Have you tried every product on the shelf but never received the results you wanted? Perhaps you've been nourishing the wrong part of your hair all along. It's not the visible shafts that need the most care, but the hidden foundation: your scalp. This is where hair health truly begins, and it's the one place that makes all the difference.
Scalp health is a fundamental and often overlooked factor in the overall health and growth of your hair. A healthy scalp provides the ideal environment for hair follicles to thrive, whilst an unhealthy scalp can lead to various issues that impede hair growth and can even result in hair loss.
The Connection Between Scalp Health and Hair Growth
Your scalp is the powerhouse of your hair production. It homes thousands of follicles where each strands are born and gets inner nourishment. A healthy scalp is characterised by good blood circulation that delivers vital nutrients, a balanced microbiome to prevent issues, and proper hydration. When your scalp is in this optimal state, it can support strong, resilient hair growth.
But what's the one simple habit that can make all the difference? While countless products and remedies promise healthier hair, a regular scalp massage remains an unmatched practice for truly nourishing your scalp. Here's how to perform a scalp massage to nourish your hair.
