Scrub for the scalp at home
A scalp scrub is really necessary to cleanse from:
- sebum;
- dead cells;
- dust;
- residues of detergents;
- sprays, varnishes, masks, etc.
In the hope of getting rid of greasy shine or dandruff, we buy expensive shampoos. But this is not enough for the scalp, because it also needs a good cleansing. Therefore, scrubs are essential for healthy hair growth.
Such a remedy can be easily and without hassle prepared 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 easily washed off. For this reason, granular bases such as coffee, rice, oatmeal are not suitable.
Regular salt or white sugar will work as the main goal is cleansing. Therefore, do not waste your money on more expensive products.

Additional components can be:
- essential oils;
- dairy products;
- eggs;
- honey;
- decoction of medicinal herbs, etc.
All components are able not only to cleanse the scalp, but also to nourish the hair, making it healthier.
