Exfoliation of the scalp helps to boost the skin cell turnover. If you can, exfoliate your scalp on a regular basis. In fact, if you suffer from conditions such as psoriasis or dry skin, you might want to exfoliate your scalp about two to three times a week. Exfoliation helps to remove and reduce dead skin cells from your scalp surface. To assist with the exfoliation, you can invest in a facial scrub and mechanically exfoliate your scalp before you apply and cleanse the area with a shampoo.
Trichologist Hannah Gaboardi emphasizes that the health of your scalp directly affects how healthy your hair grows. Scalp issues such as dandruff and psoriasis are linked to hair breakage, and poor scalp health can also lead to premature hair loss.
2. Maintain the Moisture Level
Most of the common scalp problems are the result of dry skin at the scalp. This is exaggerated by dehydrated tissue. when you are showering, try to avoid proposing or scope to hot water when you can. Instead, try to use lukewarm water to rinse your hair, which allows more of the natural sebum necessary for moisturising that issue to remain on your scalp. If you are able to, try to skip using the hair dryer and allow your hair to naturally dry. By air drying your hair, you will allow your scalp to take a break from the drying heat of the hair dryer.
