How To Care For Your Scalp?

Healthy scalp care 

Healthy hair starts from the root and that’s why attention to your scalp is the key to luscious locks. How do you know if your scalp is healthy? Track it for a couple weeks or keep a hair diary. If you find yourself surrounded with problems such as hair loss, itchy scalp, excessively oily, frizz etc, then your hair needs some good TLC. Here are some tips on how to get your scalp to in its best shape!

1. Establish a proper routine 
   Considering the scalp is an extension of our face, it too requires a good routine to cleanse, exfoliate and lock in moisture.  In order to see lasting results, consistency is key. Having a routine will allow you to keep track of what and how much you’re putting on your scalp. However, over-washing is also harmful. Regulate your washes to once/twice a week depending on hair texture to avoid  
2. Protect your hair from sun damage and heat 
   This might not be talked about as much, but your scalp barrier can also be damaged if you are exposed too long under the sun. It can cause excessively hair loss which in turn would mean less hair to protect the scalp and more direct UV damage. Just like our skin, special heat protectants have been made after this discovery to shield the scalp and hair from the sun. You could also use a stylish accessory like a scarf or hat to cover up. Styling tools on the other hand such as straighteners, curlers and blow dryers are also known to commonly cause heat damage but can be maintained with heat protectants. This slight change to your routine can do wonders to your hair’s health and subsequently your scalp’s.
3. Deep condition
   The root cause of this is the lack of moisture the scalp receives and the tugging and pulling of the heat tools or daily movement of brushing and putting your hair up. Deep conditioning through oils, masks or treatments is the way to go. Adding moisture back into the hair not only nourishes the hair but also promotes strength which eliminates breakage. When used with a scalp massager, your conditioning ritual will not only feel relaxing but also lead to the better results.
   
4. Hair maintenance 
   This might seem like a simple tip, but is often the one to be overlooked by many. You can incorporate the best, most popular products for your scalp into your routine but all else fails if you don’t take utmost care of it when you’re out of the shower. Rough and unruly practices can take a massive tool on your scalp's health, and you might not even realise it. Basic practices such as overnight protection, the use of a microfibre towel, regular trims and the avoidance of tight hair ties can make a lot more difference than you think.

Using these tips can really boost scalp health and lead you to worry less about your hair. So do your hair a favour and give it some much needed care shop our Hair Oil Treatments and Scalp Massagers for the best results on a healthier scalp!
