Our scalp, often overlooked, plays a crucial role in our overall hair health and comfort.
However, maintaining scalp health becomes challenging and critical for those suffering from scalp conditions like psoriasis.
We understand the discomfort and aesthetic concerns of scalp psoriasis, and we’re here to offer solutions that soothe and beautify.
Understanding Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that speeds up the life cycle of skin cells, causing them to build up rapidly on the skin’s surface. When it affects the scalp, it can lead to red patches, flaky scales, intense itching, and even temporary hair loss.
Managing these symptoms requires more than standard hair care; it demands specialized attention and treatments.
It’s essential to recognize that while spa treatments can offer relief, a professional diagnosis from a healthcare provider is vital to understand and adequately manage psoriasis.

Scalp Care Tips For Home
While specialized treatments like the Japanese Head Spa can offer incredible relief and support for those with scalp psoriasis, maintaining a healthy scalp requires consistent care and attention.
Here are some tips to help keep your scalp in optimal condition:
- Gentle Cleansing: Use a mild, sulfate-free shampoo designed for sensitive scalps. Look for products that contain ingredients like tea tree oil, salicylic acid, or aloe vera to help soothe irritation and reduce flakiness. Avoid harsh chemicals or strong fragrances that can aggravate the scalp.
- Moisturize Regularly: Keeping the scalp moisturized is crucial. Use a lightweight, non-comedogenic oil like jojoba or argan oil to maintain hydration without clogging pores. Regular use of a moisturizing conditioner or leave-in treatment can also help to keep the scalp nourished.
- Avoid Heat and Irritants: Heat-styling tools and hot water can exacerbate scalp psoriasis. When washing your hair, use lukewarm water and allow your hair to air dry whenever possible. Always apply a heat protectant spray to minimize damage if you need heat tools.
- Stay Hydrated and Maintain a Balanced Diet: Drinking plenty of water and eating a diet rich in vitamins and minerals can promote overall skin health, including the scalp. Omega-3 fatty acids in foods like salmon and walnuts can help reduce inflammation and improve skin health.
- Protect Your Scalp from Sun and Cold: Extreme weather conditions can worsen psoriasis symptoms. Protect your scalp by wearing a hat or scarf outdoors and using sunscreen designed for the scalp if you spend extended periods in the sun.
Managing scalp psoriasis can feel overwhelming, but relief is within reach with the right care and specialized treatments.
Our Head Spa at Traci Woodard offers a tailored approach to soothing and revitalizing the scalp, helping to alleviate discomfort and promote healthy hair growth.
