Other than washing it well, you can improve your scalp and make it healthy with some additional steps in your haircare routine. Scalp brush or scalp massage to dislodge the buildup and grime for effective cleansing. Don't overwash your hair as it could strip off the natural oils needed to keep your hair soft and healthy. Cover your head when you're out in the sun as the harsh UV rays could damage the hair follicles. Also, avoid treatments like colouring or straightening near the scalp.

To make sure that all of the day's grime and buildup is removed and your scalp is clean, be diligent. Rinse your hair before you get to shampooing. And when you do shampoo, mix it with a little bit of water so that it is evenly distributed. Stick to only shampooing your scalp as that is where the buildup is. While rinsing it off, be thorough and keep washing till all of the product has left your scalp and hair. And while applying conditioner, stay away from the scalp and apply it only from the mid-lengths to the tips.
