Salt is not just a common seasoning, but it can also be used to beautify the skin and hair. Salt can improve hair loss, effectively control and inhibit oil secretion, help clean dandruff, and make hair shiny and grow faster.
Let’s find out in detail the specific benefits that salt can bring to your hair.
Prevent excess oiliness
Salt can control the excessive activity of sebaceous glands on the scalp, producing too much oil. Simply add 2 or 3 tablespoons to the shampoo you usually use and wash your hair with it. The results will be clearly seen after a few initial treatments.
Treat dandruff
Dandruff is a layer formed on the scalp, causing dandruff, protecting your scalp from the growth of fungi. You need to divide your hair into sections and sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of salt on your scalp, wet your fingers and gently massage for 10 minutes. Rinse as usual.
Stimulate new hair growth
Salt prevents and stops hair loss and promotes the growth of new hair. You should shampoo as usual, then wet your scalp with sea salt for 10 – 15 minutes. After that, shampoo your hair again. Repeat this process twice a week for 2 months.

Washing your hair with salt and honey is also one of the ways to beautify your hair and scalp. Thanks to its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and tissue cell regeneration properties, honey can make your hair smoother and ensure the necessary moisture for your hair. So you can combine salt and honey for healthy hair.
Washing your hair with salt is beneficial for cleaning the scalp, killing bacteria, but washing frequently with salt can dry out your hair excessively. The salt crystals absorb moisture and escape from the hair fibers, which will make your hair dry and brittle. To address this drawback, you need to shampoo carefully and use conditioner to restore the lost moisture to your hair.
