What is a common sign that a client has a dry scalp?

A common sign that a client has a dry scalp is flaking skin. This condition often results from a lack of moisture in the scalp, which can lead to the formation of small, dry flakes that may be visible on the scalp and in the hair. Flaking skin can be accompanied by itchiness or discomfort, and it is a direct result of the scalp's inability to maintain adequate hydration levels. Identifying this symptom can help cosmetologists recommend appropriate treatments or products designed to hydrate and nourish the scalp, ultimately improving the client's overall hair and scalp health. Recognizing dry scalp early is essential for providing effective solutions and ensuring client satisfaction.
