We know the scrub of the face or the scrub of the body. But few are those who know the hair scrub. A very often overlooked area. Yet this technique can avoid many hair problems. Not to mention all the benefits of a good exfoliation of the scalp.

What is a scalp exfoliation used for?

The hair scrub is a deep cleansing to cleanse the scalp. Sebum, sweat, styling products, dead cells, impurities accumulated on the head can forcefully clog pores and disrupt the sebaceous glands. This causes an overproduction of sebum, recurrent washing and ultimately scalp problems. Hence the interest of purifying the hair fiber.

The benefits of hair scrub

This hair treatment purifies the scalp by eliminating dandruff, dead skin, product residue, pollutants and all other impurities accumulated on the surface of the head.

Massaging the scalp with the exfoliating agent stimulates blood circulation by providing oxygen which promotes hair growth and shine. Circular movements also make it possible to take off the roots to have more volume and lightness.

Deep cleansing rebalances the PH and regulates sebum secretion, ideal for spacing out shampoos.
