A flaky scalp can make you feel like a snake shedding off its scales.
It can be embarrassing when the top of your head is exposed.
And white flakes can be seen all over like a Christmas decoration!
Well, you don’t have to hide under hats anymore.
Here are 5 easy ways for you to shed off those flakes for good.
1. Avoid hot water
While a hot shower can be soothing, it can actually strip your scalp of its natural oils.
Which can lead to dryness and flakiness.
To maintain your scalp’s moisture balance, it’s best to use lukewarm water.
2. Exfoliate your Scalp
Just like how you exfoliate your skin to remove dead cells. . .
The same also applies to our scalp.
Here are 2 options you can use:
- A gentle scalp scrub
Scalp scrubs are specially formulated to remove buildup in your hair.
Which can improve scalp health and promote hair growth.
You can use the tips of your fingers to gently massage the scrub throughout your scalp.
Note: Don’t use your fingernails. It may feel tempting to relieve the itch of a flaky scalp.
But using your fingernails will only wound your scalp.
Which would eventually pile up with the already existing flakes.
- Exfoliating scalp brush
Exfoliating scalp brushes gently remove dead skin cells and buildup while detangling your hair.
3. Use a Gentle Shampoo
Harsh shampoos can further irritate a flaky scalp.
Check the shampoo you’re using if it contains any harsh ingredients.
Some harsh ingredients may be in the form of sulfates, parabens, and fragrances.
If your scalp is sensitive to these ingredients. . .
You may be better off using a sulfate-free shampoo.
4. Moisturise Mids to Ends Only
While it’s important to keep your hair hydrated and moisturised. . .
If you’re prone to flaky scalps,
Applying conditioner on the top of your head may make it worse.
It can clog up your hair follicles while sticking to your scalp.
And could even end up as more flakes.
Instead. . .
Focus on applying your conditioner to the mid-lengths to the ends of your hair.
This keeps your hair moisturised without being weighed down.
If you’re worried your scalp won’t look as moisturised as your length, try considering a hair iron that can give you a smooth finish all over.
Glampalm is a lab-tested hair iron that can give your hair a 96.7% increase in shine.
5. Explore Natural Remedies
Haircare products can have confusing ingredient lists.
Especially when looking for specific remedies for flaky scalps.
But, sometimes the solution to our problems is just under our noses.
Or even on our grocery lists.
Here are 2 natural remedies you can try:
- Aloe vera
Aloe vera has soothing properties that can relieve itchiness and flakiness.
