Topic: Scalp care, hair Follicle nutrition and Exposome protection:

Abstract:

Although, healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp, scalp care is different from hair care, and it shouldn’t be approached as such. Scalp care is not just taking care of dandruff, itching, and flaking but goes deep into molecular level by supporting a healthy barrier and antioxidant function. The talk will focus on a comprehensive approach to take care of scalp.

The next prominent subject which is often missed is follicle nutrition. Many a times consumers and product manufacturers are concerned at taking care of external hair health rather than hair follicle. Hair follicle health has a direct effect on normal hair growth patterns effecting hair texture, appearance, and strength. Hence, hair follicle health and nutrition are another important aspect of hair care.

In addition to this, hair is exposed to many stressors such as pollution, radiation, climate, physical and chemical manipulations. Exposome stressors may overcome the body’s protective potential and change the structure of hair leading to pre-mature aging induced damage.

The talk will emphasize on how to take care of scalp health, follicle nutrition and protecting the hair from exposome induced damage.
