Everything You Need to Know About Scalp Care
Did you know the health of your scalp is directly connected to the health of your hair?
Your scalp plays a vital role in supporting the growth of strong, dense and healthy hair.
The skin that makes up your scalp is very similar to the skin on your face, except it’s hidden from direct view thanks to your hair. Like all good skin care, good scalp care can be broken down into two main parts.
The first is maintaining the right scalp care habits, from washing regularly to avoiding behaviors that can negatively affect your skin or harm your hair follicles.
The second is incorporating the right products into your scalp care routine.
Start Practicing Healthier Scalp Habits
Wash your hair as it starts to feel oily. Your scalp will become oilier as the sebaceous glands in your hair follicles produce sebum. This excess oil buildup may cause your hair to feel oily and heavy. We recommend finding a routine to wash your hair 2-3x per week.
Use a shampoo that matches your hair and skin type. Choose a shampoo that matches your hair and scalp needs. If you’re prone to dandruff, pick a shampoo that moisturizes your scalp and cleans away excess sebum, such as Super Garden CBD Shampoo, to keep both your hair and scalp healthy and soothed.
Make the most out of your wash. Leaving shampoo on your scalp after washing may cause it to become red, irritated and itchy. Try to wash out all hair care products, including shampoo and conditioner, as thoroughly as possible. When shampooing your hair, don’t scrub your scalp; instead, massage it to increase blood flow and circulation.
Notice a scalp problem? Talk to your healthcare provider. If you start to develop an itchy, burning or flaky scalp, talk to your healthcare provider or schedule an appointment with a dermatologist. They’ll be able to diagnose the issue and prescribe medication or other treatments to control your symptoms and improve your scalp health.
Incorporate The Right Products
Along with using the right products, we’ve found a silicone scrubber can help you get that deep clean and scalp massage just like you’re at the salon. Exfoliating your scalp is a great way to remove any buildup and allow the natural oils to hydrate the scalp. Removing the layers of dead skin and unclogging the follicles can also help hair to grow normally.

Healthy Scalp = Healthy Hair
Taking care of your scalp is the key to growing thicker, fuller, healthier-looking hair.
The great thing about scalp care is that it’s easy to do. With the right mix of good habits and effective products, you can support a healthy scalp and reduce your risk of dealing with chronic skin conditions or hair shedding.
