…..
#1 Thoroughly Dry your Scalp
It’s actually a tip many people overlook, but it is important to properly and thoroughly dry your scalp after you’ve washed your hair.
# 2 Wash Your Hair If It Gets Wet
Basically, if your hair ever gets wet, even if it’s by a single raindrop, whenever you get home, make sure to wash your hair.

#3 Protect your head from UV rays
The simplest way you can protect your hair from the harmful UV rays is by wearing a hat/cap when you’re going to be out in the sun for a considerable amount of time.
#4 Eat Healthy Foods for your Scalp
Try to incorporate more of the following foods into your diet, in order to have a healthier scalp from the inside out: tuna, seaweed, cheese, black beans, green tea, pomegranate.
#5 Wash Your Hair At Night
It’s actually better for your hair to wash it later in the evening/night time, but make sure to dry it properly, especially if you’re going to bed after!
#6 Enough Sleep
This might not need much explanation, but basically: just make sure to get enough sleep. The recommended for adult women is generally 6-9 hours per night, and more if you’re still a teenager.
#7 Shampoo Time
When you apply shampoo unto your head, make sure to rub it in for about 2-3 minutes before rinsing it.
#8 Treatments
Treatments are a great way to make your hair healthier. It’s recommended to try treatments as often as 2 or 3 times per week. After you shampoo and rinse your hair, leave the treatment on for the recommended time (usually ~10 minutes). Afterwards, rinse it thoroughly.

#9 Dehydrated Scalp?
If you have a dehydrated or very dry scalp, do not blow dry it! Instead, dry it only naturally, and try out products that are specifically nourishing and hydrating.
#10 Brushing
Brushing your hair helps stimulate blood circulation to your scalp. Using a brush with soft, round bristles will be the best option. However, don’t brush your hair if it’s wet! Wait for it to be damp, and untangle it with a wide-toothed comb, or simply wait until it’s dry and brush it as normal.
