Healthy hair begins with a healthy scalp. It is important to give your scalp just as much love as you give the skin on the rest of your body. Remember, the scalp is where hair follicles live and where hair growth begins. Think of it like any other ecosystem, the first step to strong growth is a healthy environment! Although taking care of your scalp can be time consuming, you’ll notice shinier, healthier, and faster hair growth when doing so.
What does a healthy scalp look like?
A healthy scalp will appear clean and is free of flakes, dandruff, irritation, redness, and dryness. If you are experiencing itchiness or irritation, these might be signs of an unhealthy scalp.
A good place to start if you’re struggling with an unhealthy scalp, is to look at what shampoo you’re using. Look for a shampoo with natural ingredients, and be aware of the types of sulfates that are in your shampoos.
