A healthy scalp is the foundation for hair growth. Think of your scalp as the soil in which your hair grows. Just as a plant needs healthy soil to thrive, your hair needs a healthy scalp to flourish.
The Scalp-Hair Connection
Hair follicles are embedded within the scalp. These follicles require a clean, well-nourished environment to produce healthy hair strands. When the scalp is unhealthy, it can lead to clogged follicles, hindering hair growth.
Sebum: The Double-Edged Sword
Sebum, the natural oil produced by your scalp, plays a vital role in keeping your hair moisturized. However, excess sebum can block hair follicles, leading to stunted hair growth.
Protective Styles and Hair Products: A Delicate Balance
Protective styles can be great for preventing breakage and retaining length. However, wearing your hair in tight protective styles for extended periods can put stress on your scalp and hair follicles. Similarly, overuse of hair products can lead to buildup, clogging follicles and hindering hair growth.
Nourishment from Within
Just like your nails, your hair is essentially dead. However, the root of your hair, located within the follicle, is very much alive. This is where your hair receives its nourishment. An unhealthy diet can leave your hair malnourished, leading to dullness, breakage, and even hair loss.
Synthetic vs. Natural Hair Products
Using synthetic hair products is like growing up on ultra-processed foods. Will it kill you immediately? No. But it can lead to malnourishment and other problems, such as balding, dull hair, and an unhealthy scalp.

Flaxseed: A Nutritional Powerhouse for Hair
Flaxseed is not only great for your hair when applied topically but also when consumed. It’s a nutritional powerhouse that offers numerous health benefits, including:
- Digestive health
- Heart health
- Blood sugar control
- Reduced inflammation
When applied to the scalp, flaxseed can:
- Define curls and moisturize wavy hair
- Keep straight hair smooth and moisturized
- Stimulate hair growth and lay edges for 4c hair
- Soften locs
So, do hair care products grow your hair?
Yes and no. You shouldn’t expect synthetic products to make your hair strong and nourished. But when you use all-natural, plant-based products, hair care is exactly what you should expect.
