Questions about scalp cleansing

No, you just have to choose the right shampoo for your scalp type. There's no need to let shampoo stay on your head, because the surfactants in the shampoo are already picking up the grease and dirt as you're rubbing with your fingers during the shampooing process. If you used styling products or feel that your hair is extra oily, you can wash your hair twice: wash your scalp the first time, and then wash your hair the second time. The most important thing is to cleanse every part of the scalp carefully.
Slight abnormal hair loss could be caused by the use of unsuitable shampoos as well as washing your hair the wrong way. So here’s the right way to wash your hair:
1. After rinsing your hair, pour the shampoo into your palm first, and then rub it until it lathers.
2. Then, apply the lather to the hair.
3. Use the pulp of your fingers to massage every part of the scalp; once it’s been thoroughly cleansed, rinse it clean with warm water.

Many people are accustomed to pouring shampoo directly onto their heads and using the scalp as a lathering tool, but you shouldn’t be doing that. If you don't carefully rinse all of the shampoo off, over time you will find that the hair in the area of your scalp that you use as a lathering tool will gradually become thinner. This is because the shampoo left on the scalp has gradually blocked your pores, which stops your hair from growing properly.

So if you are the type to pour shampoo directly onto your head, you should say goodbye to that habit as soon as possible. Don’t let your scalp become a barren wasteland.

Also, choosing the right shampoo is the best solution.
No. The main reason that this statement exists is because people worry that their shampoos could contain bad additives. Since many shampoos on the market may contain harmful chemical ingredients, it is more important to choose a good shampoo carefully than to focus on changing shampoos often. As long as you choose a good-quality shampoo that's right for you, you don't have to change shampoos all the time and risk coming across a harmful shampoo.
Not at all! The amount of bubbles produced has nothing to do with cleansing power. The bubbles are produced by the interaction between air, water, and the surfactants in the shampoo. Surfactants are mainly used to remove dirt. Their molecules have two ends; one end is hydrophilic (which attracts water and repels grease) while the other end is hydrophobic (which repels water and attracts grease).
When the hydrophilic ends come into contact with water, they are pulled by it, whereas the hydrophobic ends gather around any material that is not soluble in water, such as grease and dirt. When the hydrophobic ends attach themselves to the dirt, the hydrophilic ends will wrap around the hydrophobic ends, and then the dirt will be removed after rinsing with water.

The amount of bubbles is not the point; the size of the bubbles is. A good surfactant has fine bubbles that are not irritating to the scalp, but having fine bubbles makes it seem like there are less bubbles. A surfactant with stronger cleansing power produces more bubbles with a greater size and coarser texture; when it’s used on the scalp, it tends to make the scalp feel tight because of excessive cleansing. Most of the shampoos marketed for oil control use the stronger kind of surfactants, so consumers have the temporary illusion of a dry, refreshed scalp after washing, but what they don’t realize is that the scalp will only secrete more sebum to protect itself after the surface sebum has all been washed away, so their scalps will only become more and more oily.

Chemical surfactants with strong cleansing power and low costs are more common, such as SLES and SLS. Some examples of milder surfactants include the amphoteric surfactant cocamidopropyl betaine, the low-irritation anionic surfactant sodium cocoyl isethionate, and the plant extract-based decyl glucoside.

The purpose of shampoos is to cleanse appropriately so that the scalp has a right amount of sebum.

