Many people suffer from scalp problems such as dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis. Associated with hair breakage and loss of luster, poor scalp health can lead to premature hair loss.
Scalp health is often taken for granted, but we are becoming more focused on our hair, shampooing and finding the right conditioner. Therefore, scalp health is also very important.
The health of your scalp determines the health of your hair, so it’s important to keep your scalp healthy. A healthy scalp is free of flaking, dandruff, redness or irritation, dryness, or scalp infections.
So one of the best ways to keep your scalp healthy is with a scalp scrub. Nothing beats using sugar because sugar is a natural exfoliant.
Here are two easy sugar scalp scrubs you can make at home.
Why Should You Use A Scalp Scrub?
Benefits of using a scalp scrub help remove excess dead skin cells, excess sebum, dirt, product buildup and dandruff just like using a face scrub to exfoliate your skin. .
Scalp scrubs increase blood circulation by dilating the blood vessels under the skin, which promotes hair growth.
Scalp scrubs remove dandruff by deeply cleansing the hair from the roots and reducing sebum production.
Scalp scrubs boost the production of collagen (a structural protein found in skin) and also stimulates hair growth.
