CC by Hygiene Matters

If you have ever had an allergic reaction to a hair product, you may have gotten what looks like pimples on your scalp. Those pimples can be a mild form of scalp acne. Aside from an allergic reaction to a product, scalp acne can also be a result of a yeast infection, mites or a particular type of bacteria. These triggers cause the follicles on your scalp to become irritated and inflamed, therefore, forming pimples.

How To Get Rid of It:

Cleanse your hair with a shampoo that contains tea tree oil (a natural germ combatant), like Paul Brown Hawaii Hapuna Anti-Frizz Silk Shampoo, $68.95.

Shampoos with Salicylic Acid (like Kerastase Reflection Bain Miroir 1, $12.95) exfoliate the scalp and loosen dead skin cells.

Dandruff shampoos (try Redken Scalp Relief Dandruff Control Shampoo, $10.99) can sometimes alleviate inflammation with zinc.

Note: Make sure to stay away from heavy, oily products that can further clog the pores on your head.

How to use NIOXIN Scalp Renew

02.03.10 / Author: admin

Those of us who suffer from scalp hair loss or thinning hair can now benefit from NIOXIN Scalp Renew, a one-of-a-kind anti-aging scalp treatment that is often referred to as microdermabrasion for the scalp. These hair and scalp treatments can be used in addition to any scalp hair loss treatment system. Always make sure to wear gloves while using NIOXIN Scalp Renew.

Directions for applying NIOXIN Scalp Renew:

Apply the mousse-like product throughout the dry scalp. In order to ensure thorough coverage, part the hair into four large sections and outline each section with NIOXIN Scalp Renew.

Then, part each of the larger four sections into thin rows of hair about 1” apart from one another and apply the scalp treatment product to each line. Then go back and part each of the large four sections into thin columns about 1” apart from one another and apply the scalp treatment product in the lines.

Massage the scalp treatment product into the scalp in an upward circular motion for one minute to ensure thorough coverage and initiate activation. Discard any scalp treatment product left over in the bottle.

Leave the product on for 10 minutes and then rinse with warm water until the scalp treatment product is totally out of your hair and scalp.

Finally, wash and style hair as usual.

For the best results, use NIOXIN Scalp Renew correctly every 30 to 45 days. For extra information on NIOXIN Scalp Renew or any other NIOXIN products, visit The Beauty Place.