Questions about the scalp, abnormal hair loss

Oily scalp: Sebum soon appears within a day of shampooing.
Normal scalp: You're fine even if you only wash your hair every two days.
Dry/sensitive scalp: Your hair isn't that oily even if you haven't washed it for more than three days.
The hair on the top of the head is not always growing, it grows in a cycle. So having your hair fall out is part of your normal metabolism. At any given moment, 85% to 90% of hair is in the growth phase (anagen phase), and 10 to 15% is in the resting phase (telogen phase). So if you have 100,000 hairs, which is the average amount, 10,000 of those would be in the resting phase. If you spread those out evenly over the entire resting phase, let's say 100 days, you would lose 100 hairs a day. Therefore, if you lose about 50 to 100 hairs every day, it is only 1% or less of the total amount of your hair in the resting phase, and that is the normal range. With hair that falls out naturally, the root is covered by a white bulb of keratin, which looks like a pestle. To the naked eye, it looks like a little white blob. If you pull out a hair that is growing, you will find that the root of the hair is tissue that is soft, curved, and black.
First, take a moment and think about whether you've been under a lot of stress lately. This scalp condition is called scarring hair loss, also known as cicatricial alopecia, and scarring hair loss is a common type of stress baldness. It is mainly caused by shrinking hair follicles, but the follicles haven't died, so this type of baldness is reversible. As soon as the stress is gone and complementary treatments are given, the hair will grow back.
About 50% of people recover on their own within six months to a year after the onset of symptoms, but the color of the hair that grows back may be different, and the recurrence rate of this type of baldness is very high.
It is difficult to say when baldness, known medically as alopecia, might start for everyone, but if it is genetic alopecia, it is very likely that hair loss will start in your 20s. If you are at high risk for genetic alopecia, you need to start caring for your scalp early so that you can delay the onset of hair loss. As biotechnology continues to develop, the use of hair care products can slow down or even reverse the aging of the scalp. So do not give up and ignore the issue; if you do, you'll miss the opportunity for your scalp to recover.
Yes, they do. The incidence rate increases with age, with 12% of women experiencing significant hair loss before age 29, 25% by age 49, and 40% having some degree of male pattern baldness after menopause.
Male pattern baldness in women appears as baldness spreading from the crown of the scalp and outward from a parting line, while hair along the frontal hairline is retained.
You can tell your scalp is aging by the appearance of your hair. It would have no shine and look frizzy, plus it would be thinning and growing slowly. Your hair color will become lighter, appearing as grey or white, and your scalp will become sensitive, saggy, and thin.

The symptoms of scalp aging can be divided into three major stages, from mild to severe:
I. Mild: sensitivity, dryness, sagging.
2. Moderate: imbalance in sebum secretion leading to slight hair loss and fine hair that is prone to breakage.
3. Severe: grey hair, balding.
If you are producing too much sebum, the issue lies in the way you wash your hair.
Cells have a self-regulating mechanism. If we use a shampoo with a particularly strong cleansing power, the cells can sense that there isn’t enough sebum on the scalp, so they will secrete more sebum in an attempt to protect the scalp. After going through this cycle several times, the entire self-regulating mechanism of the cells will eventually collapse.
Therefore, you need to cleanse the scalp properly, but not remove too much of the sebum. In addition, you should also pay attention to the following:
● Choose your shampoo carefully
● Avoid excessive hair washing
● Avoid using water that is too hot in the shower
● Avoid excessive dyeing and perming
● Avoid using too high of a temperature to blow dry your hair
Don't worry too much! There are actually two kinds of hair: terminal hair and vellus hair. Terminal hair is the kind that grows especially thick, such as eyebrows, chest hair, and the hair on your head. Vellus hair is the fine hair that covers the skin of the body; it grows periodically for a short term—only one cycle—before it falls off, so applying hair growth serums on the skin will not make those short-term hairs grow like wild.

Questions about grey hair

The main cause is an ingredient in hair dyes called hydrogen peroxide, which not only bleaches the melanin in the hair but also damages the melanocytes in the hair follicles so that they can't produce melanin, resulting in hair greying faster after it's been dyed.
That's right! There are two types of melanin, one is eumelanin and the other is pheomelanin. For example, blond hair is the result of having a small amount of eumelanin. The amount that each type of melanin is secreted varies from individual to individual, so even if two people are of the same race, they may have different hair colors.
Hair that is dark and shiny is made up of hair papilla cells, keratinocytes, and melanocytes.
Hair papilla cells secrete growth factors that make keratinocytes multiply and turn into hair shafts.
After the melanocytes secrete melanin, they extend their dendrites to transfer the melanin into the keratinocytes. When the keratinocytes multiply and mature into a hair shaft, we see colored hair.
Hair follicles with white hair does not receive melanin, so the keratinocytes multiply at a much faster rate, which is why white hairs grow so fast and thick and why it hurts so much when you pull them out.
Actually, the original color of our hair is white!
The reason we have color in our hair is because of melanin, which is secreted by the melanocytes in the hair follicles.
When we grow old, our hair follicles age with us as well, so we have fewer melanocytes that produce melanin, resulting in our hair color turning lighter and becoming grey or white.

