What Your Hair Tells You About Your Health

What Your Hair Tells You About Your Health

Natural Remedies for Hair Health

Going beyond the plate is important when we are considering our hair health too. Which is why creating a routine with habits can be that additional healthy hair hack.

Ayurvedic Head Massage

Massaging the scalp with natural and organic hair oils and masks stimulates blood flow to the scalp and may improve hair thickness. Massaging your scalp can also help relieve stress and tension, two emotions that may cause hair loss.

This can be done as part of your daily routine or when showering - use your fingertips, not your fingernails. Move your way across your scalp in small circles, applying light to medium pressure.

We love Rosemary, Coconut, Amla and Argan Oil for this principle

Scalp Detox

Consider the stress we put our scalp and skin through every day. Hairspray, products, polluted streets and gym sweat. Detoxing your hair and cleansing your scalp is one of the best things you can do for your hair. In essence, a scalp detox is the equivalent of a deep cleanse. Impurities, dead skin cells, and dirt are removed. As a result, your hair follicles are unclogged enabling fresh new and healthy hair to grow.

Similarly, cleaning up your hair care routine will reduce the toxic load and build up that places pressure on your scalp. You can easily do this by making small and steady changes to your hair care routine by:

  • Swapping to ‘clean’ hair care products
  • Introducing a Filtered Shower Head
  • Make use of an scalp exfoliator
  • Aloe Vera Juice to use as a topical cleanser
