Ever notice your scalp feeling sore after going too long without washing your hair? That tenderness comes from oil, sweat, and product buildup clogging your follicles, creating the perfect environment for yeast and bacteria to thrive. Over time this can lead to irritation, inflammation, and even flakes.⁠ ⁠ Washing your hair regularly is key. For most people that means every two to three days. If you’re dealing with soreness look for a shampoo with salicylic acid or zinc pyrithione to gently exfoliate and calm irritation. #scalphealth #dermatologisttips #healthyhair⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠
