Additionally, brushing helps to remove dust, dirt, hairspray buildup and gives hair added shine. Brush gently to remove debris and buildup while not allowing the brush to over-stimulate or prick the scalp area. Avoid brushing if your scalp is irritated.

Maintaining the condition of your scalp is the final piece to having a healthy scalp. Conditioning treatments deposit protein or moisture to the hair.

As well as have an updated scalp and hair analysis competed. In summary, scalp maintenance is important if you want to avoid potential bacteria growth.
