Why it needs to be a part of your hair loss routine:

For the same reason that you would exfoliate your skin regularly to remove the layer of dead skin cells and clear the way for your moisturisers and serums to penetrate your face more effectively, your scalp needs the same level of attentive care too. 

Our scalps have sebaceous glands that produce oil and in amounts that are relative to our body and hair, it can keep our hair soft and bright but too much of it can lead to dandruff and at its worse, seborrheic dermatitis–a scalp condition associated with itching red skin, scaly patches, and resilient dandruff. 

Exfoliating the scalp regularly (from a bi-weekly routine to a monthly routine) rids your scalp of debris, and keeps it healthier in the long run by stimulating hair growth. Extend this step to your hair routine and make it the first one you do, that way the treatments and products that follow after will be able to penetrate deeply into your roots.

Why it needs to be a part of your hair loss routine:

Specific problems need specific answers. If you’re experiencing hair loss at a quicker and more drastic rate, you would ideally want to use products that offer three-fold benefits: they should stimulate hair growth, have volumising effects to give your current tresses a boost, and nourish your strands to prevent additional breakage. 

Using a volumising shampoo will leave your hair looking fuller, and create a texture that makes it look more “plump”. Volumising shampoos are formulated to be lightweight in nature so as to avoid weighing down your hair. 

Look for volumising shampoos that have polymers, according to Cosmetics Info, polymers in personal care products lead to better performance and when they’re used to increase thickness in shampoos, the formula will feel more rich and creamy. It’ll also enhance the overall appearance and feel of the hair by increasing the hair body and sheen.

Why it needs to be a part of your hair loss routine:

Hair loss could come from health conditions or hormonal changes, but another factor is hair breakage that comes from over-dyeing or frequent use of heating tools. Over-dyeing your hair will often lead to hair breakage and hair loss because of its chemical process and dry heat will weaken your hair strands and at its very worst, could burn your hair off, which is why hairdressers will often recommend using a protectant spray to preemptively protect your hair. 

To counter the lasting effects of these treatments, you should start incorporating hair masks into your routine. Hair masks are an amplified alternative to conditioners, and by using them weekly you’re nourishing the hair with the proteins and moisture it needs to retain its original integrity before the damage. Hair masks are most effective for hair that’s dry, damaged, or frizzy, and some are even formulated to improve scalp conditions.

You might notice that your hair on the ends is noticeably dry and brittle when compared to the roots; it’s why hairdressers often recommend brushing your hair to equally distribute the oils, and where hair oils come into consideration. 

Hair oils are meant to mimic what your natural oils do, depending on the type you get you can use it as a treatment to nourish your damaged locks or to protect them before reaching for your styling tools.
