How to properly maintain scalp health to reduce oiliness and prevent hair loss?

2024-12-19｜Lena

Hair thinning and severe hair loss can be significant concerns for some individuals. But have you ever considered what might be causing your hair loss? If you're looking to address this issue, it's time to evaluate whether your scalp care routine is sufficient. MCG, in collaboration with professional hairstylists, has produced numerous scalp analysis videos. Most participants believed they were cleaning their hair thoroughly, but the tests often revealed that their scalp condition was worse than they thought. Here, we introduce 5 essential scalp care steps, emphasizing that effective hair care shouldn't focus solely on the strands—resolving scalp issues is the key to addressing the root cause.

I. Protect your scalp from the sun

II. Rinse hair with lukewarm water while washing

III. Improve your lifestyle habits

IV. Brush hair before washing

V. Choose the right hair care products

1.Protect your scalp from the sun

Long-term exposure to UV rays can accelerate the loss of moisture and protein from hair strands, causing cuticle damage and roughness. Without the protective layer of cuticles, moisture escapes easily, leading to dryness, split ends, lack of shine, and reduced elasticity, ultimately resulting in breakage. UV rays also affect the amino acids in hair roots, exacerbating dryness and damage. To protect hair follicles, using an umbrella or wearing a hat under the sun is essential. Those who frequently dye or perm their hair, have significant gray hair, or engage in outdoor activities should pay extra attention to scalp sun protection.

2.Rinse hair with lukewarm water while washing

Taking a hot shower can be incredibly relaxing, but did you know that using overly hot water to wash your hair can strip away excessive scalp oils? This can irritate the scalp, potentially leading to inflammation and leaving your hair dry and dull. To prevent this, ensure the water temperature is not too hot—ideally around 36–38°C. Excessive heat can weaken hair roots, making strands more prone to breakage.

3.Improve your lifestyle habits

Hair loss or an oily scalp is often caused by overactive sebaceous glands. While genetics play a role, consuming too many spicy or stimulating foods can also contribute to these issues. Improving your dietary habits can help regulate your scalp's condition effectively.

4.Brush hair before washing

Before washing your hair, always detangle any knots to prevent excessive pulling, which can damage both your scalp and hair, leading to breakage. The correct way to brush your hair is to start at the ends, gently working your way up toward the scalp. Avoid yanking your hair to minimize pulling and reduce the risk of hair damage.

5.Choose the right hair care products

Balancing scalp oil is key. Use hair care products suited to your needs, opting for shampoos with simple, gentle ingredients. Choose products with straightforward functions and avoid alkaline or overly harsh cleansing agents.
