After the exciting and hectic holiday season, we all like to unwind, relax and detox. What better way to detox and cleanse your scalp that using a scrub?
Just like your skin, scalp needs scrubbing and care too. We have already seen how scalp is an extension of your skin and should be treated as such. Using a good scalp scrub is important to clarify and cleanse your scalp and get rid of accumulation and residue.
Residue form sweat, grime, and products we apply on our hair and scalp and pollution from the environment tend to accumulate when scalp isn’t cleansed right. A good detoxifying scrub can get your scalp cleansed, clarified and breathing again.
