The skin of the scalp greatly influences the look of your hair; therefore, keeping this skin healthy and clean is key to having beautiful hair.
Exfoliation is a way to keep our scalp in good condition. Today, we explain the essentials of this technique.
HOW TO PROPERLY CARRY
OUT THE EXFOLIATION PROCESS?
Scalp exfoliation is usually performed after shampooing, on wet hair. After combing your hair, apply the scrub with your fingertips and gently massage your scalp in circular motions.
You can also use a specific brush or glove for this purpose. When finished, remove the exfoliating product with water.
WHAT ARE THE REAL
BENEFICTS OF EXFOLIATING THE SCALP?
Reduces excessive oil production
Exfoliation can help reduce oil production in the scalp. It also helps remove dirt and oil build-up that is often responsible for making your hair look greasy. By removing these impurities, your scalp stays clean and your hair looks better and healthier.
Helps remove dead cells
Although our body naturally replace dead skin cells with new ones, you can give your skin a helping hand with exfoliation. This also applies to the scalp.
Even though hair is made of cells that are technically no longer living (that's why we don't feel any pain when we cut it), the scalp is part of the skin and is made up of living cells. For this reason, it needs maintenance just like the rest of our body's skin.
Scalp exfoliation helps remove dead cells, oiliness and even other impurities.
Improves the look of our hair
Mechanical exfoliation helps improve blood circulation in the scalp, keeping the hair follicles in good condition.
In addition, exfoliating the scalp can help improve the appearance of the hair, as when the scalp is clean and healthy, it is easier to comb and style.
4 SIGNS YOU MIGHT NEED
TO START EXFOLIATING YOUR SCALP
We present you 4 signs which may indicate that you need to implement a hair exfoliation routine in your life.
1. Product accumulation
If you regularly use several products in your hair routine, it is likely that some residues will accumulate on the scalp. This can lead to your hair looking dull or greasy. Product build-up may cause some itching or irritation. Exfoliation will help remove any excess product and contribute to lighter, cleaner, and more beautiful hair.
2. Persistent dandruff
Dandruff is a common situation and is manifested by the appearance of white flakes on the scalp. Exfoliation can help remove dead skin cells and help control it.
3. Quickly greasy hair
If your hair gets greasy quickly, even after washing, this could be a sign that your scalp needs a deeper cleaning. By removing excess impurities and oiliness, exfoliation will help keep your hair looking clean for longer.
4. Acne on the scalp
When the problem is oiliness and the accumulation of impurities on the skin, we often come across acne phenomena, in their various forms. When it comes to the scalp, it's no different: the presence of acne can be a sign that the scalp needs better cleaning, achieved through scalp exfoliation.
Include exfoliation in your hair routine, 1 to 2 times a week. Adding this step to your hair care can result in cleaner, more beautiful hair for a longer period of time.
