Maintaining a clean scalp is the first step to growing healthy hair, having alopecia demands that you do a little extra. Co-washing works on occasion, but if you are like me a live an active lifestyle shampooing at least twice a month becomes mandatory. Shampoos help to keep the dirt, grime, and clogging oils away that we do not want on our scalp. Over the past two years, I have tried to find the best shampoo that does not completely strip my hair. Nothing could be worst than taking such good care of your hair only to shampoo it and cause instant damage. My solution was to make my DIY mix of shampoo, oils, and other plants to support my hair growth. Using a mild, natural shampoo is more effective with the other ingredients. We all have a favorite shampoo that already works great for our hair, just add a little extra help to maximize that shampoo. Using essential oils can be irritating to the scalp so try to stick to the amount to prevent problems.
