Why you need a scalp scrub in your beauty routine

Adding a scalp scrub into your hair cleansing regime can help to improve the look and feel of your hair. The health of your scalp is essential to the shiny appeareance and super-soft texture of your hair as a clean, exfoliated scalp is the perfect environment for healthy hair growth.

Why is scalp exfoliation important?

Where regular shampooing not remove all the dirt on your scalp, a deeply cleansing scalp scrub works to lift away impurities and remove hard-to-budge sweat, oil annd product build-up which helps to keep your hair follicles clear.

As oils and impurities can form a follicle-blocking barrier on your scalp, using a scalp scrub once a week can help to prevent itching, greasiness, ingrown hairs and even hair loss.
