Keep Your Scalp Clean and Balanced
Your scalp naturally produces oil (sebum) that protects and nourishes your hair from root to tip. But too much oil, combined with product build-up, can clog follicles and lead to dull, heavy hair. On the other hand, over-washing or using harsh shampoos can strip away essential oils, leaving your scalp dry and itchy. Here are our top tips at Natural Hair Company to keep your scalp clean and comfortable:
*Wash with a gentle, sulphate-free shampoo suited to your scalp type. Ask our experts at Natural Hair Salon for tips on the best shampoos to use for your hair type.
*Avoid washing with very hot water, which can cause irritation and dryness (not to mention strip coloured hair of its vibrancy!).
*Exfoliate once a week with a scalp scrub or brush to remove product build-up and stimulate circulation.
Hydrate and Nourish
Just like your skin, your scalp needs hydration and nutrients to stay healthy. If your scalp feels tight, itchy, or flaky, it could be dehydrated. But don't worry, here are some easy hair care tips for a happier scalp in no time at all:
*Massage nourishing oils (like jojoba or argan) into the scalp before washing to restore moisture.
*Use hydrating hair masks that are safe for the scalp. Ask your Natural Hair Company stylist for recommendations on the best mask for your hair type.
*Drink enough water and maintain a nutrient-rich diet with vitamins such as biotin, zinc, and omega-3s to support hair health A well-nourished scalp encourages stronger, shinier hair growth.
Don't Skip Trims and Treatments
Sometimes, home care isn’t enough — especially if you’re struggling with dryness, oiliness, or irritation. Professional salon treatments can deeply cleanse, hydrate, and rebalance the scalp, giving your hair the perfect foundation to thrive. A conditioning or scalp-focused treatment at Natural Hair not only relieves discomfort but also promotes healthier, more resilient hair over time. Pair this with regular trims and a tailored home routine to ensure your scalp (and hair) stay in peak condition all year round.
