Scalp Anatomy 101: What's Really Going On Under Your Hair?

Have you ever thought about what's going on under your hair? We often focus on our strands — length, shine, thickness — but rarely think about the real MVP of hair health: the scalp.

Let's take a journey beneath the surface.

A Hidden World Beneath Your Hair
Imagine your scalp as a garden bed. Your hair is the plant, but what really matters is the soil — rich, nourished, and well-cared for. Underneath each strand is a hair follicle, a tiny tube-like structure where hair begins its life.

Nearby are sebaceous glands, which produce sebum — your scalp's natural oil. It's like a built-in moisturizer, but when things go out of balance (too much oil, too little), the whole system is thrown off.

Now add in blood vessels, which bring essential nutrients and oxygen, and nerve endings that explain why a scalp massage feels like pure bliss. Together, they create a mini-ecosystem… one that needs proper TLC.

Why This Matters for You
When we perform a Cephalo Headspa treatment, we're not just pampering you. We're increasing blood flow, clearing buildup, and bringing balance back to your scalp. Think of it as hitting the reset button for your hair's foundation.

So next time you're enjoying the soothing steam and gentle massage — remember, there's science under all that relaxation.
