Scalp care tips!

Your basic hair care tips should always begin with scalp care because without the base of the scalp you will have no hair to care for. Most of the hair problems have their roots in scalp problems and thus it is important to find out how to solve them. Here are the most basic and essential scalp care tips that you must follow for beautiful problem free hair. 

• The dry flaky skin of the scalp is basically what we call dandruff. So you need to oil your scalp properly before you oil your hair. Rub warm coconut oil into your scalp and it will solve your dandruff scalp problems.

•          Your scalp skin has pores just like the skin on your body. You have to make sure that those pores are open before you oil your hair. Weak hair is often a manifestation of a scalp problem as the oil that you massage does not get absorbed into the roots. Wrap a hot towel (towel dipped in hot water and drained) and let it stay for 5 minutes before you oil your hair.

•          When washing your hair, you have to scrub your scalp clear first because the oil and the grime accumulate here. If your scalp remains unclean then hair gets oil in a day and if you have itchy hair then the dandruff too returns quickly after a hair wash.

• If you have hair odor then it is probably due to smelly scalp. There is something called a smelly scalp syndrome, this is actually a fungal infection of the scalp. It happens either because you are not using the right kind of towels and pillow covers or you pick it up from a person with whom you have close physical contact. You need a medicated anti-microbial shampoo for its treatment and also start using good quality new towels and pillow covers.
