Detox Scalp Therapy
What is Detox Scalp Therapy?
A scalp detox involves massaging the scalp with an exfoliating scrub or oil to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and clear away dirt and product buildup from hair follicles. This method can be performed at home by brushing or using an over-the-counter scrub, or in a salon where a more luxurious and effective treatment is available.
Aesthetic clinics often use steam to loosen buildup, followed by a thorough scrub and a scalp-focused shampoo and conditioner. The process of deep scalp cleansing helps remove dirt, grime, and product residue that have accumulated on the scalp and hair follicles, promoting a healthy scalp environment and preventing issues like itching and irritation.
The use of a high-pressure exfoliation spray or chemical exfoliants like salicylic acid may aid in the process. A detox solution with aloe vera and hyaluronic acid is also commonly used to cleanse and deeply hydrate the scalp. Similar to facial care, even if you wash your hair daily, a scalp detox is still necessary to maintain the overall health of your hair.
