Many people regularly do scrubbing for the face and body, but such a procedure for hair is not included in the list of mandatory rituals for everyone, but in vain. Of course, there are special means, methods and secrets for such a specific hair peeling. However, there is no doubt about its benefits.
What does this procedure give?
This helps to remove unnecessary top layer of skin, oil and hair product residues that would not rinse off under normal conditions. All this gives several advantages at once:
- - in addition to improving the condition of the skin, the hair acquires a pleasant smoothness and shine;
- - if the hair naturally curls, then the curl will become more elastic;
- - peeling is able to normalize the activity of the sebaceous glands, so the head will stay fresh longer;
- - stimulates the growth of new hair;
- - after the third procedure, hair loss is noticeably reduced;
- - the effect of masks and other hair care products used after the scrub is enhanced;
- - massage during the procedure promotes blood flow to the head, which stimulates the flow of nutrients to the follicles.
Who shouldn't have their head scrubbed?
Alas, in some cases it is necessary to completely or temporarily abandon the hair scrub:
- - any damage;
- - irritated or dry scalp;
- - thin brittle hair;
- - increased hair loss;
- - allergy to the ingredients of the scrub;
- - various formations on the skin.
How to do scalp exfoliation effectively?
To be on the safe side, it is worth conducting a test on the bend of the elbow. If after 10 minutes the skin remains calm, you can start the procedure. First of all, it is better to make up a convenient head scrubbing regimen for yourself, since it is done in courses lasting two to three months (3-4 months should pass between courses). The full course consists of 8-10 procedures. In terms of frequency, damaged hair can be scrubbed once every 14 days, and oily hair at weekly intervals.
The scrub should be applied to unwashed wet hair from the back of the head to the forehead. In no case should it be rubbed into the skin forcibly. Usually the peeling itself lasts about 10 minutes. If the product also has nutritional properties, it must be held for an additional 15-20 minutes.
In addition, some ready-to-use scrubs come with a built-in shampoo (exfoliant). If this is not the case, shampoo should be used after rinsing off the product. As mentioned above, after the procedure, various rinses and masks will be especially effective.
The simplest is salt, sugar and charcoal scrub for the scalp. Sugar (salt) - 2-4 tbsp, depending on the length of the hair; shampoo - 1-2 tablespoons; vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon; essential oil - 5-10 drops. Mix, apply. A brilliant result is guaranteed!
You also need to be prepared for the fact that after peeling, dyed hair becomes dull in terms of color. Serums and sprays with a radiant and long-lasting hydration effect will help to give such hair a more radiant appearance. For example, use the line #Aveda Brilliant, Home spa organic.
