Products over processed indeed induce a cascade of hormonal reactions harmful to the skin in general (acne teens), and the scalp in particular.
In detail: Their higher rate of sugar passes too quickly into the bloodstream and triggers a surge of insulin, which stimulates the adrenal glands and activates the secretion of adrenal androgens, which, in turn, release of sebum and lead to the formation of sebaceous impurities. These impurities (cell debris fat) are deposited under the scalp, impede the flow of blood to the hair roots and may constrain their development.
