The Potential of Hydrogen or pH balance defines the health of your scalp and hair. While preventing fungi and bacteria, it keeps the cuticle closed and healthy. To maintain this pH balance, all you need is to pay attention to your hair care rituals. In this post, we will throw light on few of such rituals which have been bringing all wrong to you in terms of hair and scalp health.

Remember that the reasons of an oily scalp extend beyond humid weather and not washing hair enough. Here is the list of 6 things you need to stop doing right away for a healthy scalp.

Hot water wash: Hot water wash often leaves the hair overly porous, causing it to be dry and brittle. It also allows the scalp to be dry and thus the gland produces oil, making your scalp more greasy or oily.

Over washing: Daily shampooing can strip your scalp of its natural oils. Try to wash your hair only 2 to 3 times in a week.

Over brushing: Brushing your hair too much can stimulate oil production, leaving your scalp greasy and hair dry.

The touch: your fingertips produce oil that can easily be transferred to your hair. So if you’re touching your hair all the time, you’re opening up your locks to becoming greasy.

Over conditioning: Applying conditioner all over the head can turn your roots oily. Thus, to balance your scalp, apply conditioner from mid-shaft to ends. Moreover, apply it in moderate quantity only.

Hairspray: You must have been using this product to keep your style intact but at the cost of a greasy scalp. According to experts, frequent use of hair spray can chock hair follicles with harsh chemicals, which can either trigger hair loss or make your scalp greasy.
