We know it:exfoliation of the skin is an important step if you want to maintain beautiful skin. Indeed, removing dead cells contributes to cell renewal and also refines skin texture. Recently, a new category of products has appeared on the hair care aisle:scalp scrubs. Purely marketing creation? Nay! With the increasing use of styling products and dry shampoo, and the tendency to wash your hair less regularly, exfoliating the scalp has become an important gesture. The exfoliation makes it possible to rid the scalp of product residues and dead cells, but also to stimulate it, which stimulates growth. Bonus:the scrub soothes itching and purifies dandruff-prone scalps and cleanses oily roots.
Whatever the product chosen (see our selection below), the instructions for use are essentially the same. Once or twice a week, apply the product to wet hair by massaging the scalp (as you would for a facial scrub). Then, rinse well and follow with a conditioner to moisturize the tips. We tested:the hair is very clean and light. Good to know:if you want to test the effect of exfoliation before investing in a product, you can add coarse salt to a hair mask.
