Therefore, proper scalp skin care is the first step for you to get shiny, floating hair.Cherish this skin like the way you still do it with your face!
Why should you take care of your scalp?
In the latest post on his Instagram, the famous Indian dermatologist, Dr. Kiran Sethi shared useful information related to this issue.According to her, because the scalp is one of the thickest skin areas on our bodies, the most important thing is to take care of it from the outside.Dandruff, folliculitis (swelling), dry skin, scalp rash and hair loss can occur if you take care of the scalp bad.
How to take care of the head skin
Always remember that the health of the scalp will determine the health of the hair.Unsecious scalp can lead to a range of problems, including early hair loss due to weakened hair follicles.
Shampoo properly
Shampooing is a minimum scalp skin care step but not everyone is done correctly.There are people who spend enough time to clean hair or manipulate too hard to hurt the scalp.
Do not use products that contain sulfate, alcohol or perfume as they can lose the natural oils on the hair and remove dead skin cells, making the scalp dry and irritated.
At the same time, you should also combine with massage when shampooing to gently clean, promote blood circulation under the skin to help cells quickly produce, healthy hair growth.In addition, you should choose shampoo containing Zinc Pyrithone, the active ingredient repel mushrooms developing on the scalp.Most dandruff shampoos now contain this ingredient.
Do not wash your hair too often.When you shampoo daily, the oil glands on the scalp will produce more oil to compensate for the amount of oil lost when shampooing.In fact, even if your hair is more greasy, the hair is still dry.By shampooing too much, you accidentally sent signals to the oil glands on the scalp that stopwinging oil.
Moisturize the scalp
The scalp also needs to be moisturized as a face.Using shampoo often makes our scalp lose moisture.
Currently, it is difficult to find a conditioner without clogging pores.Therefore, you should look to natural oils such as coconut oil, almond oil, olive oil ... to moisturize the scalp.Use the oil to compost from the root to the top and apply to the skin, repeat about 2-3 times per week, each incubation for 30 minutes.This method helps to provide nutrients for both your hair and scalp.
Exfoliate for scalp
Like every skin on the body, the scalp also produces dead skin.We often solve this problem by scratching your fingers when shampooing.Although the scalp will feel clean, long -term can make the skin drier and hard scales.
Dr. Sethi shared that you can add a few spoons of sugar to shampoo or natural oil.Then, you use this mixture to exfoliate on the scalp, similar to the way you exfoliate the body.
