A Healthy Scalp & Hair
Murdock's Top Tips to Managing your Hair
Scalp Massage
People often forget to massage their scalp. This simple practice stimulates healthy oil production and precious blood circulation to the hair follicles. Take a few minutes each day to massage with or without scalp oil. All Murdock shampoo/cuts come with a relaxing head massage.
Mild Products
Avoid over-conditioning the hair and opt for a good quality mild shampoo suitable for regular use such as Kevin Murphy Regular Wash. Cleansing agents from Lavender, Tea Tree and Geranium will leave your hair clean and avoid the limp/greasy appearance left by heavier products. Follow with a mild conditioner such as Kevin Murphy’s Regular Rinse.
Nutrition
It is often said that a healthy scalp is linked to healthy nutrition. Be sure to balance your diet with enough carbohydrates and plenty of Vitamin B and Vitamin B6. Foods like cabbage, egg and yeast can help in the production of these vitamins and produce sulphur which is vital for the health of your scalp. We would also recommend use of a medicated shampoo such as DR Harris medicated shampoo suitable for regular use on all hair types. Try washing your hair alternating between hot with cold water to increase circulation.
Week to week
Intensive Moisturisers
Most natural hair soaks up moisture like a sponge. In addition to your daily routine be sure to use an intensive moisturizing shampoo and intensive conditioner at least once a week. We recommend DR Harris Coconut oil Shampoo and Coconut oil Conditioner with Aloe or DR Harris Lemon Cream Shampoo and Conditioner.
Dry & Damaged Hair
For dry and damaged hair use Kevin Murphy’s Luxury Rinse containing amino acids to rebuild the hair. Leave for 5 minutes for a more intense conditioning. To control frizz and tame unruly hair go for a leave-in treatment such as Kevin Murphy’s Leave-in Luxury. Containing extract of Peruvian Bark and Mango this should be used as alternative to other conditioners and will leave hair soft, rejuvenated and repaired!
