Ways to Get a Healthy Scalp

The scalp is a delicate part of the hair which people seem to neglect. A slight change in your hair care regimen could affect the health of your scalp. You should be gentler when applying shampoo to your hair so as not to damage your scalp. 

Here are ways to get a healthy scalp
  • Eat More Antioxidants

Oxidative stress usually occurs when the number of damaging free radicals in the body is more than the number of beneficial antioxidants. Oxidative stress does not only lead to health conditions like diabetes, cancer and heart disease, it also affects the health of the scalp which in turn leads to hair loss

  • Try Omega-3 Supplement

Consumption of fish oil supplements help to promote hair growth and decrease hair loss. 

A study conducted in 2015 showed that women who were suffering from hair loss took fish oil supplements for a duration of 90 days and there was great improvement. 

Omega-3s and fish oils nourish the hair by stimulating circulation in the scalp. They also reduce the inflammation that could be associated with hair loss,” Umar says.

  • Use Gentle Hair Care Products

Although hair care is not just about the products because the hair grows from the inside but it’s important to be mindful of the hair care products you apply. Avoid using products that contain sulfate and alcohol. Sulfates get rid of the natural oils in your hair therefore making the scalp dry and prone to irritation.
