Scalp Health Is Self-Care: Build a Regimen That Supports Growth

Your scalp is skin too, and it needs just as much love. When your scalp is clean, balanced, and stimulated, your follicles can thrive—and your hair can grow in stronger, healthier, and fuller.

If you’re dealing with slow growth, dryness, flakes, or irritation, don’t just reach for lengthening oils—start with a healthy scalp regimen.

4-Step Weekly Scalp Regimen

1. Detox once a week

Use a warm oil blend featuring peppermint, tea tree, or rosemary. These oils help lift buildup, soothe the scalp, and boost blood flow—giving your follicles the fresh start they need. Gently massage the oil in for 3–5 minutes to stimulate circulation.

2. Exfoliate gently

If you have flakes, itchiness, or heavy product use, incorporate an herbal scalp scrub or use a soft scalp brush in the shower to lift dead skin and debris.

3. Moisturize + seal

After cleansing, apply a few drops of lightweight oil (like jojoba or Batana) to keep the scalp hydrated, soothed, and balanced.

4. Protect your edges

Avoid tension-heavy styles like tight ponytails or braids that can inflame or thin out delicate edges. Go for low-tension styles and satin-lined accessories when possible.
