It’s common knowledge exfoliation removes dead skin cells and promotes cell turnover – regardless of where it occurs. That’s why I make scrubs to exfoliate my face, body, hands, feet, and lips. Why leave out your scalp?
Why Use a DIY Scalp Scrub?
The scalp is no different than the skin on your lips, hands, or anywhere else.
Your scalp can benefit from a little extra TLC, too!
Clean hair follicles are crucial to maintaining healthy hair and promoting hair growth. Daily use of a variety of hair products causes buildup. In addition to typical dead skin cells accumulating on the scalp.
All of which adds up to clogged hair follicles, dull, greasy hair, and slower hair growth.

Moisturize and hydrate hair with coconut oil. It’s packed with antioxidants and vitamins for healthy hair. Did you know it helps to prevent frizzy hair? (Find coconut oil in my DIY natural hair conditioner.)
Sugar: 2 tablespoons
It’s a gentle, natural exfoliant. I love using pure cane sugar to create body and lip scrubs. In this DIY scalp scrub, sugar buffs away buildup, dandruff, and dead skin cells. By exfoliating the scalp, sugar unclogs follicles and boosts scalp circulation to stimulate hair growth.
Apple Cider Vinegar: 1 teaspoon
Haven’t you heard? Nothing makes hair clean and shiny like apple cider vinegar! Use it in this scalp scrub for dandruff and oily locks. Apple cider vinegar lifts the impurities that cause scalp buildup. And as a hair rinse, it smoothes frizzy hair.
Honey: 1 teaspoon
Honey is an incredible natural resource of nutrients, enzymes, and vitamins that help to restore the scalp during the mask treatment.
Rosemary Essential Oil: 3 drops
Encourage blood flow to the scalp and stimulate hair follicles with rosemary essential oil, in addition to balancing oil from the sebum glands and clearing clogged pores.
