Treatments:

 

Drinking plenty of water can help to keep the scalp hydrated so that hair doesn’t become unnecessarily dry.

Reducing your salt intake and eating a balanced diet full of proteins, vitamins and minerals can also help to restore brittle hair.

Massaging your scalp with your fingers will help to reduce tension and increase the blood flow around the scalp, bringing supplies of oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicles, which are pits in the scalp out of which hairs grow.
