Achieve healthy locks and promote hair growth with an 'essential' task - 'it's the secret to thriving hair!'

One way to put this into practice and achieve your best hair is with good scalp care.

Founder of Ecoslay Adria Marshall said stimulating your scalp can promote hair growth.

She told GB News: "Your scalp is where hair growth happens, so keeping it clean and stimulated is essential.

"Use a gentle shampoo to cleanse regularly without stripping away natural oils."

Washing your hair too often can be counterproductive and strip oils that help give your locks a healthy shine.

Massaging your scalp is another hair care hack that is free to do and can transform your barnet, according to the expert.

Adria continued: "I also recommend giving yourself a scalp massage when you wash or even when you're just relaxing.

"It boosts blood circulation, which promotes growth. You can also use peppermint or tea tree oil oils to keep your scalp healthy."

Women can do this themselves using their fingertips or by purchasing a scalp massaging tool, which can be used while washing their hair for speed.

This not only improves circulation but stretches the skin of the scalp which can stimulate hair growth genes.

Experts have also warned against hair habits as they can do your locks more harm than good.

A model shared advice for "healthy and full hair" and said avoiding hot styling tools is one of the best things women can do for their hair.

She said: "I know that's really hard and I do use a hair straightener almost every single day but I have it on a pretty low heat and I only use it on my ends and [the little pieces of hair at the top of the head and the sides].

"If I can stand it and take it, I really try not to use curling irons and hair straighteners a lot throughout my hair.

"At the end of the day, that is damaging to your hair - it's just added heat and it does make it drier. So I do try to lay off the hot tools, I know it's hard."
