Sometimes, you just need a good detox.
Specifically, a scalp detox. Getting your scalp squeaky clean is so much more than washing your hair. Like all of the other skin on your body, your scalp absorbs anything you put onto it.
The build up of those applications can cause serious issues for your scalp that can lead to all kinds of unwanted issues like dryness, dandruff, excess oil, and more. If you’ve been hoping to restore the natural balance of your noggin, then a scalp detox is the answer.
Think of a scalp detox as a facial for your scalp. By massaging the scalp using a brush or exfoliating scrub, dead skin cells can be cleared out, clogged pores unclogged, and build up can be removed.
Of course, you’re completely capable of detoxing your scalp at home. The first step is brushing your hair regularly. This helps to loosen anything that’s gotten a little too cozy on your scalp, as well as helping with the distribution of oils.
If you need a little more oomph, you can do an exfoliation treatment at home. From sugar-based scalp scrubs to DIY clay hair masks, these remedies can easily be done from the comfort of your own space.
Of course, there’s nothing quite like treating yourself to a day at the salon. Leaving the deep clean up to the professionals means that you get to sit back and relax while your scalp gets treated.
