    This time, I will explain ``Does a hard scalp cause baldness?''

    People with thin hair have hard scalps.

    As part of AGA treatment, there is a treatment method in which active ingredients are injected directly into the scalp, but the scalp of people with AGA is often hard, making it difficult to inject.
    Also, from my experience as a hairdresser,Most people who suffer from thinning hair have the impression that their scalp is hard.
    On the other hand, there were no people whose scalps were not hard or whose scalps were soft and fresh, and who suffered from thinning hair.
    Even if you try to give a scalp massage to someone with thinning hair, the scalp (especially the top of the head) will be so hard that it won't move, so I think this has something in common with thinning hair.

    Is it scientifically proven that a hard scalp causes baldness?

    Next, I would like to introduce some scientifically proven data on the fact that a hard scalp can lead to baldness.
    This is an explanation based on research results from Lion Corporation.
    Using something called a scalp hardness meter,As a result of examining the scalps of people with thinning hair and those without thinning hair, it was found that people with thinning hair have harder scalps.
    In addition, There is also data showing that people with dry skin have hard scalps and suffer from thinning hair.

    Poor blood circulation and dry scalp

    It is said that poor blood circulation causes the scalp to become dry.
    The reason why the scalp becomes dry due to poor blood circulation is that when blood circulation is poor, the turnover of new skin does not occur properly, and old keratin remains on the skin, causing dry skin.
    Dry scalp is what causes the scalp to become hard, and the cause of this dryness is poor blood circulation.
    It is said that poor blood circulation is a direct cause of thinning hair, so it is important to prevent poor blood circulation to the scalp through daily scalp care.

    How to improve poor blood circulation in the scalp

    To improve blood flow, massage your scalp thoroughly for 5 to 10 minutes after taking a bath to moisturize your scalp.
    It is also important to be conscious of daily scalp care, such as going to a head spa regularly.
    If you do a head spa even once a week, the condition of your hair will change.
    You probably don't do a head spa once a week, but if you make it a habit, it can help prevent scalp problems, so we recommend doing so.
