Scalp Health 101 with a Trichologist: Hair Loss, Dry Scalp & What Actually Helps

In this episode of Glow Diaries, I’m joined by certified trichologist and cosmetic chemist Celestine Gitau, who was one of the first experts we consulted during the early formulation development of our two new scalp products before bringing them into one of our Canadian lab partners.We wanted this conversation to go deeper than “hair trends” and marketing claims, because healthy hair starts with the environment of the scalp.We talk about what a trichologist actually does, common scalp conditions, dryness, irritation, buildup, shedding, thinning, overwashing, underwashing, scalp oils vs. scalp serums, and the everyday habits that can impact long-term scalp health.We also get into:• Signs your scalp barrier may be compromised• Why some scalps feel tight, flaky, oily, or inflamed• Hair shedding vs. hair thinning• What people misunderstand about “hair growth” products• Ingredients that help support a healthier scalp environment• Why supporting the scalp matters before focusing on the hair itselfThis episode is for anyone who has ever felt confused about what their scalp actually needs, or why their hair may not feel as healthy as it used to.Our two NEW scalp products officially launch May 19.Explore them at:Glow Jar BeautyConnect with Celestine:LinkedIn – Celestine Gitau
