The appearance of your hair is determined by a combination of factors, including hair care, daily routine, diet, and genetics.
Scalp care also affects hair health and hair growth.
This is according to Dr. Hamdan Abdullah Hamed, MBChB, a board-certified dermatologist and trichologist and co-founder of PowerYourCurls.com.
He shared that “a healthy scalp is very important for hair growth” and that there are three care tips to help achieve this.

Please wash regularly
Women are often cautioned about washing their hair too much, as this can strip the oils from the hair and worsen its color. However, be careful not to wash too much.
“Use a mild, sulfate-free shampoo that preserves your hair’s natural oils. Don’t wash too much or too little; find the balance that works for you,” he said.
scrub the scalp
Many people exfoliate their face and body to clear their skin, but the scalp can also benefit from a good scrub.
Dr. Hamed continued, “Just like your skin, your scalp can collect dead skin cells and residue. Scrubs can help keep your scalp looking fresh and in good condition.”
moisturize
Similarly, moisturizers are essential to many people’s skin care routines, but they’re also important for your scalp.
The doctor recommended natural yet moisturizing products that may help hair growth. He says, “Try to use natural oils like coconut oil or jojoba oil.
Women were told to find the right balance between washing too much and not washing often enough.

“These help keep the scalp moisturized and create a perfect spot for hair to grow better.”
Dr. Hamed also recommends looking at other natural products that can benefit your hair, adding, “Some products can help your hair grow thicker and healthier.”
“Oils such as rosemary and peppermint improve blood circulation to the scalp and may aid hair growth.”
