2 Scalp Care Tips to Treat Hair Loss

It only makes sense that because hair grows out of your scalp, nurturing your scalp is an essential part of hair care. The scalp must be nurtured to create a hair-growing environment. On the other hand, you would be surprised how many hair treatment experts miss that point.

So-called experts will advise you to saturate your scalp in harsh chemicals hoping to somehow fertilize the hair follicle. Instead, they increase the existing toxins in your hair follicles which were causing the problem in the first place. They also damage the scalp, causing swelling and restricting hair growth. Instead of chemical solutions, the best hair loss treatments focus on improving scalp health naturally and soothingly.

A healthy scalp means having healthy hair follicles that are capable of growing hair. If you want a healthy scalp, here are tips to get you started:

1. Find a Balance between a Clean and Too-Clean Scalp

Cleaning the scalp is an important part of the treatment for hair loss. It strips away the excess oil which contains the damaging toxins. It also removes germs which deteriorate the follicle’s overall health.

You should clean your hair regularly. Nevertheless, cleaning too frequently will wash away too much of your skin’s conditioning oils and cause excessive drying. When this occurs, tiny dead skin cells will cover your scalp and clog the hair follicle. This restricts growth and limits the effectiveness of other scalp treatments.

You’re the only one familiar with your scalp’s sensitivity. You know how oily your hair gets and how long you can comfortably leave on scalp treatments. It’s important you find a healthy balance which keeps your scalp clean but doesn’t over-dry the skin.

2. Increase Room Humidity at Night

This is actually a very popular treatment for other skin issues like psoriasis and eczema. Those patients know that a warm, moist environment promotes healing within the skin. Your scalp will respond the same way.

In your bedroom, the easiest way to create a moist healing environment is by buying a warm-heat humidifier. This won’t only increase the moisture in your bedroom’s air, but will raise the temperature. This should create a ‘growing atmosphere’ which will help restore and revitalize your scalp.
