An unhealthy scalp can lead to lots of problems such as dandruff, itchiness, dryness, and even hair loss. By prioritising scalp care, you’re investing in the overall health and appearance of your hair.

Understanding the root problems of scalp issues is the first step towards effective scalp care. Here are some factors that can negatively impact your scalp health:

1. Product Build-up: Frequent use of styling products and heavy conditioners can clog hair follicles, leading to irritation and reduced hair growth.
2. Poor Diet: A diet lacking in essential nutrients can weaken your scalp and hair health.

4. Environmental Factors: Exposure to pollution, harsh weather conditions, and UV rays can damage your hair and your scalp.
