    GlossaryScalp Blood Flow

    circulation of blood through scalp vessels, nourishing hair follicles

    Scalp blood flow refers to the circulation of blood through the network of blood vessels in the scalp. This flow is crucial for delivering oxygen and nutrients to hair follicles, which can influence hair growth and overall scalp health. Enhanced scalp blood flow is often associated with healthier hair and may be a target for treatments aimed at combating hair loss or promoting hair growth.
