Scalp scrub

From TV screens we are told that we need to take care of our body and face using various scrubs and peels. But they are silent about hair scrubs. Manufacturers of “miracle shampoos” promise to rid us of dandruff or sebaceous impurities. But in reality there is no amazing effect. Therefore, in this article we will talk and tell you about head scrub recipes that have been tested by many women.

Homemade scalp scrub

A scalp scrub is really necessary to cleanse:

• sebum;
• dead cells;
• dust;
• detergent residues;
• sprays, varnishes, masks, etc.

In the hope of getting rid of greasy hair or dandruff, we buy expensive shampoos. But this is not enough for the scalp, because it also needs good cleansing. Therefore, for healthy hair growth, it is necessary to use scrubs.

This product can be prepared easily and without hassle at home.

The composition of the scrub should consist of a base, i.e. base and additional components.

The main component of the cleanser is salt or sugar. These products dissolve easily in water and are washed off without much difficulty. For this reason, grainy bases - coffee, rice, oatmeal - are not suitable.

Regular salt or white sugar will do, as the main goal is cleansing. Therefore, you should not waste your money on more expensive products.

An important point: scrubs with sea salt should not be done often. Maximum once a week for a month, and then take a break. There are no restrictions on sugar scrub.

Additional components may include:

• essential oils;
• fermented milk products;
• eggs;
• honey;
• decoction of medicinal herbs, etc.

All components can not only cleanse the scalp, but also nourish the hair, making it healthier.

Homemade scrub recipes:

• The easiest way is to mix sugar or salt with cold water until a paste forms. Before use, it is better not to wet your hair, otherwise the product may quickly melt.
• For sensitive skin: mix the base with carrier oils - apricot, olive, peach, etc.
• The third method is a foaming scrub. Take the required amount of detergent, half the base oil of the shampoo and base. Mix until porridge forms. Apply using previous technology.

You should hold such a burning product for no more than 1 minute, otherwise the likelihood of getting a burn increases. After finishing the procedure, rinse your hair with a decoction of chamomile.
• For gentle cleansing, prepare a scrub with fermented milk products. Add a little kefir, fermented baked milk or any other product to the sugar. Leave the product on for 15-20 minutes. Your hair will gain a radiant shine and become manageable.
• For oily hair A mask with blue clay is suitable. Take 1 tbsp. spoon of dry clay and mix with 3 tbsp. spoons of sugar or salt. Dilute with water to obtain porridge. After application, leave the product on for 5-10 minutes.
• Apple cider vinegar scrub is also used for oily hair. But before use, test for an allergic reaction. It is best done on the elbow bend. If the result is negative, then add 1 teaspoon to the base and apply to the scalp with massaging movements.
• For dry skin masks are prepared from honey and cream. Mix 1 tbsp. honey with sugar or salt, then add cream until you get a paste. After applying the scrub, leave it on for 20-25 minutes. This product moisturizes the skin well and helps get rid of dandruff.
