Scalp Care and home remedy

Lately, I have been having some challenges with my skin. My scalp is reddish with spots and often flake. Upon reading more and seeking advices from friends, some factors to look into is to provide proper health to your scalp, something which I have neglected. Some quick points to look after

1. Always swap between two shampoos that suits your needs. This is to prevent the scalp from accustoming to a particular shampoo. Combination of the few will help throw a perfect balance into the scalp. For me, I am going to start using a PH balance shampoo to restore my scalp's PH and alternate between a milder dandruff control shampoo. 

2. Never ever massage the conditioner directly on to the scalp. A mistake I regret thinking that it helps smoothen the hair. I shall now only massage with luke warm water after the shampooing and conditioning. 

3. Reduce harsh treatment, coloring, texturing, applying hair products with peroxide or alcohol content items. Do note that hair stylist and scalp therapist is important to give you the good advices, since they are often your eyes - but differentiate them with sincere professional feedbacks as vis with making money by selling.

4. Refrain from using direct hair-drying technique. Best method to dry the hair is with towel, by dabbing and reading a book under the breezy fain. Let the scalp breath they say, the natural way.

5. Practice a one-day per week without chemical application on the hair. I use Sunday for these. Casual and chemical-free. This should include shampooing too. Unless if you go on an exercise regime and had expose your hair/scalp to dirty conditions. Then, ya ... it's like fasting. I heard lime with warm water helps, but ain't sure of the effect.

6. Change your pillow cover. You spend almost 6-8 hours of sleep, having the scalp rest on the pillow. If you have oily or even dry scalp, imagine the space and also body heat that ones disperse on the pillow. Should you sweat and wet the pillow, a change is highly recommended. Use an anti-bacterial care spray for extra protection

7. Vitamin E oils, lavender oils and olive oil can be alternative home remedy for moist but vary on skin conditions. Ensure that you read and research before starting on a regime. Consider grease, scalp conditions, allergies as well as lifestyle before you apply. You do not want to be donning a suit and tie smelling like a lavender farm in a business meeting

Some quick ideas for those who like to care for their scalp. Should itch and pain occurs on scalp, consult a skin specialist to avoid worsening conditions. Cheers
