The causes of alopecia become diverse because of two factors: external factors like fine dust, and genetic factors. People are interested with the health of scalp and hair to prevent hair loss. The purpose of this study is to research about the effects of home scalp scaling. With the home scalp scaling, the status of scalp and hair can be improved, and it will prevent hair loss. The test subjects who are 20's to 50's adult ladies. The test subjects had scalp diagnosis before the experiments. They are divided into two groups: a dried and sensitive scalp group, and an oily scalp group. The dried and sensitive scalp group had home scalp scaling once in a week and the other one had home scalp scaling twice in a week. This study measured before taking home scaling and after take home scaling for 8 weeks, and compared the scalp changes. This study divides four regions of for the measuring: parietal, left temporal area, right temporal area, and occipital region. The four regions are checked by a measuring machine. The amount of oil on the scalp after the experiments are decreased but the amount of moisture of the scalp are increased. The amount of oil on the left temporal area and occipital region are (z=-2.160, p<0.05). The amount of moisture on left temporal area are (z=-3.155, p<0.01), right temporal area are (z=-2.116, p<0.05), and occipital region are (z=-3.078,p<0.01). Before the experiment, the thickness of a hair is 0.119±0.017. After the exam, the thickness of a hair became 0.143±0.024 (p<0.05). It shows that the thickness of a hair became thicker after the experiments. The dead skin cells on the scalp are decreased after the test and the color of the scalp became clear white blue. It verified to compare before and after by 80x magnification of a measuring machine. Also the sebum oxides are decreased so the pores are opened and the line of pore is clear. It verified to compare before and after by 400x magnification scope. The result of this study shows that the healthy hair can be occurred by scalp managements, and the scalp scaling is one of the most important method for the health of the scalp. Home scaling care can manage the health of hair and scalp. Also it prevents hair loss.
