What is a common sign that a client may have a hair or scalp issue?

Excessive hair shedding or skin irritation is a common sign that a client may have a hair or scalp issue because these symptoms often indicate underlying problems that could range from scalp conditions like dermatitis or psoriasis to issues with hair health such as thinning or breakage. Excessive shedding can suggest factors such as stress, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, or other health-related issues. Skin irritation can manifest in various forms, such as redness, flaking, or itching, and could signal an allergic reaction, infection, or other dermatological condition that requires attention.

In contrast, full-bodied hair with no issues signifies healthy hair, which does not raise concerns about the hair or scalp condition. Regular hair color changes or frequent requests for new styles, while they may indicate a desire for aesthetic change or fashion preferences, do not inherently reflect any underlying issues with hair or scalp health. Thus, these symptoms are not reliable indicators of a client having a potential problem.
