How to do scalp care?

Scalp care 1. Adjust bad eating habits

Squeezing or stimulating the sebaceous glands can also increase oil discharge, and poor living and eating habits can significantly stimulate the sebaceous glands. So, first of all, you need to improve your eating habits, do not smoke, drink, eat spicy food, sweat profusely.

Scalp care 2. Pay attention to pillow hygiene

The pillows used for daily sleep are not only covered with substances such as oil, sweat and other substances secreted by the head, but also breed mites and bacteria, causing head flora imbalance, causing inflammation, mites, acne and other skin problems, seriously endangering the health of the scalp.

Pillows should be replaced every 1 to 3 years, cleaned every 3 months, and down pillows, sponge pillows, etc. can be dried in the sun.

Scalp care 3. Sunscreen

Shade and sun protection are essential to slow down the aging of the scalp. Physical sun protection, sun hats, umbrellas and other physical sun protection. Chemical sunscreens, sunscreen hair care products with sunscreen effects.

Scalp care 4. Massage the head

Massage the scalp with a comb to unclog the veins in the head, stimulate blood circulation in the scalp, and promote detoxification of the scalp. When combing your hair, it is best to choose an anti-static horn comb or a wooden comb to prevent split ends caused by static electricity.

Scalp care 5. Choose the right shampoo

Choose a safe and effective shampoo and consider your scalp condition. If you have oily, sticky hair, you have an oily scalp. For oily scalps, you should opt for a refreshing oil-controlling shampoo. If the scalp is itchy and often feels tight, then the dry scalp should opt for a mild shampoo with moisturizing and nourishing properties. Also, avoid strong alkaline shampoos and wash your hair without soap (except shampoo soap). If the cleaning power is too strong, the protective system of the scalp itself can be easily damaged, causing scalp problems.

Dyeing and perming is becoming an option for more and more people. We are well aware that perming and dyeing can damage our hair, but we always ignore the effects on the scalp. Chemical creams, dyes, and high temperatures can irritate scalp cells and increase scalp problems, making it more likely to cause dryness, itching, and even inflammation. Even hair dyes advertised as "all-natural" ingredients, or even new perms that don't damage your hair, can affect the scalp. The only solution is to reduce the frequency of dyeing and perming, and perform professional scalp care after dyeing and perming.

Scalp care 7. Adequate sleep

Lack of sleep is also a cause of scalp aging. Poor sleep quality means you work all day without getting enough rest. This can also lead to problems such as scalp aging and redness. This is a warning, so make sure you have enough effective sleep time.
