Underneath Your Beautiful Locks: Scalp & Hair Health

I am never quite happy with my hair, ever. I wish they were thicker, healthier, shinier and basically gold-coated-goodness. But of course that's asking too much from just hair, you know? Nonetheless, I have been taking good care of them  for the last decade. Every now and then I have suffered from dry and itchy scalp or excess hair fall, but taken immediate steps to alter that. 

Scalp skin is actually the same skin that we have on our arms, legs and the rest of our body – it has the same function and structure. You wouldn’t (or shouldn’t!) skip cleansing and moisturizing the skin on your face and body, so the same care should be applied to your scalp. Below are my tips for healthy scalp which in turn leads to good hair quality.

1) Take Supplements: Adding a supplement can help you achieve maximum lengths. I take the one made for hair, skin, and nails that has biotin, silica, vitamins B, C, and E, iron, and omega-3.

2) Nourish your body and hair at the same time: Your hair is affected by what you eat. If you suffer from a dry scalp, try incorporating more omega-3 and fish oils into your diet. Help keep hair shiny by eating walnuts and avocado for omega-3 fatty acids; spinach and carrots for vitamin A; and cashews for zinc. All help maintain scalp and hair health, as do low-fat dairy, whole grains, and vegetables.

3) Hydrate your scalp: Just like your face requires moisturizer, your scalp benefits from hydration. CLEAR SCALP & HAIR™ Intense Hydration Nourishing Shampoo and Nourishing Daily Conditioner deliver the following benefits:

• Hair is resilient to dryness for 24 hours of soft, hydrated hair
• Infused with cactus extract, a known hydrator
• Clinically proven to help replenish the scalp with essential hydration with regular use
• Leaves hair beautifully strong from root to tip

4) Cover your head in sun: Too much sun can make your hair brittle, and give split ends. And if you already have thinning hair, you risk a sunburn on your scalp. It's a good idea to wear a hat when you're out in the sun, especially if your scalp is exposed.

5) When it comes to your hair, doing less leads to healthier tresses: Blow drying, curling, coloring, bleaching, even over-brushing, can damage your hair. CLEAR SCALP & HAIR™ moisturizies dry scalp daily conditioner keeps the scalp’s moisture balance in check via Nutrium 10 moisture complex with vitamins, aloe vera, and sunflower, almond, soybean and coconut oils.

My Verdict:
After using CLEAR SCALP & HAIR™ for over a month, I can feel my hair are softer, stronger and over all just healthier. I like how the product is not harsh on my scalp and yet leaves it clean and nourished. And with winter months just around the corner, it is more than necessary to protect my hair from dryness and breakage. I would highly recommend you to try it. 

CLEAR SCALP & HAIR™ is a global haircare brand focused on nourishing the scalp, for strong, beautiful hair. It is available at Target.com and Walgreens.com for a suggested retail price of $4.99 – $5.99
