Scalp Care Routine for Better Hair Growth
The Scalp Is Skin Too
Your scalp is an extension of your facial skin, yet most people neglect it. A healthy scalp environment is essential for strong, growing hair. Think of it as soil quality for plant growth.
Weekly Scalp Exfoliation
Buildup of dead skin cells, product residue, and sebum clogs hair follicles. Use a scalp scrub or salicylic acid treatment once weekly to clear the follicular openings.
Scalp Massage Benefits
Research shows 4 minutes of daily scalp massage increases hair thickness after 24 weeks. Use fingertips (not nails) in circular motions with moderate pressure.
Key Ingredients
- Rosemary oil: Studies show it matches minoxidil 2% for hair growth
- Tea tree oil: Antifungal properties fight dandruff-causing Malassezia
- Peppermint oil: Increases blood flow to follicles (dilute properly)
- Niacinamide: Reduces scalp inflammation and improves barrier
What to Avoid
Dry shampoo overuse clogs follicles. Limit to 2 times per week maximum. Always cleanse properly after heavy product use.
