Wednesday's Hair Growth Tip!

1. Maintain a clean scalp.

In my opinion, keeping your scalp clean is just as critical to hair growth as your diet and genetics. A filthy scalp is more prone to fungal and bacterial infections that may adversely affect the follicle -- the area where hair growth begins. Pollutants, product buildup, sweat, and dead skin cells can contribute to the filth. Thus, maintaining good hygiene when it comes to the scalp is essential. Here are a few tips:

*Be sure to wash your hair regularly remembering to also cleanse the scalp.
*Minimize the use of products directly on the scalp, especially those containing pore-clogging ingredients.
*Cleanse your scalp after intense, sweaty workout sessions.
*If you perspire profusely on hot, humid days, chances are your scalp has accumulated some sweat buildup. Cleanse your scalp on these days as well.
*SIDE NOTE: Avoid scratching the scalp while washing; this action can open up the scalp to infections as well.
