Say goodbye to a damp, hot, and oily scalp! Five key scalp care tips for a refreshing summer

With the arrival of hot summer, not only does your face get oily, but your scalp gets oily too!
After riding your bike for five minutes, when you take off your helmet, it's like seeing a Taiwanese opera hair piece: all wet, sticky, and clinging to your scalp, with the ends dry and frizzy. Suddenly, my mood skyrockets like a thermometer popping. This scene happens every day.
Whether you're cycling or out and about, the condition of your scalp and hair can often be out of control. How can you effectively manage and care for unruly hair and an oily scalp?

First, understand the causes of hair damage

  • Summer's high temperatures and UV rays. (High temperatures cause the hair cuticles to open, making hair dry and brittle.)
  • Air-conditioned rooms. (Dry air strips hair of moisture, making it dry and brittle.)
  • Swimming pools and beaches. (The chlorine in swimming pools and the salt in seawater are both very damaging to hair.)
The above three factors can damage hair, causing it to lose moisture and protein, resulting in a loss of elasticity.

Five Key Scalp Care and Maintenance Points

  1. Focus on the scalp during washing.
  2. Comb your hair before shampooing to remove oil and dirt from the scalp.
  3. Wet your scalp thoroughly with warm water to open your pores.
  4. Lather shampoo in your palms and gently massage your scalp with your fingertips.
  5. Rinse thoroughly.

You can also choose a shampoo with cooling ingredients. This not only helps cool the scalp but also leaves a refreshing feeling after washing, leaving your hair feeling refreshed and smooth while also relieving the heat.

Two Daily Care Tips

  1. After washing your hair, use a conditioner or hair mask to replenish moisture and protein.
  2. Use scalp-specific care products (scalp toner, essential oils, etc.)

Develop these three habits when going out to minimize hair damage

  1. Use sunscreen.
  2. When wearing a helmet, wear your hair up to minimize friction that can damage the hair cuticle.
  3. Try to use umbrellas or hats for sun protection.

Diet is also crucial.

In addition to external care and protection, a balanced diet is also crucial! Protein is one of the most important nutrients for your scalp. Try to get protein with every meal, such as meat, fish, eggs, and soy products.
In addition, certain vitamins and minerals also help maintain a healthy scalp.

  • Vitamin B: Maintains a healthy scalp; Sources: liver, eggs, seafood, and beans.
  • Vitamin A: Protects the scalp and reduces dryness and dandruff; Sources: liver, carrots, and pumpkin.
  • Vitamin C: Helps strengthen the scalp; Sources: kiwi, strawberries, and broccoli.

3 No-Nos for Scalp Care

  1. Avoid over-cleansing your scalp.
  2. Minimize your intake of spicy foods and alcohol.
  3. Blow-dry your hair immediately after washing; avoid air-drying.
