5 ways to keep your scalp healthy and clean 

The health of your scalp plays a vital role in promoting healthy hair growth. Here are five ways to care for your scalp and keep it healthy and clean. 

Use a scalp scrub 

Use a scalp scrub to help exfoliate the skin on your head. It is essential to scrub your scalp to help remove excess skin cells, oil, and dandruff.

Massage your scalp

Massaging your scalp helps increase circulation and provides vital nutrients to the hair follicles. It also stimulates the hair follicles and boosts growth. You can massage your scalp with natural oils such as coconut and olive oil.

Avoid overwashing 

While washing your head is essential to keep your scalp clean, avoid overdoing it. Washing too often can strip off the natural oils in your scalp, which help moisturise your hair.

Eat probiotic-rich foods 

Eat foods rich in probiotics, such as yoghurt and cheese, to help boost scalp health. 

Limit heat treatment 

Limit the use of heating tools on your hair, as the heat can damage your scalp and make it prone to dryness and itchiness.
