"On the Feasibility of Glycolic Acid for Scalp"

Husband's scalp, the hair is attached, and the skin is also special. Glycolic acid is gradually attracting attention in the field of skin care, but whether it can be applied to the scalp, there are different opinions, and it needs to be studied in detail.

View the properties of glycolic acid, it has the ability to exfoliate and promote skin metabolism. It can be used for ordinary skin, or it can rejuvenate the skin, making the skin smooth and delicate. However, the structure of the scalp is different from that of ordinary skin, and the hair follicles under it are densely covered, and the growth and nourishment of hair are all tied here.

If glycolic acid is rashly used on the scalp, first, the thickness of the stratum corneum of the scalp is different from that of other places. The exfoliation of glycolic acid may cause excessive damage to the stratum corneum, which weakens the defense function of the scalp and makes it vulnerable to external stimuli, such as microbial invasion, chemical damage, etc., which can cause scalp itching, redness and swelling. Second, the tolerance of hair follicles to glycolic acid is unknown. Glycolic acid may interfere with the normal physiological function of hair follicles, affect the growth cycle of hair, and even cause increased hair loss.

However, there are also views that if the concentration of glycolic acid is appropriate, supplemented by proper methods, it may be used on the scalp. For example, low-concentration glycolic acid, combined with strict frequency and duration of use, may improve the microenvironment of the scalp, anti-dandruff and relieve itching on the basis of moderate damage to the scalp. Gaiyin glycolic acid can adjust the pH of the scalp and inhibit the growth of certain microorganisms, which may be the source of dandruff and itching.

To sum up, glycolic acid is used on the scalp with both advantages and disadvantages. Those who want to use it should first check their scalp condition, consult a professional, and be careful. Do not act blindly, so as not to damage the health of the scalp and hair.
