Taking care of your scalp is the new beauty routine you need to adopt urgently. To have beautiful, long, strong, and shiny hair, it's important to pamper your scalp! How can you moisturize and keep it healthy? Focus.

Let's face it, we (almost) don't think about taking care of our scalp. Once we've shampooed our hair, we tell ourselves that it's enough, that we're good to go for the next 2 or 4 days. At no point do we suspect that the scalp is the source of all our hair problems, but also our successes! Dry hair? Too fine? Brittle? Weak and slow to grow? It's probably because your scalp isn't well. To solve all this, you obviously have to get to the root of the problem.

Why does the scalp need to be moisturized?

To better understand, you should know that the scalp is the layer of skin that covers the skull and houses the hair follicles. Like any other part of the skin, the scalp needs to be hydrated to stay healthy and preserve the beauty and quality of the hair, but not only that! Scalp care, as it is also called, is necessary for:

Prevent dryness and itching. Lack of moisture can cause a dry, itchy scalp, which can be very uncomfortable over time. Moisturizing helps maintain skin suppleness and elasticity, preventing flaking, tightness, and dandruff!

Stimulate hair growth. Proper hydration promotes healthy hair growth by improving blood circulation and nourishing hair follicles.

Prevent hair breakage. Dry, brittle hair is more likely to break and split. Moisturizing helps strengthen hair by improving its elasticity and strength.

Maintain scalp balance. A well-hydrated scalp is better protected against external aggressors such as pollution, UV rays, and harsh hair products.

As you will have understood, it is important to regularly moisturize the scalp in order to preserve the beauty and health of the hair but also the overall well-being of our head! Vegetable oils, moisturizing hair masks, gentle and sulfate-free shampoos, and products containing hyaluronic acid are good products to add to your hair routine in order to effectively moisturize the scalp.

The best ways to take care of your scalp

Now you know that a moisturized scalp is a guarantee of beauty and well-being! However, you may be wondering how exactly to do it? It's simple: arm yourself with the right products and methods. To start, make sure you space out your shampoos as much as possible... We know the drill: washing your hair too frequently overactivates sebum production, dries out the scalp, and causes nasty itching. Sebum, when properly secreted, nourishes the scalp. It's important for healthy hair growth and maintaining the balance of the skin's microbiota for a healthy scalp.

Use the right moisturizing active ingredients

First, always opt for a gentle shampoo and choose hair care products that contain moisturizing ingredients such as: hyaluronic acid, glycerol, panthenol or vegetable oils. Avoid aggressive hair products that contain sulfates, silicones or alcohol, which can dry out the scalp. Think about hair serum , this care product is applied directly to the scalp to provide it with all the benefits necessary for its balance!

Make hair masks!

Regularly apply a moisturizing hair mask to your scalp and hair. Hair masks contain ingredients that penetrate deep into the hair to deeply nourish and hydrate it. For example, you can leave a mask with avocado and coconut oil, or pure aloe vera gel, on once or twice a week depending on the condition of your scalp.

Also do scrubs

We generally limit exfoliation to the body and face. However, the scalp, which is also made of skin, needs it! It is even essential to include it in your hair routine. How? Once or twice a week, opt for a soft, coarse-grained scrub (there are more and more of them on the market), and apply it to the scalp with small circular massages. Make sure to exfoliate the entire surface of the scalp, this will eliminate dead cells, stimulate blood circulation and therefore hair regrowth , loosen dead skin and simply refresh this somewhat neglected area.

Massage your scalp

Regularly massage your scalp while shampooing or applying a hair mask. This stimulates blood circulation under the scalp and helps moisturizers penetrate the skin. Massaging your scalp dry also helps distribute healthy sebum and naturally nourish your hair.

Drink water

Drink enough water to keep your body, including your scalp, well hydrated. As with all things, staying well hydrated from the inside out will help maintain the scalp's moisture balance.

Avoid excessive heat sources

Excessive exposure to heat can dry out the scalp and hair. Avoid using hot styling tools such as straighteners and hair dryers on high heat settings. Choose styling products that are gentle on hair.

By adopting these methods in your daily life, you ensure that your scalp is in good balance and that your hair is in beautiful shape!
