Healthy Scalp Tips From the Roots Up!

Let’s talk about something that doesn’t always get the spotlight it deserves: your scalp! 

While we all love a good hair day (who doesn’t?), it’s easy to forget that the key to luscious locks starts beneath the hair itself. That’s right – a happy, healthy scalp is the secret to shinier strands, stronger growth and less hair drama overall. Think of it as the soil to your hair’s garden… if the roots aren’t nourished, the flowers won’t bloom!

Your scalp is skin, just like the rest of your body – and it needs just as much love. When your scalp is clean, balanced and hydrated, your hair follicles can do their job properly, meaning your hair has a better chance of growing in strong, healthy and full of life.

On the flip side, if your scalp is clogged with product build-up, dry skin or excess oil, it can slow down hair growth and even lead to hair thinning or itchiness. (No thank you!)

At Combers Inside-Out Hairdressing in Taunton, we’re all about working from the inside out – and that includes nurturing your scalp so your hair can truly shine.

Top Tips for a Healthy Scalp

Here are some easy (and dare we say enjoyable?) ways to boost your scalp health and get your hair looking and feeling fabulous:

1. Give your scalp a gentle scrub:  We’re not talking sandpaper – just a bit of exfoliation to lift away dead skin cells and product build-up. Try massaging your scalp with your fingertips (or a scalp brush) for a few minutes while you shampoo – it boosts circulation and feels heavenly too!

2. Choose your products wisely: Heavy silicones and harsh ingredients can weigh your hair down and mess with your scalp’s natural balance. Instead, go for gentle, nourishing products that treat your scalp with kindness.

3. Don’t skip the hydration: Just like your skin, your scalp can get dry and irritated. Keep it moisturised and balanced to prevent flakiness and itchiness.

4. Get regular professional check-ins: Sometimes, your scalp needs expert attention – and that’s where we come in! Whether it’s a professional scalp treatment or a tailored product recommendation, our team at Combers is always happy to help.
