Introduction
Throughout my time in the aesthetics field, I have met many clients. Each one has unique hair and scalp needs. My training in Health Science (Aesthetics) helps me understand these needs well. I’ve learned that good hair and scalp health is about more than products. It’s about your lifestyle, what you eat, and how you care for your hair.
Award-Winning Scalp Care: 7 Must-Knows for Healthy Hair
In this article, I’ll share seven key tips for better hair and scalp health.
These tips come from science, my own observations, and client feedback. They’re easy to follow, no matter your hair type. You’ll learn about the importance of a balanced diet, the right hair care products, and daily habits that help. These tips will guide you to healthier, more lively hair and scalp.
In a survey of Singaporean men with androgenetic alopecia, 70% reported feeling self-conscious about their hair loss, based on a study compiled by Wellaholic.
1. Always Remember to Exfoliate
Exfoliating the scalp is vital for skin cell turnover. I recommend doing it often. For those with psoriasis or dry skin, try it two to three times a week. This process removes dead skin cells. Using a facial scrub before shampooing can help with this.
Hannah Gaboardi, a trichologist, notes that scalp health affects hair growth. Issues like dandruff and psoriasis can cause hair breakage. They might even lead to early hair loss. So, taking care of your scalp is key for healthy hair.
2. Maintain the Moisture Level
I often see clients with dry scalp issues. Skin dehydration is a significant contributing factor. To help, avoid hot water in showers. Use lukewarm water instead. It keeps the scalp’s natural oils. These oils keep your scalp moist. Also, try not using a hair dryer. Letting your hair air dry can help. It gives your scalp a rest from heat.
“Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp – love your hair, love your scalp!”
3. Massage your Scalp
From my experience in aesthetics, I can say massaging your scalp is important. Your scalp has many blood vessels. They bring oxygen and nutrients to your scalp’s tissues. Massaging keeps the blood flowing. This helps keep your scalp healthy. How do you do it? Spend 10 minutes gently moving your fingers in circles on your scalp. This is a simple way to massage it.
4. Limit the use of Chemical Treatments
In my years in the aesthetics industry, I’ve seen how chemical treatments can affect hair and scalp health. Perms, straightening, or coloring can make your hair look good. But, the chemicals in them can harm your scalp. If you want these treatments, always go to a professional. They know how to reduce harm to your scalp. Also, listen to their advice on how often to get touch-ups.
If you feel itching or burning, tell your stylist right away. Stop the treatment. Anabel Kingsley, a top trichologist at Philip Kingsley, says your scalp is living tissue. It supports your hair follicles and the hair that grows from them. So, anything that hurts your scalp can harm your hair’s health too.
5. Protect Your Scalp from Sun Damage
As an Aesthetic Director, I have seen many hair treatment cases. I know perms, straightening, or coloring can make your hair look good. But, these treatments have chemicals. They can hurt your scalp and damage your hair. If you still want to use them, please see a professional. They know how to keep your scalp safe. Listen to them about when to get touch-ups. If your scalp feels bad, like itching or burning, tell your stylist fast. Stop the treatment right away. This is important for your hair and scalp health.
6. Shampoo Daily
You might wash your hair every day. This is good. But if you have scalp issues, you might not do this daily. It’s key to clean your scalp well. Yet, the shampoo you choose matters too. Pick one that’s gentle for your scalp.
Trichologist Isfahan Chambers-Harris says causes of dry scalp vary. They include skin issues like eczema, changes in hormones, the weather, and even your shampoo amount. These can cause dryness and irritation.
7. Maintain a Healthy Diet
As an Aesthetic Director, I often advise on hair health. A balanced diet rich in fruits and veggies is key. These foods give your scalp what it needs to stay healthy. Sometimes, you might need extra vitamins.
Vitamin A is important for all growing cells, including hair. It helps skin glands create sebum. This keeps your scalp moist and your hair in good shape. Biotin, a B-vitamin, is also vital. It’s linked to hair growth. If you lack biotin, you might lose hair. Biotin supplements can help, especially if you’re low on it.

Healthy hair and scalp care is simple. You should use the right products for your hair. Avoid too much heat when styling. These tips help keep your hair strong and shiny. A healthy scalp is key for beautiful hair.
