Is unhealthy scalp root cause behind all you hair problems?

by Ayush Varma

Though often neglected, the scalp is more than just the place where your hair follicles lie; it's also the foundation from which your hair grows. In other words, if your scalp isn't in good shape, your strands won't be either, which is why taking care of it isn't just a good idea—it's a must.


What does an unhealthy scalp look like?

When it comes to scalp care, the first thing to consider is the actual state of your scalp. To achieve a healthy head of hair, the hair follicles must be kept clean, clear, and well- maintained. If you find that your hair is falling out, your scalp is tight and itchy, your hair texture has changed, or your flakiness is out of control, consider it a sign that your scalp is unhealthy and in need of a little extra care.

What to do about it?

The key to achieving a healthy scalp starts by finding the right shampoo and conditioner for your needs. Unlike the generic drugstore brands, our sulfate- and paraben-free products are all individually formulated to work for your specific hair care needs, which means you'll not only be able to solve for all of your hair goals, but you'll also see better results because your products were designed for you and no one else. To help further reduce buildup, try implementing a scalp scrub or exfoliant into your hair care routine once or twice a week. Finally, whatever your hair concerns may be, there's no doubt that an improvement in your daily eating habits could significantly improve your overall hair health. A diet rich in fatty omega-3s, zinc, and iron have been proven to help improve the look and texture of your hair, while also increasing your scalp's moisture levels.
