Healthy Scalp Tips for Long, Thick & Luscious Hair

Scalp health is the beauty buzzword of the moment and it makes sense. The length, lustre and health of your hair depends on the skin that covers your head. Scalp problems are often at the root hair concerns, if our scalp is not happy then our hair will show it! 

So, read on for everything you need to know about your scalp to encourage long, thick and healthy hair.

Healthy Scalp = Healthy Hair

Each hair grows from, and through, an individual follicle which surfaces on the scalp. Sebum (oil) is also produced by the follicle and the amount will vary from person to person. It is essential that the follicles and the scalp, are clean, clear and healthy because follicles that are full of oil or blocked by dead skin will have an impact on the quality of hair growth.

It is so important that dead skin is removed by brushing or washing, but also by weekly exfoliation. Below are the best products for scalp exfoliation at Fresh Beauty co. New Zealand.
