Epidermal Turnover

Meaning ❉ The gentle rhythm of Epidermal Turnover refers to the skin’s continuous, quiet renewal process on the scalp, where older cells gracefully make way for fresh ones. For our beautiful textured strands, understanding this natural cycle is fundamental; a balanced scalp environment, free from accumulated debris, offers the true foundation for robust hair growth. This cellular exchange acts as a subtle, internal system for scalp health, mirroring the thoughtful routines we develop for our coils and curls. When this natural process flows unimpeded, it helps keep the scalp feeling light and comfortable, directly supporting the vitality of each hair strand. For Black and mixed-race hair, where detailed styling and thoughtful product application are often part of our heritage and care, mindful attention to this turnover becomes even more vital. Gentle, consistent cleansing and appropriate scalp treatments are the quiet agents ensuring this natural shedding occurs optimally, preventing buildup that can hinder scalp well-being and hair progression.
