SUBTLE SIGNS
1. SENSITIVITY TO COLD OR TINGLING SENSATIONS
This is when your scalp feels incredibly uncomfortable when in contact with anything that is minty or cold, especially with essential oils. This could deter you from using nourishing products for your skin, and miss out on important hair growth benefits.
2. REACTIVE TO STANDARD PRODUCTS
This is when your scalp skin reacts to standard products with ingredients that usually do not cause alarm. It can be a tell that your scalp is irritated even before use, whether it’s from buildup, inflammation, or underlying health issues.
