Like the way you care for your skin, the same way you have to care for your scalp.

For the scalp, the cleansing part is very important. Scalp care is indirectly your hair care. Use a good shampoo as per your scalp. If there are no issues, use a sulphate free shampoo, those having dandruff should use anti dandruff shampoo 2-3 times in a week. Please understand that shampoo is used for scalp care and conditioner for hair care.
Take a diet rich in Vitamin C, E and A, maintain a healthy lifestyle. Take a mixed diet which includes green leafy vegetables, fruits, juice and nuts.

Avoid using products which are irritating for the skin. Especially people using dye to color hair should be careful and should use dye/ color after consulting a dermatologist who can suggest a better option which will not react or harm your skin.
Once in a week you can do scalp massage at home. For oiling hair, you can use any oil but its use should be minimal. There is no need to apply too much oil or to keep oil in hair the whole night. By doing this you might increase the chances of getting dandruff.
Try to protect your scalp from the direct sunlight, wear a cap or scarf while going out in daylight. You can also use hair sunscreen, if required.
Keeping small hair is what can help, though in females it's not always possible. However if you can keep your hair short, it will help you to analyse or examine your scalp health and you can do proper scalp care.

In case you are having some scalp issues or conditions it is very important to get it treated at the earliest. Underlying conditions such as thyroid or liver/ kidney condition should be treated for a healthy scalp.
Avoid doing self-medications for scalp and hair care.
