5 hair care tips for healthy and clean scalp 

Keeping your scalp clean and healthy is essential to promote good hair health. Here are 5 hair care tips to achieve a healthy scalp.

Use gentle hair products

Avoid using hair care products containing sulfate as they can strip away your hair's natural oils. Use gentle, pH-balanced products to nourish the scalp. 

 Cleanse and massage your scalp

Massage your scalp thoroughly while shampooing as it helps stimulate blood circulation and cleans the scalp. 

Regularly brush your hair

Regularly brushing your hair is essential to help distribute your scalp's natural oils through your hair. It also helps detangle your hair and avoid buildup and breakage. 

 Consume diet rich in omega-3 

Include fish and nuts in your diet as they are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which are essential to fight against free radicals that can damage hair health.

Protect your hair from UV rays

The sun's harmful UV rays can damage your scalp and cause itching. Wear protective hair accessories and avoid overexposure to the sun.
