Have you ever wondered, why, even after having a proper hair care routine, our hair products sometimes fail to deliver the desired outcome?

This is because these products work only on clean and healthy scalp.

The best way for cleaning and maintaining the health of your scalp is a scalp serum!

In this blog we will delve into the basics of scalp serum and why we should consider adding them to our hair care routine.

Why do we need a Scalp Serum?

If your scalp has been dry, itchy, and flaky for quite a while now, you need scalp serum for dandruff in your hair.

Scalp serums provide hydration and moisturization to your scalp, eliminate the build-up of products and dead skin cells in your scalp, boost hair growth, and promote blood circulation.

Benefits of using a Scalp Serum

  • It provides nourishment to the scalp and hair for better growth and healthy hair.

  • It provides a soothing effect on the scalp.

  • It balances the pH level of your scalp which eventually helps in stopping various hair conditions.

  • It keeps your scalp hydrated which is essential for maintaining strong hair. 

  • How to apply Scalp Serum?

    • Wash your hair and scalp with a shampoo
    • Apply serum on a clean and damp scalp so that the serum penetrates deeply.
    • Use your fingertips to massage your scalp properly  

    What not to do while using a Scalp Serum

    Do not use scalp serum on dirty or unwashed hair as it may hinder the absorption 

    • Do not use the serum more than it is mentioned as it can cause product build-up or irritation
    • Do not mix different scalp serums
    • Consistency is the key so don’t stop using it immediately, Give serum some time to work and you will be able to see visible results in some time

    Factors to consider before buying Scalp Serum

    • The first and foremost step is to examine your hair and scalp needs like hydration, dandruff control, hair growth, etc.
    • Check the ingredient list to make sure you do not have allergies to any specific component
    • Ensure that the serum is compatible with other hair products you use 

    Conclusion

    The road to beautiful and healthy hair passes through a healthy scalp!

    The scalp is an extension of our facial skin and hence they need the same care and attention.

    With proper hygiene and the right product, you can get a healthy scalp and eventually healthy hair.
