Why this worksAutumn air can be dry, leading to a flaky scalp. DIY treatments help hydrate and nourish your scalp, promoting a healthier environment for hair growth. Ingredients like oils and honey can deeply moisturise, while exfoliating agents can remove dead skin, preventing build-up.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Choose Your Base Oil Start with a carrier oil like coconut or jojoba, which are great for hydration. Warm it slightly for better absorption and massage it into your scalp.
  2. Add Exfoliating Agents Incorporate natural exfoliants like sugar or coffee grounds to gently slough off dead skin cells. Mix them into your oil and apply in circular motions.
  3. Include Nourishing Ingredients Consider adding honey or aloe vera for their soothing properties. Mix these in with your oil to boost hydration and calm irritation.
  4. Massage and Let It Sit Spend 5-10 minutes massaging the mixture into your scalp. Then, let it sit for at least 30 minutes before washing it out with a gentle shampoo.

Where people go wrong

People often skip the patch test, which can lead to irritation. Using too much exfoliant can cause scalp sensitivity. Not letting the treatment sit long enough may reduce its effectiveness.

The pro moveFor an extra boost, warm your oil treatment slightly before applying to enhance absorption.
