Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. If yours itches, flakes or feels tight, fix that before you buy another deep conditioner.
Weekly reset
Use a clarifying shampoo once a week, or a diluted apple cider vinegar rinse, to remove product residue and dead skin.
Massage daily
Two minutes of fingertip massage each evening increases blood flow. Keep nails off the scalp, because scratches invite infection.
Moisturise the scalp too
A few drops of jojoba or grapeseed oil along the part line keeps the skin comfortable without clogging follicles.
See a dermatologist if flaking persists past four weeks, spreads, or comes with pain.
