How to tell if you have a sensitive scalp
Conditions that are normally pretty harmless - like wind, heat, cold, or hair care products- can trigger these symptoms in a sensitive scalp.
When you come out of the shower, check your scalp to see if it appears red for longer than normal. Alternatively, you can part your hair to the side and observe a section of the scalp to check for redness or irritation.
You may experience discomfort or pain on your scalp when using hair dryers or in extreme hot or cold weather.
