Scalp Issues for Fine & Thinning Hair

Scalp issues like dandruff or thinning hair are an area of concern near and dear to my heart.  It’s the worst when your scalp is itchy or a cycle of hair thinning has endured.  I’ve experienced both.  Surgeries and post-partum have caused me to thin on more than one occasion.

DevaCurl doesn’t have a line for this challenge. Unfortunately, most shampoos designed for hair regeneration are sulfate based, drying out the hair. Look for a coconut base instead.

There is a hormone the body can excrete that causes hair loss. It is called Dihydrotestosterone (DHT).  Active shampoos formulated to remove the DHT are often drying.

First, you must treat your scalp condition. For this I recommend Surface, the Awaken line. I have seen hair regrowth on several clients. The product that is most active and removes the DHT is in the shampoo. The conditioners, sprays and serums are secondary to the action of the DHT removal.  Second, treat your hair with appropriate conditioners. Third, apply styling aids as appropriate.
