What Happens to the Scalp As We Age?
- Baby scalps starts out soft. Hair is also soft and fuzzy.
- Teen scalp can be dry and cause dandruff. It can also turn oily from overactive sebaceous glands. A zinc shampoo can help the dandruff. A change in diet and special shampoos can aid with an oily scalp.
- Adult scalp loses the oil present in teenager scalp. The scalp may develop dandruff again. You can use the same shampoo containing zinc to clear up dandruff.
- In elderly scalp, replacement of hair in the follicle of the scalp begins to slow down. Hair turns gray more now than previously. Hair loss increases.
