If you want healthy hair, you need a healthy scalp. More specifically, a clean scalp. Whether you're trying to grow your hair, regulate oil production, or get rid of flakiness, board-certified trichologist Aga Tompkins says it all starts with a squeaky clean scalp.
"Hair growth begins at the follicle, so scalp health directly impacts hair length, strength, and density" explains Aga.
"When follicles are inflamed, clogged, or undernourished, hair can become weaker, shed more easily, or grow more slowly." The solution involves, "Gentle cleansing, targeted scalp treatments, and avoiding harsh or stripping formulas can help restore balance," advises Aga.
To remove excess oil and product buildup, opt for detoxifying and exfoliating products, like a scalp scrub or clarifying shampoo to clear clogged follicles. If you're dealing with an itchy, flaky scalp, a hydrating shampoo and conditioner or a targeted hair oil will help give your scalp a much-needed boost of moisture and calm irritation.
