Are you dreaming of having beautiful, vibrant hair that shines with life? It all begins with the proper care and maintenance of your scalp – the bedrock for a successful haircare journey. It’s now indisputable that a healthy scalp is essential for promoting strong, vibrant hair: science confirms this fact.
The scalp is one of the most unclean areas on your body
Your scalp is full of sweat and oil glands that create sebum. When you run your nails through your hair, the white-waxy deposit left behind is a combination of dead skin cells and sebum. A regular shampoo doesn’t always do enough to clear away the excess oils – an ingredient like salicylic acid must be used in order for it to break down completely. It’s important to remember than environmental conditions, such as stress or extreme temperatures, can irritate your scalp which causes more production of this oily substance. That’s why scalp treatments are essential if you want healthy hair!
Product buildup can make your hair feel dry and look unhealthy
No one wants to experience the uncomfortable and unpleasant effects of product buildup or scalp dryness, such as itching and flakiness. Styling products can help you appear more groomed, but it’s critical to remember that frequent usage will leave residue which accumulates on your scalp over time. If left untreated, this build-up has the potential to cause severe dryness and flaking as well as clogged follicles. Additionally, some shampoo and conditioning products may even further contribute to this buildup. What’s even worse is that over-washing your hair will not only strip it of essential oil, but may also leave it feeling especially dry and brittle.
Your scalp might be why your hair is getting thinner
Clogged hair follicles caused by sebum, skin flakes, pollution and product buildup are compounded by age, stress hormones and even illness or medication – all of which can lead to thinning hair. When your hair follicles become blocked by buildup, there is no space for additional hairs to grow since multiple strands will typically sprout from each. This ultimately results in thinning of the hair.
There are ways to make your scalp healthier. Here are some tips on how to do this:
- Use a clarifying shampoo on your scalp and hair weekly to remove product buildup
- Opt for a shampoo and conditioner that offers hydration for a dry scalp, or one that won’t weigh down your hair for an oily scalp
- Incorporate scalp treatments into your haircut routine – moisture replenishing masks, detoxifying scrubs and specialized serums can nourish, hydrate, reduce inflammation and irritation
- Avoid over washing your hair, as this will strip it of essential oils and cause dryness
- Massage your scalp to stimulate the follicles and promote healthy hair growth
- Reduce stress and maintain a balanced diet to keep your scalp healthy and vibrant
- Protect your scalp from extreme temperatures and pollutants by wearing a hat or scarf when outdoors
- Consider supplementing your scalp with vitamins and minerals to further nourish the follicles
- Stay away from shampoos and conditioners that contain harsh chemicals as these can further dry out your scalp and hair
- Always use a deep conditioning mask once a week to ensure your hair is properly nourished
- Regularly exfoliate your scalp with a gentle scrub to remove dead skin cells and product buildup
- Speak to your doctor if you experience any unexpected or excessive hair loss, as this may be a sign of a medical condition
- Finally, try to relax and don’t stress too much about your hair; just enjoy the journey of taking care of it!
