A healthy-hair routine starts at the scalp. The goal is not to apply as much product as possible; it is to create a rhythm you can repeat.
Start with a clean foundation
Use a gentle cleanser on wash day and focus your fingertips on the scalp rather than roughing up the lengths. Rinse thoroughly so the scalp feels clean and comfortable.
Use oil with purpose
Part hair in sections, apply a few drops and massage gently for two to five minutes. Add more only where dryness calls for it.
Track comfort, not hype
Notice how your scalp feels between wash days. If it feels heavy, reduce the amount. If it feels dry, adjust the frequency. Patch test new products and seek professional advice for persistent scalp concerns.
