Spring Season Scalp Care Routine

During the spring transition period, large daily temperature fluctuations disrupt the oil-moisture balance, and waste accumulated in pores due to fine dust and yellow dust hinders normal hair growth and causes itching, dandruff, and skin troubles.

It is surprising to hear that the scalp ages six times faster than the skin, so you need to take just as good care of your scalp as you do your facial skin.

 

Scalp care starts with shampoo.

You need to switch shampoos according to your scalp condition, such as using a neutral pH product, a highly moisturizing product on days when your hair feels too dry and stiff, and a hypoallergenic product when your scalp is sensitive.

 

 

Scalp massage is also important.

Scalp massage is good for promoting blood circulation, eliminating waste products, and relieving stress, and it helps healthy hair grow by expanding blood vessels.

Using tools such as scalp massage brushes or gua sha is also a good method.

At some point, I started getting severe scalp flaking every winter, so I began using a scalp massage brush, and I found that I hardly got any flaking.

 

 

Before shampooing, first comb your hair to untangle it and brush off dust from your scalp and hair.

Thoroughly wetting your scalp with lukewarm water gently loosens impurities and oil, maximizing the effectiveness of the shampoo.

Dispense an amount of shampoo the size of a 100-won coin into your hand, gently rub it in a circular motion with your palms to massage your scalp evenly, and then rinse thoroughly.

If it doesn't lather enough, impurities may not be removed, so it is a good idea to shampoo one more time.

Afterwards, apply conditioner or treatment, gently comb your hair for about 1 to 2 minutes to allow it to absorb, and then rinse with water.

Finishing with cold water while rinsing tightens the cuticles of the scalp and hair, making it much softer and shinier.

 

When drying your hair, avoid rubbing the ends with a towel; instead, wrap your hair in a towel and press firmly to squeeze out the water. When using a hairdryer, it is best to direct the airflow from top to bottom.
