Scalp health is hair health.

Using once per week on dry strands should be enough to make a difference.

“Certain oils and foods can exacerbate bacterial or fungal induced scalp conditions.

Another major benefactor to scalp health is good old-fashionedapple cider vinegar.

ACV has a plethora ofanti-inflammatory propertiesthat have earned major creds in the gut-health space.

Which, incidentally, can also help with frizz, notes Townsend.

This treatment can be used once per week or a couple of times per week.

Stick to once per month for this treatment.

Alternately, skip a day of shampooing and just go the water-rinse route, says Townsend.

This treatment can be used daily.

Tea Tree Oil Treatment

“Tea tree oil is perfect.

Add a few drops to damp hair, and massage into the scalp and through the ends.

Keep in for around 30 minutes and wash as usual.

Try this once every two weeks for optimal hair and scalp health.

Castor Oil Mask

“Castor oilis another great scalp ingredient to help with hair growth.

“Allow the bags or leaves to steep longer than you would if you were preparing to drink.”

Once your hair is shampooed and prior to conditioning, saturate hair fibers with the tea solution.

Rinse with lukewarm water, condition, and style.

Use this treatment once a week on any hair bang out.
