We love styling our hair and looking beautiful for ourselves, our spouse, or an occasion. But what about our scalp care? If our scalp could talk, what would it say to us? Does it feel neglected? Is it healthy or flaky, itchy and dry? We must do better when it comes to our overall health, and our scalp is included. Our scalp is like the soil. If our soil is not fertile, then our plants – or hair in this case – won’t grow out flourishing.
Most times, we are in a rush when it comes to our hair and scalp, or we throw a little oil on our scalp once a week or sometimes we don’t put anything on it all. How do we expect to have a healthy scalp that we don’t feed?
It is inevitable that our scalp reacts to us directly. Scalp health is all about routine, so your diet, environment and water intake all are connected to the overall well-being of your scalp.
Here are things to add to your scalp routine:
- Eat more organic greens/fresh fruit.
- Drink plenty of water.
- Stay away from starch, which turns into sugar (This goes for sodas as well).
- Did I mention drink plenty water?
- Take the time out to massage your scalp and pay more attention to it, overall.
Scalp health is all about routine, so your diet, environment and water intake all are connected to the overall well-being of your scalp.
The right hair care products can also be beneficial for your scalp. Consider adding products like tea tree oil, olive oil and castor oil to your cabinets, and don’t forget your Crown Love Oil by The Scalp Nutritionist. When shopping for scalp care products, pay attention to the ingredients list and aim to stay away from products which contain alcohol and chemicals.
Giving your scalp and body the T.L.C. they need is a form of self-care that you deserve.
