Introduction

Your scalp is well hidden by your hair, and because of that, the scalp is a part of the body which is often neglected. Like the skin on the rest of your body, your scalp is made up of layers of tissue. The lower layers of the scalp are often the newest and healthiest skin which is produced by your body. On the other hand, the outer layers of your scalp generally comprise of dead tissue and cells that are ready to be turned over by the body and shedded to reveal the newer layers of the skin. In order to take care of your scalp, the Wellaholic Team share 7 essential tips to maintain a healthy scalp and to eradicate scalp-related issues such as dandruff. 

In a survey of Singaporean men with androgenetic alopecia, 70% reported feeling self-conscious about their hair loss, based on a study compiled by Wellaholic.

1. Always Remember to Exfoliate

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. 

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. 

“Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp – love your hair, love your scalp!”

3. Massage your Scalp

 ​​It pays to massage your scalp on a regular basis. Beneath the skin on your scalp is an intricate network of blood vessels. This blood vessels carry oxygen and nutrients to the tissues surrounding your scalp. My keeping the circulation going in a scope with massages, you are able to maintain a healthy scalp.  How can you massage your scalp? You can spend about 10 minutes or so by using gentle circular motions on your scalp as a massage.   

4. Limit the use of Chemical Treatments

​​Avoid chemical treatments at all costs. While a great perm, straightening or hair colouring treatment can help improve the look of your hair, the chemicals used in this treatments will actually irritate your scalp and caused some damage. If you have to use chemical treatments, always engage a professional to limit the amount of damage it can do to your scalp.

You might belong to the group that washes their hair once a day. This is very ideal. However, if you suffer from some scalp problems, you might not be able to wash your hair on a daily basis. While cleaning your scalp is an important part of hair and scalp care, the type of shampoo you use is also important. Always research and invest in a shampoo that is not too harsh for your scalp.  

7. Maintain a Healthy Diet

If necessary, augment your daily diet with health supplements such as vitamins that can also help keep your hair healthy. All cells need vitamin A for growth.
