    GlossaryScalp Bacteria

    diverse microorganisms naturally residing on human scalp

    Scalp bacteria refer to the diverse community of microorganisms that naturally reside on the human scalp. These bacteria play a crucial role in maintaining scalp health by balancing the skin's microbiome, preventing the overgrowth of harmful pathogens, and contributing to the overall condition of the hair and scalp. An imbalance in these bacteria can lead to issues such as dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, or other scalp disorders.