About Daily Skin Care

Dermamade® Nature Coating Multi-Purpose Skin Renew Treatment Gel: You can use it for repairing problematic skin during the day and as a serum at night, allowing its key ingredient Renecin® to continuously revitalize the skin from deep within and boost the skin's resilience.

Dermamade® Nature Coating Facial Renew Lotion: During the day, it repairs fragile and sensitive skin while providing long-lasting moisture retention that moisturizes dry skin. At night, you can use it as a lotion that gets rids of dull and rough skin by brightening and refining it from the inside out.
You should be able to use a good quality product that can help regulate sebum secretion and enhance the skin's defenses from your youth to your later years. The only thing you need to remember is to care for your skin in accordance with your skin type. For example, dry skin needs products that are more moisturizing, while oily skin should be hydrated and lightly moisturized. Regardless of age, the key to choosing a product is whether it has good, natural ingredients that won't irritate or burden the skin
This means you have combination skin. Generally speaking, you can either use different products for different areas of your face or just use products that can both moisturize and regulate sebum secretion at the same time, such as products that contain advanced colostrum peptide complexes; those products use cellular and molecular biotechnology to relieve sensitivity and itching caused by dryness in the cheeks, regulate the sebum secretion of the parts of your skin that are oily, and improve the texture of your combination skin from the inside out.
Many people think that oily skin or acne-prone skin doesn't need moisturizing, but that's not true! These two skin types need proper moisturization to stay conditioned and to regulate sebum secretion. Otherwise, the skin will automatically secrete more sebum to protect the skin once moisture is lost, which will result in a more serious imbalance in sebum secretion. The same is true for acne-prone skin, so you should also be sure to moisturize if you are prone to acne.

The first thing you need to do is to choose a skin care product that does not burden your skin and has natural, non-sticky ingredients, such as a product that contains advanced colostrum peptide complexes, which can repair skin, regulate sebum secretion, improve skin texture, and significantly relieve the discomfort caused by oiliness and acne.

About the skin's special needs

The golden healing period for skin damage is the first two to three weeks after the damage took place. If you can boost your skin's immunity and speed up the healing process during this time, you can reduce the risk of scarring.
Skin damage is a complicated issue to deal with; regardless of the type of problem, the most important thing is to give your skin the help it needs.
By strengthening the skin's ability to fight inflammation and heal wounds in addition to providing proper nourishment, the skin's resilience will naturally become enhanced.
Regular lip balm only reduces the feeling of dryness in your lips by using lipids, which doesn’t solve the problem. You can use the Dermamade® Nature Coating Multi-Purpose Skin Renew Treatment Gel with its advanced colostrum peptide complexes to condition your lips! They form an invisible protective film on the skin, enhancing your lips’ defenses externally while repairing the skin internally. At the same time, they relieve existing dryness from the inside out so that your lips will no longer peel.
Since most skin care products on the market have a lot of chemical ingredients, we recommend that you see a dermatologist first if you already have itching and symptoms of allergy, and that you stop using products with a complicated list of ingredients. Switch to a product with natural and non-medical ingredients containing advanced colostrum peptide complexes, which form a protective layer over the skin to heal and moisturize it as well as to reduce sensitivity and discomfort.
If you already have spots on your face, you should take care of your skin by properly applying sunscreen every day to prevent more spots from appearing. At the same time, you should use a product that contains advanced colostrum peptide complexes because they can revitalize the skin by forming an invisible shield to help block UV rays, polluted air and other hazards, thereby brightening and refining the skin as well as reducing the chance of new spots appearing on your face.
If you are prone to acne, it may be because your skin is weaker against external stimuli, you do not have a healthy diet or routine, your sebum secretion is out of balance, or you are using products that are not suitable for your skin. We recommend that you make some adjustments to your lifestyle and review the skin care products that you use. Choose a product that has advanced colostrum peptide complexes, which can form an invisible shield to block external stimuli and revitalize the skin, enhancing the skin's defenses to effectively reduce its burden and increase its resilience.
