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 aggressions such as pollution, UV rays, and aggressive hair products.

Once or twice a week, opt for a soft, coarse-grained scrub (more and more of them are available 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 , remove dead skin and simply refresh this somewhat neglected area.

Massage your scalp

Massage your scalp regularly while shampooing or applying a hair mask. This stimulates blood circulation under the scalp and promotes the penetration of moisturizing agents into the skin. Massaging your scalp dry also helps to diffuse good sebum and naturally nourish the hair.

Drink water

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

Avoid excessive heat sources

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