Don’t I know how to do this already? you might be asking. But while washing your hair might seem straightforward, a truly effective cleanse requires some thought and expertise. Just like the skin on our faces, each person’s scalp, and the hair that grows out of it, is different. Using the wrong products for your hair type can lead to oily roots, flaky skin and lackluster strands. What’s more, our hair’s needs can shift daily, so the best routine is one that’s both personalized and flexible. Here’s how to tailor your approach to achieve clean, healthy tresses.

1. Pay attention to your scalp

A good routine begins before you get in the shower, with a scalp massage. Massages can lift excess oil, product residue and dead skin cells from the scalp and roots, making them easier to wash away, while also stimulating blood circulation, which some studies have shown may help promote hair growth. A massage can also help you assess how seasonal factors such as dry air and fluctuating temperatures are affecting your hair.

  • Start by putting “something slippery on the scalp to reduce [friction],” advises Anabel Kingsley, a trichologist and the brand president of Philip Kingsley Clinics, which offers an exfoliating, antifungal Flaky Scalp Mask.
  • Use the pads of your fingertips to gently but firmly massage the scalp in circular motions, moving from front to back, then from side to side. Spend time at the back of the head and nape of the neck, which are often neglected, and avoid using your nails; scratching may feel good but it can damage the skin.
  • A mask should be rinsed out afterward, but a leave-in product such as Pattern Beauty’s Scalp Serum can provide lasting hydration after you’re done massaging, and in between washes — a good choice for those with dry skin.
