Sugar, salt, honey, oil, and coffee will cleanse your skin, get rid of dandruff, and restore strength and shine to your hair. Let us find out more in this article.
Why do you need scrubs for the head and hair?
Due to the abrasive particles, scrubs are much more effective than shampoos in removing dead skin cells, dust, hair styling residues, and excess sebum. The skin begins to breathe; the hair grows faster and gets less dirty.
Depending on the formulation, scrubs can also nourish and moisturize the skin, add shine to hair, and fight dandruff or excess oiliness. Also, massage improves blood circulation to the scalp.
How to use scrubs
If you have oily hair, use the scrubs once a week, if dry and normal, once every 2-3 weeks. Scrub only hair roots and skin. You don’t need to wash your head before this; just moisten it with warm water. After the procedure, wash your hair as usual.
Don’t scrub if you have damaged skin or are allergic to the product’s components, and in the first few days after dyeing your hair: active mechanical action can accelerate color loss.
