Hair health also depends on the health of the scalp. Due to dirt, oils, sweat and various hair products, the scalp gradually starts to get dirty and deposits build up on it. Wash your scalp every few weeks to remove dirt, reduce itching and dryness, reduce dandruff, and improve hair condition. To cleanse your scalp, buy brightening shampoos and products, use natural scalp cleansers, or try a scalp scrub.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Cleaning your scalp with a store-bought product

1. 1 Buy a brightening shampoo. Wash your hair with a cleansing shampoo once a month. Leave the brightening shampoo on your scalp for three minutes (or follow the directions on the shampoo bottle) to remove deposits and dead skin cells.
   • Brightening shampoos can lighten hair color, so apply them before dyeing your hair again.
2. 2 Try a scalp cleaner. There is a wide variety of scalp cleaning products on the market. Buy an exfoliating scrub, a cleansing foam to rub into your scalp, or a serum to remove dead skin cells.
   • The foam does not need to be lathered - it is enough to apply it to the hair and rub it into the scalp. Scrubs allow you to remove from the scalp bOmost of the deposits. The serum will remove what is left after cleansing the scalp.
   • Some of these products can be quite expensive and are only sold in beauty stores or online stores.
3. 3 Apply a deep conditioner to your scalp. Scalp cleansing will strip the hair of its natural oils. To fix this, treat your hair with conditioner. Apply a deep hair conditioner to your hair to restore any moisture it has lost after cleansing your scalp.
   • Do not use conditioner all over your hair or on your scalp, just to the ends, as conditioner will make fine hair look flaccid.
   • You can apply a leave-in conditioner to restore moisture to your hair.
4. 4 Cleanse your scalp regularly. This is necessary to keep the hair on your head healthy.The washing schedule depends on the hair type. To get started, try cleansing your scalp once a month.
   • If your hair has a lot of deposits, you use a lot of hair products, or you sweat a lot, you may need to cleanse your skin every two weeks.
   • It doesn't matter how often you clean your scalp - every week, every two weeks, or once a month - it's important to do it regularly to keep your hair healthy.

Method 2 of 3: Natural Scalp Cleanse

1. 1 Use vinegar. Vinegar is a mild scalp cleanser. Wash your hair first. Rinse off the shampoo and then pour the vinegar solution (vinegar and water) onto your scalp. Wait five minutes and then wash off the vinegar with cold water.
   • To make a vinegar solution, mix 1: 2 vinegar with water.
2. 2 Try apple cider vinegar. Apple cider vinegar can improve scalp health. It kills bacteria, viruses and fungi that cause dry scalp and dandruff. Apple cider vinegar will also help remove deposits and cleanse your scalp.
   • Mix 60 ml of apple cider vinegar with 240 ml of water. Pour the mixture into a household spray bottle and spray it on your hair and scalp. Then massage the mixture into your skin and leave it on for three to five minutes. After that, rinse off the vinegar with warm water and wash your hair with shampoo.
3. 3 Try witch hazel. Witch hazel extract is an astringent that can remove various deposits from the scalp. Soak a cotton swab in witch hazel extract and rub it over your scalp, or make your own rinse by mixing witch hazel extract with water in a 1: 2 ratio. Do not rinse off the liquid for a few minutes and then wash your hair with shampoo.
   • When choosing a product with witch hazel, give preference to a product that does not contain alcohol.
4. 4 Mix Castile soap and baking soda. If you have a lot of dirt on your scalp, you will need a stronger product. Mix castile soap with a tablespoon of baking soda. Take the mixture and massage it into your scalp. Leave the mixture on your skin for five minutes.
   • Rinse off the mixture with warm water, then rinse your head again, but now with cold water.

Method 3 of 3: Cleansing Scrubs for the Scalp

1. 1 Make a brown sugar scrub. If you want to get rid of dead cells on your scalp, try a brown sugar, oatmeal, and hair conditioner scrub. Wash your hair, and then take a little scrub and massage it into your scalp in a circular motion. Leave the scrub on for a couple of minutes and then rinse it off. It is ideal for people with dry hair.
   • To make a scrub, combine two tablespoons of brown sugar, two tablespoons of oatmeal, and two tablespoons of hair conditioner.
   • This scrub is also suitable for those with sensitive scalp.
2. 2 Apply a cinnamon mask. Cinnamon will help get rid of bacteria, baking soda will help remove dirt, and olive oil will moisturize your hair and skin. Apply this mixture to your scalp and then cover your head with a shower cap. Leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes. Then wash your hair with shampoo.
   • To make the mask, mix one teaspoon of baking soda, two tablespoons of olive oil and half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder.
   • This mask works well for people with dry hair.
3. 3 Make a baking soda scrub. The baking soda will cleanse the skin and the tea tree oil will kill the bacteria responsible for dandruff. Add one tablespoon of baking soda and a few drops of tea tree oil to your shampoo. When applying the shampoo to your hair, massage it into your scalp. This remedy works well for people with dry scalp and dandruff.
   • Then rinse off the mixture with warm water.
   • Do not use this product if you have colored hair.You should also avoid using this remedy if you have a sensitive scalp, as tea tree oil can cause irritation.
4. 4 Make a salt scrub. Salt is an excellent exfoliating agent that, when combined with olive oil, can help remove dandruff flakes and other dirt from the scalp. Add lemon to remove hygiene deposits from your hair. Mix the three ingredients together and massage the mixture into your scalp. Let the mixture sit for a couple of minutes and then wash it off. Then wash your hair with shampoo.
   • For a scrub, use two tablespoons of sea salt, one tablespoon of lemon juice, and two tablespoons of olive oil.
   • Since this mixture contains salt and lemon juice, do not use it if you have a sensitive scalp.
