From regular cleansing with a scalp compatible shampoo, sun protection methods like covering head with scarves to religiously massaging are a few steps that can give you a healthy scalp, say experts.
Melissa Hughe, Education Head at K?rastase, doles out some tips:
*Regular cleansing with a scalp compatible shampoo like oily scalp shampoo or sensitive scalp shampoo is a must to counter the excessive oil, sweat and dirt build up in the summer.
*A soothing, refreshing scalp masque to keep the scalp balanced (hydrated or soothed) and deodorized is another must do.
*Keep the scalp clean and dry to avoid scalp irritations.
*Wear a scarf or sun hat when exposed to direct sunlight.
- A specific scalp treatment or ritual to counter any concerns is recommended once in 15 days to a month (depending on intensity of concern).
-
Drink lots of fluids to keep the skin and scalp hydrated
-
A scalp detox or scalp deep cleansing once in 15 days will keep scalp concerns at bay.
-
Keep your hair deep conditioned, hydrated and frizz free with the right products
