Have you ever heard of scalp exfoliation? It might not be something that's on your radar, but it's actually a really simple and effective way to promote a healthy scalp and hair.
Our scalps can accumulate buildup over time from dead skin cells, excess oil, and product residue. AND the scalp ages 3 times faster than your regular skin.
Product and dead skill cell accumulation can lead to clogged hair follicles, dandruff, and even hair loss. By exfoliating your scalp, you can remove this buildup and stimulate blood flow to the scalp, which can promote healthy hair growth.
Here's how to do it:
-
Start with dry hair and use a brush or comb to remove tangles.
-
Section your hair into manageable sections and clip in place if needed.
-
Choose an exfoliating product that works best for your hair and scalp type. There are scrubs, brushes, and even scalp masks available.
-
Apply the product to your scalp, focusing on areas with buildup or dryness. Use your fingertips or an exfoliating brush to gently massage the product into your scalp.
-
Rinse thoroughly with warm water and make sure to remove all traces of the exfoliating product.
-
Condition your hair to restore moisture and hydration.
It's important to exfoliate your scalp once or twice a week, depending on your hair and scalp type. If you have a sensitive scalp, make sure to choose a gentle exfoliating product and be careful when massaging it into your scalp.
Incorporating scalp exfoliation into your hair care routine can make a big difference in the health and appearance of your hair. If you are looking for density gains...it's a MUST!
