A simple hair-care routine focused on gentle scalp care, nutrition and consistent daily habits.
Start with the scalp
Healthy-looking hair begins with sensible scalp care. Keep the scalp clean according to your hair type and avoid repeatedly scratching or aggressively rubbing it.
Oil with a light hand
Traditional hair-oiling routines can be relaxing and may help condition the hair shaft. Use a small amount, massage gently and wash it out if leaving oil on causes buildup or irritation.
Wash gently
Choose a shampoo suited to your scalp and focus cleansing on the scalp rather than roughing up the lengths. Conditioner can help reduce friction and tangling.
Protect the hair shaft
Limit excessive heat, tight hairstyles and harsh chemical treatments. Detangle carefully, especially when hair is wet and more vulnerable to breakage.
Support hair through nutrition
A varied diet with adequate protein, iron-containing foods, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds supports general nutrition. Supplements are not a substitute for identifying a deficiency.
When to seek help
Sudden, patchy or severe hair loss, scalp inflammation or persistent shedding deserves professional assessment because many different causes are possible.
