The strong and healthy hair you crave doesn\u2019t start with deep conditioning masks or oil-infused serums. It actually starts at the scalp. We\u2019re so focused on cleaning up split ends, preserving expensive highlights, and protecting our hair from an array of hot tools that our scalps often get neglected. But, in reality, the scalp is where all great hair is born.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s why we\u2019re adding scalp care to our list of beauty must-haves.<\/p>\n

\nThink of how often you use your beloved dry shampoo — where does all the product go? If you\u2019re not taking the time to scrub it off, it\u2019s just sitting on your scalp. The build-up can cause your scalp to be dry and itchy, leaving flakes of product around your part and throughout your hair. It can also clog your hair follicles, preventing your strands from growing long and strong. To keep your scalp squeaky clean, you should use a clarifying shampoo once a week like the Bumble and Bumble Sunday Shampoo<\/a>, which lifts product residue and built-up for a thorough cleanse. We also recommend Drybar’s On the Rocks Clarifying Charcoal Shampoo<\/a> — it’s formulated with activated charcoal to remove impurities without stripping or drying out your hair.<\/p>\n
\nIf your scalp is always dry and itchy, try adding a scalp treatment or exfoliating shampoo into your hair care routine to soothe it. Scalp inflammation may induce excessive shedding, so treating it with extra care will prevent hair loss (and clogged shower drains!). Try the dpHUE Apple Cider Vinegar Scalp Scrub With Pink Himalayan Sea Salt<\/a> or the Briogeo Scalp Revival Charcoal + Tea Tree Scalp Treatment<\/a> — both products target a dry, irritated, and flaky scalp.<\/p>\n
\nLonger locks can be yours with a few strokes of a brush and a daily scalp massage. By increasing blood flow to the scalp, you\u2019re promoting circulation and stimulation to the area, which delivers more nutrients and energy to your hair follicles. You can use a blend of oils to give yourself a head massage or buy paddle brush (Olivia Garden Healthy Hair Eco-Friendly Bamboo Ionic Massage Large Paddle Brush<\/a>) or scalp massager (Vanity Planet Groove: Rejuvenating Scalp Massager<\/a>). Plus, it\u2019s a therapeutic way to relax and wind down before bed.<\/p>\n
