Why scalp care is the new skincare — And how to do It naturally
When we think of self-care, we often focus on glowing skin and silky hair. But there’s one area we tend to ignore, the scalp. Just like your face, your scalp has pores, produces oil, and is sensitive to product buildup and pollution. Ignoring it can lead to dull hair, hair fall, dandruff, and more.
That’s why scalp care is now being recognised as the foundation of a healthy hair routine. In fact, beauty experts are calling it the new skincare.
Let’s understand why your scalp needs care and how you can treat it naturally at home.
Why Is Scalp Care Important?
Your scalp is skin. It needs cleansing, hydration, and nourishment, just like your face. A clean, well-nourished scalp means:
-
Less hair fall
-
Reduced dandruff and flakiness
-
Faster hair growth
-
Thicker, shinier strands
-
Better absorption of haircare products
Ignoring scalp health leads to blocked follicles, weak roots, and slow hair growth.
Signs Your Scalp Needs Help
-
Itchiness or constant scratching
-
Dryness or visible flakes
-
Greasy roots just a day after washing
-
Excessive hair shedding
-
Pimples or bumps on the scalp
If you notice any of these, your scalp needs attention.
Natural Scalp Care Routine at Home
You don’t need fancy treatments—just the right approach and natural ingredients. Here's how you can build a scalp care routine with Ayurvedic-inspired methods:
1. Weekly Scalp Oil Massage
Oiling isn’t old-fashioned—it’s essential. Massaging your scalp improves blood circulation, unclogs follicles, and reduces stress.
Use:
✅ Satthwa Premium Hair Oil (contains Bhringraj, Amla, Coconut, and Castor Oil)
How:
-
Warm the oil slightly
-
Massage gently into the scalp for 10–15 minutes
-
Leave overnight or for 1–2 hours
-
Wash off with mild shampoo
2. Cleanse Gently but Thoroughly
Using harsh shampoos strips your scalp of natural oils, leading to dryness and more oil production.
Use:
✅ Satthwa Daily Drench Mild Shampoo — sulphate-free, gentle, yet effective
How:
-
Rinse scalp with lukewarm water
-
Use 1–2 pumps to cleanse the scalp and hair
-
Rinse thoroughly
-
Avoid daily washing unless needed
3. Scalp Serum for Targeted Care
Serums aren’t just for your face! Scalp serums can stimulate follicles and strengthen roots.
Use:
✅ Satthwa Hair Growth Serum — Infused with Redensyl, Anagain, and Biotin
How:
-
Apply a few drops directly to a clean scalp
-
Massage in with fingertips
-
Leave in (no rinsing required)
4. Exfoliate (Once a Week)
Scalp exfoliation removes dead skin, product buildup, and excess oil.
DIY Exfoliator:
-
Mix 1 tbsp sugar + 2 tbsp aloe vera gel
-
Massage gently into wet scalp
-
Rinse well
Note: Be gentle—your scalp is delicate.
