Yes! It depends on if you have more an oily or dry scalp, but there are many treatments such as coconut oil, vitamin e, and scalp treatments. Finding the right shampoo/conditioner fornyour hair type that doesn’t have harsh chemicals or a lot of alcohol will help tremendously with scalp health, as well as not washing your hair every day. Washing every other day, or every two days, can let natural oils called sebum do their job and will help stabilize a better ph balance.

Make sure you use a certain oil or something if you have a dry scalp. It helps get rid of all of the dry skin. Also make sure you put conditioner near your scalp as well.

-Use gentle hair care products. Avoiding products that contain sulfates, alcohols, or fragrances may help improve your scalp health. -Shampoo gently. -Wash less often. -Try an omega-3 supplement. -Eat more antioxidants. -Try probiotics. -Use a scalp scrub. (taken from google)

Hair masks and serums. You also shouldn’t wash every day as it’s too harsh. Gentle shampoos. Tea Tree oil is good for calming the scalp. I use a tea tree oil shampoo.

Well first apply hair oil and wait overnight , then in the following day wash your hair with the shampoo you usually use and then apply conditioner. After this dry your hair and massage your scalp with some aromatic hair oil. This method works for me .

Other than using scalp shampoo (may I recommend the body shop’s ginger range) you can also eat oil for your scalp which you massage in

Depends on if you have a problem with it or not. If you’re just interested in self-care, products in beauty shops like masks and conditioners will work fine. They’ll make you feel and smell nice. If you have actual issues like dandruff, you might want to check in with a GP and get a prescription for medical shampoo or an ointment etc.

Yes, first you put clarins hair serum (2-4 drops) and rub it through your scalp. Then Washburn’s our to in hair 2 times with shampoo and use the conditioners 1 time

There are specials lotions meant for the scalp, many containing quinine and castor oil, to stimulate hair growth. Their effect are enhanced by massaging the scalp, which will promote better blood circulation and nourishment of the hair follicles. I make my own scalp lotions, using fresh herbal infusions and a touch of rum. A few drops of essential oils like rosemary, mint, and ylang-ylang are a said to be beneficial. You can also use scalp masks of warmed oils like olive, coconut, jojoba, camellia, argan, with added castor and vitamin E. Massage them weekly into your scalp for at least one hour (ideally overnight) if your hair is dry, and shampoo them off.
