A good hair day plays a key role in making you feel confident. But just taking care of your hair is not enough. One must start at the base and work towards a healthy and thriving scalp to get the mane we all desire.

When it comes to scalp care, for the most part, less is more. What that means is that, outside of trying to correct a specific issue, your scalp already does a pretty great job of regulating itself. However, certain internal or environmental factors, or even product build-up, can interfere with your scalp’s health. Consider these points to maintain a healthy scalp…

CLEANSE YOUR SCALP REGULARLY

The amount of dirt that our scalp is exposed to, paired with hair products and the oil secreted – sebum – is one of the leading causes of scalp issues. When left unclean for a long time, this build-up will clog the follicles, which will obstruct the growth of healthy hair. In the worst-case scenario, it can cause flakiness, itching, or even scalp infections. That is why it is advisable to cleanse your scalp, ideally once or twice a month. Try not to overwash it, however, because that will strip away the natural oils and proteins.
