Does A Serum Work For All Scalp Types?

 by Better Not Younger

Many of us think shampooing and conditioning is enough scalp care. After all, it's clean, right? Yet, our scalps contain the follicles and supporting tissue that create and grow our strands. They need products that deliver vitamins and other nutrients to keep them functioning to their fullest potential.


Scalp serums can play a large part in encouraging healthy hair by addressing your underlying hair biology. If you wash your hair too frequently, you are cleansing away natural oils and preventing them from replenishing. On the flip side, if you’re using dry shampoo and washing too infrequently, your scalp is liable to become dry and develop flakes. 


Just as different hair types require different shampoos to address their varying needs, the same principle applies to your scalp and the serum it requires. Choose a serum that works for all scalp types.


First, Identify the Type of Scalp You Have


To choose the right scalp treatment, it's crucial to figure out what's happening up there. Is your hair thinning? Are you dry and flaky, or greasy and oily?


If you are perimenopausal or menopausal, you are likely experiencing hormone fluctuations which may be behind most, if not all, of your scalp challenges.


Hair Thinning


Menopause causes hormone variations and increased androgen levels, especially dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT attaches to your hair follicles like a weed, slowing or stopping hair growth and leading to strands that grow out fine and brittle and fall out sooner. 


Dry, Flaky Scalp


Additionally, the sebaceous glands at the base of your follicles produce a scalp nourishing oil called sebum. Sebum maintains your skin’s pH balance and helps protect it from oxidative stress. 


Menopause-related hormone changes cause your sebaceous glands to produce less sebum, leading to a drier scalp.


Oily Scalp


Some women experience an oily scalp and hair during menopause. Reduced estrogen and progesterone can leave DHT unchecked, allowing it to shrink your follicles and reduce the hair-growing phase. 


The result is fewer and finer full-length hairs to absorb sebum, leaving you with a greasy, dirty-feeling scalp.  


Next, Choose a Serum That Will Work for All Scalp Types


Knowing what menopausal changes are happening in our bodies and how they affect our scalp is a good first step toward discovering the right solution.


Once you have determined what scalp type you have, you can look for a serum containing ingredients to address the issues. Ideally, you want to choose a product like Better Not Younger’s Superpower Fortifying Hair & Scalp Serum. 


This clinically-proven serum is loaded with restorative ingredients for your scalp and follicles. Better Not Younger takes a two-pronged approach to address age-related scalp problems: 

  1. It delivers vital nutrients to your scalp skin to support its natural functions and balance pH.
  2. It provides your follicles the vitamins and nourishment they need to generate healthier hair.

What’s in Superpower Fortifying Hair & Scalp Serum?


Each ingredient found in a two-fluid-ounce bottle of Superpower Fortifying Hair & Scalp Serum is supported by scientific research regarding its effects on the scalp. 


The formula mixtures were created by an MIT scientist based on each ingredient’s proven ability to alleviate various age-related scalp conditions. Every dropper of Superpower Serum contains:


  • Ginger and caffeine — Ginger and caffeine are two natural stimulants included to boost blood flow and motivate your follicles. 
  • Kelp extract — Kelp supplies your scalp with iodine, zinc and vitamins A and C.
  • Centella asiatica – Centella asiatica can act as a strengthening agent to nourish your scalp and follicles, preparing them for vibrant health. 
  • Niacinamide — Niacinamide, a water-soluble B vitamin, boosts skin hydration, helps reduce scalp irritation and supports denser hair.

These nutrients are crucial to balancing your pH levels, stimulating your scalp’s blood flow, and nourishing your follicles. 


Proof That BNY Serum May Work for Your Scalp Type


In a recent clinical home usage study, 90% of women using Superpower Fortifying Hair & Scalp Serum for eight weeks experienced a visible improvement in their hair's appearance. 80% of those tested said their hair felt stronger and noticed less hair fall after two months of daily use.


How Do You Use Superpower Fortifying Hair & Scalp Serum?


Unlike hair solutions that give you instant gratification and glossy and gorgeous tresses, Superpower Fortifying Hair & Scalp Serum takes time to work its magic. 


Drink plenty of water, eat well and use our product nightly and you will witness your scalp feeling healthy and balanced. Over time, your hair will become thicker and easier to style. Depending on your scalp’s condition, you should start noticing healthier skin and thicker roots in about three weeks to a month.


Apply the Serum to Your Scalp Using the Built-In Applicator


Use Superpower Fortifying Serum day or night, though we recommend night, so it has time to work its way into your skin.  


Separate your damp or dry hair into sections and charge your dropper with serum. The long glass dropper has an angled tip to make the application process easier.  


Part your hair as you work around your head, placing a drop at a time two inches apart onto your scalp.


Work the Serum into Your Scalp


After applying the solution, use your fingertips or knuckles to massage it into your scalp. Massage using small circular motions for three to five minutes.


Sustain moderate pressure as you move your way across your head. Relax and take your time.


Use the Superpower Liquid Comb Massaging Serum Applicator 


Use Better Not Younger’s Superpower Liquid Comb Massaging Serum Applicator to apply your serum and enjoy a simultaneous scalp massage. 


Designed to work with all scalp and hair types, this massaging applicator applies the liquid using evenly spaced, aluminum ball-tipped dispensers. It also increases blood microcirculation in your scalp while applying the serum directly to your roots. 


Remove the filling port cover and add the scalp serum into the filling port using the dropper (max. 1 fl oz/30ml). Close the cover and press the comb teeth gently onto your scalp. 


Slide it back and forth to spread the serum while experiencing a powerful massage. When you are finished, don’t wash it off. It is non-greasy and fast-absorbing so that it won't build up.
