How to improve your scalp health

Royal hairstylist and part of the team credited for the The Duchess of Cambridge’s luscious wedding locks, Richard Ward, gets to the root of why gorgeous healthy hair starts with good scalp health.

Richards tips for a healthier scalp

1. Firstly, don't wash your hair with really hot water as it will open the pores in your scalp and this may stimulate the sebaceous glands that means you will produce more oil resulting in greasy hair.

2. Try pouring a shot of cold water onto your scalp. This will close the pores which will encourages healthy hair growth.

3.  You should stick to using conditioner only at the ends of your hair. If you happen to have really greasy hair then avoid using conditioner at all. 

4. If you are diagnosed with a scalp condition there are amazing treatments that you can buy to put directly onto the scalp.
