If you also want long and quiet hair, then start with your scalp. The truth is that healthy hair is associated with a healthier scalp more than we realize.
In fact, one of the crucial elements of a healthy scalp is to be free of dirt, oils and debris or the accumulation of products that clog the pockets. However, if you do not exfoliate regularly, you may notice that your hair does not have the shine and volume you want, while it takes longer to grow longer.
Make a new (and clean start)
You need to start with a clean scalp. The scalp is skin, and just like the skin on the face and body, it requires regular exfoliation. But when the scalp carries an accumulation of dead skin cells, accumulated products, dirt, grime and oil, it can make the hair, from root to tip, look dull and flat. In addition, a scalp that is not often exfoliated can make the hair color look dull. In this context, regular exfoliation of the scalp is necessary, because it removes excess sebum and the accumulation of products, so as not to clog the pores. In particular, exfoliation keeps the scalp fresh and clean, allowing the hair follicles to grow healthier, thicker and shinier hair.
Also, regular exfoliation decongests the tissues to create the right environment for the formation of hair fibers. By performing a similar direct facial exfoliation, the exfoliation on the scalp focuses on the hair follicles. Essentially, it thoroughly cleanses the area, restoring the health of the scalp.
Why exfoliation of the scalp is necessary
The most common causes of clogged pockets are improper cleaning and accumulation of dry shampoo and styling products such as nail polish, mousse and gel. Although styling products, such as dry shampoo, need to be sprayed on the scalp and roots and then combed, most users spray them and leave them there. Thus, they destroy the purpose of the product. In addition, improper use of styling products creates product accumulation, clogging the hair follicles.
A good tactic is to think about scalp care as well as face and body skin care.
Removing this mixture of dead skin cells, product accumulation, pollution and environmental damage paves the way for the follicles to receive nutrients that are essential for hair health. Regardless of the location, all the skin in the body naturally eliminates dead cells and regenerates regularly.
A healthy scalp regenerates every 27 to 30 days, while an unhealthy scalp can regenerate these cells faster or slower, causing a number of abnormalities. The idea is to extend the hair growth phase by constantly nourishing the scalp. The vitamins and minerals that are necessary for the “ignition” of the cell turnover create the environment for optimal hair growth.
Often, we start taking care of the scalp properly when there is an side effect such as extreme itching, dandruff, dry, dull hair or a change in hair growth. Unfortunately, when the scalp is last on our care list, it can quickly become a source of serious problems that take time to clear up completely.
Also, a healthy diet, exercise, drinking plenty of water and using products that help nourish the hair help. At the same time, avoid harsh chemicals, hairstyles that pull the hair follicle (extensions and tight braids) and extreme thermal styling as much as possible. And remember that even the smallest changes in your haircare routine can make a difference.
How often should you exfoliate?
Since no scalp is exactly the same, you need to consider your hair type, your current scalp condition and your lifestyle. A healthy, normal scalp needs exfoliation 1-2 times a month. Those who often use styling products and dry shampoos are good to exfoliate on a weekly basis. Finally, those who suffer from dandruff, dermatitis, psoriasis or other medical conditions of the scalp, it is better to consult their doctor before changing their hair care routine.
