Tips for a healthier scalp.

Hi! It's great that you want to learn more about caring for your scalp.

It's so much easier than people think.

Most people spend time looking after their hair (I'm a hairdresser so this makes me happy) but that means the scalp is usually completely forgotten about. Your scalp is skin, and just like the skin on your face or body, it benefits from cleansing, nourishment and care.

So lets break it down simply...

Scalp care matters because over time, oil, sweat, dead skin cells, and hair products can leave a build up on the scalp. When this build up sits on the scalp for too long, it can leave it feeling:

  • Oily
  • Dry
  • Itchy
  • Flaky
  • Irritated

Regular scalp care helps keep the scalp feeling fresher, cleaner, and more balanced.

Benefits of scalp oiling...

Scalp oils can help soften build up before washing. while helping both the scalp and hair feel nourished.

Many people find scalp oiling helps:

  • Reduce dryness and tightness
  • Soften build up
  • Improve scalp comfort
  • Add softness and shine to hair

Scalp massaging and why it helps...

Gentle scalp massage helps stimulate circulation and can leave the scalp feeling refreshed and relaxed. It may also help:

  • Relax scalp tension
  • Distribute natural oils
  • Support a healthier scalp environment
  • Stimulates blood flow to the scalp
  • Delivers oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicles

Even just a couple of minutes of massage can make a huge difference.

Choose a gentle shampoo...

Using a gentle shampoo can help as they are less stripping and and won't leave your scalp feeling as dry

Some people find that harsh shampoos or heavy fragranced products can leave the scalp feeling irritated or unbalanced, especially with frequent washing.

Look for shampoos designed to support scalp health and avoid ones that contain overly harsh sulfates, heavy artificial fragrance and silicones. 

Exfoliating weekly...

  • Removes dead skin cells
  • Fresh and clean feeling
  • More balanced and comfortable
  • Loosens build up before washing

The key with scalp exfoliation is to be gentle when massaging it into the scalp and only do it once a week 

A simple scalp care routine anyone can start...

Step 1: 'Apply a scalp oil

Apply a small amount directly onto the scalp and leave for 20 minutes (you can add a little oil to your hair lengths too

Step 2: Massage

Gently massage the scalp for 2-3 minutes to help distribute the oil and relax tension

Step 3: Shampoo and condition

Wash twice with a gentle shampoo and then condition your hair as usual.
