When it comes to hair care and maintaining a healthy routine, most of us neglect to remember that our scalps are skin too and need the same care and attention as the rest of our body does.

It is easy to forget about our scalp until it starts to act out. We take our scalps for granted when they are smooth, clean, and healthy, and the hair that grows from it is thick and lustrous.
