Synopsis
Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 4
The skin plays a crucial scientific role in supporting the hair body system. Hair follicles are embedded within the skin, specifically in the dermal layer, where they receive necessary nutrients and protection. The health of the skin directly impacts the growth, strength, and appearance of hair. Scientific studies have shown that skin conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, and eczema can negatively affect hair growth and quality by causing inflammation or damaging hair follicles. Additionally, the sebaceous glands in the skin produce sebum, an oily substance that conditions both the skin and hair, preventing dryness and brittleness.
The relationship between skin and hair is well-established in dermatology. Treatments targeting the skin, such as moisturizers, topical corticosteroids, and other dermatological interventions, often result in improved hair health. Nutritional deficiencies that manifest in the skin, such as lack of essential fatty acids or vitamins (e.g., biotin, vitamin D), can also result in hair loss or poor hair quality, further underscoring the interconnectedness of these systems.
In conclusion, there is strong scientific validation that healthy skin supports a healthy hair system, and interventions aimed at improving skin health are commonly used to support hair growth and quality.
