Hair grows from the scalp, so caring for the scalp is a good place to start. These habits are simple, and most of them cost nothing.

Daily habits

  • Keep your scalp clean, especially after sweating or being outdoors.
  • Dry your hair well before sleeping, so the scalp does not stay damp.
  • Avoid tying your hair tightly every day.

Weekly habits

  • Wash with a gentle shampoo such as Shahi Shampoo, using lukewarm water.
  • Rinse thoroughly, because leftover product can cause itching.
  • Massage the scalp gently to help circulation.

Things to avoid

  • Scratching the scalp with your nails
  • Using very hot water on the scalp
  • Sharing combs and towels

When to see a doctor

If you have persistent itching, redness, flaking, sores or sudden hair loss, see a doctor or dermatologist. A proper check helps you find the cause.
