Scrub your scalp: The benefits of a scalp scrub

We all know and probably do scrub our face or body sometimes. It feels great, doesn't it, that smooth, soft skin as a result! Scrubbing your scalp is just as nice. Dead skin cells, flakes, but also residue from styling products easily get stuck between your hairs. So it's time for the ultimate way to address that! Besides cleansing your scalp, a scalp scrub has many more benefits. You can read about them in this blog! 

Exfoliating 

Removing dead skin cells, bacteria, excess oils, and residue from styling products is also called exfoliating. This exfoliation can be done in 3 ways:  

1. With the help of enzymes: a gentle way to remove dead skin cells with the help of natural substances that actively digest proteins. 
2. Chemical: exfoliation based on acids, which penetrate deep into the skin, remove dead skin cells and accelerate cell renewal.  
3. Mechanical: dead skin cells are abraded from the skin by means of a product with a grain, i.e., a scrub.  

Part of the HEAD SPA 

We discovered the scalp scrub through Head Spa treatments. Something wonderful that has blown over from Japan. Maximum relaxation through flowing warm water, delightful scents, a cleansing scrub, a wonderful massage, and being pampered with the most nourishing shampoos, a rich oil, and hair masks. Head Spa treatments are often an addition to beauty salons. You still see it rarely at hairdressers, and that's a shame. You don't have to offer a whole treatment; you can easily offer one or more elements in your hair salon. For example, the scalp scrub! Because besides cleansing and relaxing your scalp, a scalp scrub has many other benefits that are beneficial for the hair! 

Many benefits 

We list them for you: 

• First of all, of course, the removal of dead skin cells. Your scalp is clean, fresh, and wonderfully soft again. 
• Besides dead skin cells, you also remove product residues: leftover mousse, gel, shampoo, conditioner, or hairspray can quickly form a layer on your scalp. This can clog your pores. With a scrub, you remove these product residues, and your scalp can breathe again. 
• And flakes: a flaky or dry scalp can sometimes cause itching and irritation. By removing flakes through scrubbing, you also reduce the chance of itching or irritation of the scalp.  
• That cleaner scalp also ensures better absorption of care products: a clean scalp absorbs care products much better. They don't first have to struggle through a layer of dead skin cells but can be absorbed immediately and effectively by the skin.  
• A cleaner scalp also means better hair growth: in addition to pores, scrubbing also keeps hair follicles free from blockages. This stimulates hair growth. 
• Scrubbing stimulates blood circulation: by massaging, you stimulate blood circulation, which means nutrients and oxygen are transported better to the hair follicles. And that contributes to the health of your hair. It becomes stronger, fuller, grows better, and shows less hair breakage. 
• Better circulation à less dandruff and other hair problems: the healthier the scalp, the less likely you are to suffer from hair loss or dandruff. Due to better circulation, your scalp is healthier and better able to stay that way. 
• Also less greasy hair: a scrub contributes to restoring the natural balance of your scalp. If you tend to have greasy hair quickly, you will notice that scrubbing reduces this.  

Plenty of reasons to go for that scalp scrub. It's good for your scalp, hair, and mind! What do you need? Argan Oil Treatment, Repair Conditioner and soluble scrub salt. First, mix the argan oil and conditioner in a ratio that suits your hair and scalp. For dry hair, use a bit more oil; for finer hair, less. Finally, add the soluble scrub salt. Massage in wonderfully and then rinse your hair well. Feel the difference?
