Do you condition your hair? Good. Now condition your scalp. It sounds weird, I know. But a small dab of conditioner massaged into your roots can be a game-changer. It’s like giving your head a glass of water after a long run in the desert.
Just rinse it thoroughly. You don’t want to look like you dipped your head in mayonnaise. Unless that’s your look, in which case, carry on. But for most of us, a clean, hydrated scalp is the goal.
Oils Are Not Just for Salad
When the battle gets serious, bring out the big guns. Coconut oil, jojoba oil, or even plain olive oil can work wonders. Warm a tiny amount between your palms and massage it into your scalp for ten minutes. You look like a weirdo in a spa, but trust the process.
Leave it on for 30 minutes (or overnight if you’re brave). Then shampoo twice to get it all out. Your hair will be so glossy, birds might try to nest in it. It’s a small price for a flake-free existence.
