If you wear a tudung daily, the key habits are drying your hair fully before covering, choosing breathable inner caps, washing inner caps often, avoiding very tight ties, and washing your scalp regularly with a mild shampoo. Persistent itch or flaking is worth a scalp check.
Moisture and heat
Covering damp hair traps moisture and warmth, which can leave the scalp itchy or oily. Research links scalp yeasts to dandruff in oily, warm conditions.
Tension
Very tight buns or ties pulling on the same spot for years can stress hair at the hairline. Change the position and keep it loose.
Simple routine
Wash regularly, dry roots fully, use cotton or breathable inner caps and keep spares to swap.
