You can easily do a scalp treatment at home using readily available ingredients for a healthier scalp and hair. One simple method involves using baking soda and olive oil.
Baking Soda and Olive Oil Scalp Treatment
This treatment is especially beneficial for dry scalps and can leave your hair feeling clean and silky.
Ingredients:
- Baking soda
- Olive oil
Instructions:
- Mix: Combine equal parts of baking soda and olive oil. For example, you could use 2 tablespoons of each, adjusting the amount based on your hair length and thickness.
- Apply: Rub the mixture directly onto your scalp. Ensure you cover the entire scalp for even treatment.
- Massage: Gently massage the mixture into your scalp using your fingertips. This helps to exfoliate the scalp and promote blood circulation.
- Wait: Leave the treatment on your scalp for at least five minutes. You can leave it on longer, up to 15-20 minutes, for a more intensive treatment.
- Rinse: Thoroughly rinse the mixture out of your hair using lukewarm water.
- Wash: Wash your hair with a gentle shampoo to remove any remaining residue.
- Condition: Follow up with a conditioner to hydrate and nourish your hair.
