Tips to Prevent Dry Scalp in Afro-textured Hair

Afro-textured hair can get very dry if not treated with good shampoos, conditioners, moisturizers, and essential oils. To prevent the scalp from getting dry, brush the scalp after washing and conditioning the hair, your hair would have to be dry first before brushing your scalp. Begin by parting your hair, make a part at the top of your head and brush the scalp. Continue parting the hair in different areas and brushing the scalp until you've completed your whole head. But if you have a perm in your hair you can use a fine-tooth comb to scrape your scalp instead of a brush. Using a brush on chemically process hair will eventually make the hair fall out and break the ends.

You can shampoo with an organic shampoo after gently scraping the scalp with a fine-tooth comb. And then make four individual parts starting from the front to the back of the head, and then apply an Herbal Scalp Oil Serum on the scalp. Massage the oil into your scalp and hair with your fingers, massaging the scalp will supply better blood circulation for faster hair growth. Using hair greases can weigh the hair down and slow the process of hair growth by clogging scalp pores.

After using an Herbal Scalp Oil Serum you will want to buy it again and again. It contains Neem Oil, Nettle Leaf, Rosemary Oil, and more, which is great in helping to prevent dry scalp. Herbal Scalp Oil Serums assists with anti-itch for the scalp and is useful for people that like to wear braids, weaves, and other styles that consist of braids, cornrows, and twists.

Scalp-scraping with a fine-tooth comb will assist with getting rid of old scalp flakes/fungus. Getting the old skin cells off of the scalp can help the hair to grow faster and healthier, along with organic hair products.

Most tight braiding hairstyles can cause the scalp to produce a fungus, which will eventually make the scalp itch and flake. Another thing that causes the scalp to become dry is wearing a chemical hair perm; the harsh ingredients in perms will definitely cause the scalp and hair to dry out, eventually.
