I see you. Using hot water and cheap shampoo like you’re trying to strip paint. Stop it. Hot water is the enemy—it steals every last drop of moisture from your scalp. Turn the temp down to warm or even lukewarm.
And your shampoo? If it’s packed with sulfates, it’s basically a bully for your scalp. Swap for a sulfate-free formula with soothing ingredients like aloe or oatmeal. Your scalp will literally sigh with relief.
Massage, Don’t Scrub
Use your fingertips (not your nails—no clawing, please) and massage in gentle circles. Think of it like a tiny spa day for your head. It boosts blood flow and helps natural oils spread around.
Plus, it feels amazing. I may or may not close my eyes and hum during this step. No judgment.
