Tip: Start your shower routine with warm water to help remove any reside and dirt from your scalp, but rinse your hair out with cold water to close the cuticles and pores in the scalp, which results in shinier hair!

If your scalp gets itchy and irritated easily, you might have a sensitive scalp. There are several reasons that may cause this and it ranges from internal factors caused by stress or an imbalance diet, to external factors such as pollution, or even a shampoo with a harsh formula which may cause excess sebum secretion. In order to effectively treat your scalp, choose a shampoo whose purpose is to addresses this issue. Superwomen510’s Anti-Sensitive Shampoo is a specially designed to help comfort and protect the scalp. Cleansing it gently without causing any irritation.

Tip: Use this time at home to take a break from heat styling and hot tools, instead of blow-drying your hair, let your hair air dry and give your scalp a breather.
