You probably follow a rigorous skincare routine and pamper your tresses to regular hair spas, but what about your scalp? The scalp is where the hair grows; so it’s obvious that the key to strong and lustrous hair is a healthy scalp. Developing a scalp care routine and using products that are targeted for it will give you the hair of your dreams. But scalp care is more than just using a good shampoo and conditioner. Here’s how you can build the ultimate scalp care routine.
Hairstyling products such as mousse, spray, styling gel, and even shampoo and conditioner can cause product build-up on the scalp and clog your hair follicles leading to hair fall. Thus, it’s important to keep the scalp clean to boost hair growth.
Clarifying shampoo
One way to cleanse the scalp is by using a shampoo that’s formulated to remove product residue and sebum build-up. The Tresemme Botanique Detox & Restore Shampoo gets rid of impurities and stimulates the scalp, which encourages hair growth.
Scalp scrub
Just like you exfoliate your skin once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells, do the same for your scalp. Prepare a mixture of sugar and oil and use it as a scrub to deep cleanse and promote blood circulation in the scalp.
Massage the scalp
Apart from exfoliating the scalp and cleansing it thoroughly, it is also important to massage it at least once a week. Using your fingertips, gently massage warm coconut or olive oil into the scalp — this stimulates the scalp, strengthens hair at the roots and makes hair shiny and smooth.
Preserve moisture
While taking care of your skin, what do you usually do after exfoliating and massaging? You guessed it right – masking! Isn’t masking the ultimate skincare step? Your hair is no different; it loves masks as much as your skin does. So pick a mask depending on the needs of your hair. For example, if you have severely damaged hair, pick the TIGI Bed Head Urban Anti and Dotes Resurrection Treatment Mask that penetrates into the hair follicles and repairs hair.
Protect scalp from the sun
You wear sunscreen every day to protect your skin from the sun, but what do you do to protect your hair? The harmful rays of the sun can severely damage your tresses making them look frizzy, damaged and dull. Wear a scarf, hat or use an umbrella when you’re walking or standing outside in the sun.
