Don't shower with hot water, tepid or cold water is better. Hot water washes off most of your oils and dries out your skin. Brush your scalp with a brush everyday. That will keep it clean from flakes and oil build up.
Here is the best body and hair routine that works for the average man:
1. Rinse yourself in a shower with cool or tepid (not heated) water everyday, especially after a sweaty workout or job, with no soap or shampoo.
2. Brush your scalp with a brush everyday, combing your hair afterwards. (This includes your beard, pubes, and armpits. Consider having at least two brushes or washing thoroughly between uses.)
3. Eat a healthy and balanced diet, avoid excessively greasy or sugary foods. Avoid sodas, smoking, coffee, tea, and overconsuming milk or dairy.
4. Get an hours worth of outdoor time every day (in the sun preferably).
5. Workout regularly.
6. Shower once a week with shampoo and soap. Do not use heated water or a scrub brush, but use a wash cloth and work top-down.
7. Clean behind and around the inside of your ear(not going into the earhole), your belly button, and your foreskin often with a q-tip (every day or every other day).
8. Floss and rinse with saltwater everyday. Only do this outside 30 minutes of eating. If your breath smells particularly bad, gargle and rinse with mouthwash and check for tonsil stones.
9. Brush your teeth once a week. Brushing too often weakens the natural yellow enamel. Not brushing at all causes plaque build up and allows enamel to become an unsightly yellow. Healthy balance is about a week if your diet has been healthy and you don't smoke or drink sodas/coffee, but this is variable. Only brush outside 30 minutes of eating. Rinse and gargle with mouthwash.
10. Take a hot salt bath once a month. Good for aches and for your skin. Reccomend doing it the Japanese way (do a quick wash in a shower, not a shampoo/soap wash, then run a hot bath). Substitute your usual weekly shampoo shower with this instead.
