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.
