Essential Scalp Care Tips

Healthy hair starts from a healthy scalp. Proper scalp care improves density, reduces shedding, and supports long-term growth.

1. Cleanse Properly

Washing your scalp regularly removes oil, sweat, and product residue.

  • For oily scalps → wash more frequently

  • For dry scalps → choose hydrating shampoos
    Clean roots = stronger follicles.

2. Exfoliate Gently

Weekly exfoliation unclogs follicles and removes dead skin cells.
You can use:

  • Gentle scrubs

  • Enzyme-based exfoliants

  • Scalp brushes
    This boosts oxygen flow and increases absorption of treatments.

3. Improve Circulation

Blood flow delivers nutrients to the roots.
Helpful methods:

  • Daily 2–3 minute scalp massage

  • Essential oils (rosemary, peppermint) diluted in carrier oils

  • Professional scalp treatments (LED, NIR, oxygen therapy)

4. Avoid Tight Hairstyles

Constant tension from ponytails, braids, or extensions can weaken follicles (traction alopecia).
Use loose styles whenever possible.

5. Reduce Heat & Chemicals

Heat exposes hair to high temperatures that weaken the strands.
Try to:

  • Lower heat settings

  • Use heat protectant

  • Avoid frequent bleaching or straightening
    Healthy hair grows from a healthy scalp environment.

6. Hydrate & Nourish

Drink enough water and maintain a balanced diet.
Scalp dryness often comes from dehydration.

7. Professional Treatments

A trichologist can help with deeper treatments such as:

  • Scalp detox

  • Ozone therapy

  • LED therapy

  • NIR growth stimulation

  • Oxygen infusion
    These treatments re-balance your scalp and support hair growth.
