If you pay attention, you'll notice that many people around you have little habits like scratching their scalp with their hands when they're stressed or at work. Maybe you are one of them? Then you can stop this behaviour immediately, this insignificant little habit may lead to your baldness.

The scalp is like fertile soil and the hair is the green plant that thrives on this soil. The health of the scalp is undoubtedly the nutrient in this soil, which is directly related to the quality of hair growth and vitality. However, in our daily lives, some of our small habits, like this soil on the uninvited guests, quietly destroy its ecological balance. Just like when we squeeze a pimple, the pimple marks left on our face and the risk of infection are always a source of remorse. Similarly, when you are bored of tearing the barbs on your hand, not only the localized infection of your fingers may result, but the pain is even more unforgettable. So, have you ever thought that when you carelessly pick at the oil particles on your scalp, you are laying a hidden danger for this "soil"? These oil particles, like small "pimples" on the scalp,  are the scalp's natural secretion of oil and keratin formation. Occasionally one or two, may not cause too much trouble, but if you frequently pick them, it is like constantly stimulating the scalp, telling it: "Hey, here need more oil and keratin to fill! As a result, the scalp will follow your instructions and produce more oil and keratin, forming more oil grains.

To make matters worse, picking at the grease grains on your scalp can also lead to scalp damage and infection. Once the scalp is infected, it will be like a piece of farmland infested with pests and diseases, the quality of the soil will be greatly reduced and the growth of hair will be seriously affected. By then, you may be faced with an irreversible situation such as thinning hair and hair loss.

Our scalp is like a fertile field, the sebaceous glands under the scalp are the "small oil wells" in this field. Under normal circumstances, these "small oil wells" will continue to secrete the right amount of "oil and water", they are like a natural protective cream, not only locking the skin's moisture, to preventing our hair and scalp from dry but also can form a protective cover, the outside world of germs and dust at the door, silently guarding the health of our scalp. However, this field can sometimes be "moody". When we do not eat well, such as eating too much greasy, spicy food, or staying up late, stressed, like this field "watered too much water", those "small wells" will be over-excited, secreting too much "oil". oil and water". These excessive "oils” in the scalp flow around, but because the scalp "drainage system" is not perfect, they can not be smoothly discharged, and can only be piled up around the hair follicles, over time, the formation of those yellow or white pimples like bumps! --We are commonly known as oil particles.

Some people wash their hair, like in this field "hastily watered and left", not seriously clean the scalp, the accumulation of "oil" on the scalp is more likely to form grease particles. And those who like to use their hands to touch the hair, picking the scalp of the people, like in this field "haphazardly digging", will only make the scalp of the "soil" looser, more likely to let the "oil and water" around! The oil and water are more likely to flow around. Let's talk about those who often permed and dyed their hair. They are like in this field frequently use a variety of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, although the short term may make the hair look more shiny, in the long run, these chemicals will destroy the scalp's "ecological balance", so that the "small oil wells" to lose the original Regulating ability, and thus excessive secretion of "oil", resulting in the production of grease particles.

Whenever we use our fingertips to pick those oil particles, we are stimulating the scalp, so that the skin there is more sensitive and more prone to inflammation. And once the lesion area is repeatedly scratched by us, even picking out blood, then it may even trigger an infection. Sliding on the scalp with just the right amount of force, such a massage can also make our hair more beautiful and shiny. Try to make a change and treat your scalp in a more gentle and pampering way.
