Glossary Sensitive Scalp

condition where scalp becomes easily irritated or painful

Sensitive Scalp, also known as Scalp Sensitivity or Scalp Tenderness, refers to a condition where the scalp becomes easily irritated or painful. This can be due to various factors such as skin conditions (e.g., psoriasis, eczema), allergic reactions to hair products, environmental factors, or even stress. Symptoms may include itching, burning, redness, and discomfort when touching or brushing the hair. Understanding the underlying cause is crucial for effective treatment and management.
