Here’s a fun fact: what you eat shows up on your scalp. Omega-3 fatty acids (hello, salmon, walnuts, and flaxseeds) are like internal oil for your skin. They reduce inflammation and help your scalp stay supple.
Drink water like it’s your job. Dehydration makes every flake look like a snowflake in a blizzard. And while you’re at it, cut back on sugary snacks—they can feed that pesky fungus we mentioned earlier.
Wash Smarter, Not Harder
I know you love your dry shampoo, but overusing it can clog pores and create a flaky build-up. You don’t have to wash your hair every day—that can dry you out—but don’t go a full week, either.
Aim for two to three washes per week. On non-wash days, just rinse your scalp with cool water to remove dust and sweat. Your scalp needs to breathe, not suffocate under layers of products.
