Healthy hair starts at the scalp
Your scalp is skin too. Treat it that way.
Flaking, itching and oiliness are usually scalp issues, not hair issues. Mild dandruff is very common and often linked to a yeast that lives on everyone's skin.
Wash as often as your scalp needs, not your hair. Oily scalps may need daily washing; drier ones can go longer. Massage shampoo into the scalp and let the rinse clean the lengths.
Sudden or patchy hair loss, or shedding that lasts more than a few months, is worth a visit to a dermatologist. Low iron and thyroid changes are common, treatable causes.
Try this
- Focus shampoo on the scalp, conditioner on the ends.
- Try an anti-dandruff shampoo twice a week if flakes appear.
- Protect your scalp from the sun with a hat in summer.
