Happy Scalp, Happy Hair

We all know how important it is to keep our skin healthy and happy. After all, the skin is the largest organ of the body. But have you considered the health of your scalp? Like the skin on your face and the rest of your body, the scalp needs attention, too.

Scalp health is directly related to hair health, as a healthy scalp supports healthy hair. Blood vessels on the scalp feed hair follicles the vital nutrients they need to promote growth and strength, while the many sebaceous glands on the scalp produce sebum that helps to keep hair nourished. When your scalp’s microbiome becomes imbalanced, you may notice issues such as dryness, itchiness, oiliness, tightness, and even shedding and hair loss. Fortunately, there are steps and products you can use to ensure you maintain a healthy scalp and overall hair health. These are just a few of our favorites.

Mayraki Professional Camellia Sinensis Tea Leaf Probiotic Sea Salt Scalp Scrub

Like the rest of our skin, the scalp naturally sheds dead skin cells. Some might find that they notice an excessive amount of buildup of dead skin cells. This, coupled with buildup from sebum and products, can lead to discomfort and hair loss from clogged hair follicles. Gentle exfoliation can help to remove buildup and promote a healthy scalp by stimulating blood circulation. Mayraki’s sea salt scalp scrub uses a mild formula to effectively reduce oily scalp, eliminate dandruff, and support the natural process of hair growth. It also strengthens and volumizes hair and smells amazing.

Acure Buildup Balancing Hemp & ACV Shampoo

Keeping the scalp free from buildup is huge in maintaining a healthy and balanced scalp. Acure’s Buildup Balancing Hemp & ACV Shampoo is gentle and fragrance-free, making it perfect for overworked hair and sensitive scalps. Apple cider vinegar offers gentle clarifying, while hemp

seed oil works to replenish moisture. Pair the shampoo with the matching conditioner to keep the ph of your scalp nice and balanced.

Curlsmith Hydro Crème Soothing Mask

Like your hair, your scalp can dry out, too. This soothing deep conditioning treatment delivers moisture to your scalp and hair without weighing it down. Enriched with Hyaluronic acid, the Hydro Crème Soothing Mask has a light yet buttery texture that melts onto every strand. Despite the brand name, this mask is suitable for curly and straight hair.

dpHUE ACV Daily Scalp Serum

Nourish and soothe your scalp with a scalp serum. dpHue’s ACV Daily Scalp Serum is a lightweight, oilfree blend that nourishes and hydrates the scalp as it helps calm irritation, dryness, and imbalance without making your hair greasy. It also helps to protect against hair shedding and promotes healthy hair growth.

Briogeo Hair Care Scalp Revival Charcoal + Biotin Dry Shampoo

Dry shampoo is great for extending the time between washes and cutting down on a morning routine, but it doesn’t actually wash your hair or scalp, and overuse can lead to buildup and can weigh down thinner hair. Briogeo’s Charcoal + Biotin Dry Shampoo was created with all this in mind. This dry shampoo cleanses and refreshes hair, detoxifies and draws out impurities from the scalp, normalizes oil production to provide a long-term fix for oil scalp, and provides essential nutrients to the hair follicle to support healthy hair growth. While we still wouldn’t recommend overusing dry shampoo, this one is our top pick for maintaining a healthy scalp while enjoying the convenience dry shampoo gives.

Vegamour GRO Revitalizing Scalp Massager

A scalp massage doesn’t just feel good, it also does good for your scalp and hair. The silicone bristles on this scalp massager help to stimulate the scalp and boost scalp health by promoting circulation. The bristles also help to remove excess oils and the buildup of old skin cells and products that can lead to a dry, itchy, and flaky scalp. The massager can be used on either dry or wet hair and is great for giving your scalp an exhilarating massage while also helping to evenly disperse product throughout the scalp.
