DIY Scalp Scrub

Are You Exfoliating Your Scalp?

Is your scalp feeling itchy due to scalp buildup, dandruff, or grease? Apply an easy DIY scalp scrub to clean scalp build and promote hair growth.

If you ask any beauty maven if she exfoliates, she’ll likely respond that she exfoliates her feet, knees, elbows, lips, or face.

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.

Detox Your Scalp for Beautiful, Healthy Hair

This two-step scalp detoxth a clarifying scalp massage to exfoliate and remove the buildup of hair products, oil, and dead skin cells to allow your scalp to breathe—followed by a mask to detoxify your hair roots, oil glands, and follicles.

By following each step, you will clear clogged hair follicles with a DIY scalp scrub and detox for healthy, shiny hair!

Are you ready to detox your scalp?

Here’s what you’ll need:

Coconut Oil: 1 tablespoon

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.

How Often Should You Apply a Scalp Scrub?

Once a month is ideal for a normal to dry scalp. Apply twice a month for oily hair prone to becoming greasy.
