ABSTRACT
Hair condition may be adversely affected by the state of the underlying, fostering, nourishing, and hair-bearing scalp, which means that maintaining the scalp in a good condition is a prime requisite to prevent hair from potentially unpleasant, unattractive, or disfiguring defects. Hence a paramount need for providing the most appropriate care to those scalps which are prone to be greasy, dry, itchy, scaly, all conditions that are commonly exacerbated by stress, upsets, disturbances or irregularities in life habits, etc. Scalp is therefore part of hair care and must be dealt with by the cosmetic scientist with particular focus on the following conditions: greasy scalp, dandruff, and hair loss.
