How to Make Your Scalp Not Tenderheaded

 


If you have a tender scalp, it can be uncomfortable when brushing or styling your hair. Here are some tips to make your scalp less tender:


1. Gentle Handling: Be gentle when brushing and styling your hair. Use wide-toothed combs or brushes with soft bristles to minimize scalp irritation. You can also try finger detangling. See video below




2. Proper Detangling: Start at the tips of your hair and work your way up when detangling to avoid pulling on the roots.


3. Use a Leave-In Conditioner: Apply a leave-in conditioner to your hair to make it more manageable and reduce tangles.


4. Avoid Tight Hairstyles: Avoid tight hairstyles that pull on your scalp, such as tight ponytails or braids. Opt for looser styles.


5. Regular Scalp Massages: Gently massage your scalp to improve blood circulation and relieve tension.


6. Use a Soothing Scalp Oil: Some natural oils, like jojoba oil or coconut oil, can be soothing for the scalp. Apply a small amount and massage it in.


7. Stay Hydrated: Proper hydration can improve the overall health of your hair and scalp.


8. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Use hair products with gentle ingredients and avoid those containing harsh chemicals that can irritate the scalp.


9. Regular Trims: Trim your hair regularly to remove split ends and prevent tangling.


10. Protect Your Hair at Night: Use a silk or satin pillowcase or a silk/satin scarf to reduce friction and protect your hair while you sleep.


11. Consult a Dermatologist: If your scalp sensitivity is severe or persistent, consult a dermatologist to rule out any underlying scalp conditions.


By following these tips, you can help reduce scalp tenderness and make your hair care routine more comfortable.

The Float Test • Take a few strands of clean, dry hair (no product or oil on it). • Fill a glass or bowl with room-temperature water. • Drop the hair strands into the water and wait 2–4 minutes. • Low porosity: Hair floats on top, as the cuticles are tightly closed and resist absorbing water. • Medium porosity: Hair slowly sinks to the middle, as it absorbs a balanced amount of water. • High porosity: Hair quickly sinks to the bottom, as it absorbs water easily due to open or damaged cuticles. 2. The Slip Test • Run your fingers up a strand of hair from the tip to the root. • Low porosity: Hair feels smooth, indicating tightly closed cuticles. • Medium porosity: Hair feels slightly textured, indicating healthy cuticles. • High porosity:...
