What makes a good scalp exfoliator?

Body peeling is a procedure familiar to everyone. When taking a shower, many women do not forget to scrub the skin of their arms, legs, and buttocks to make the skin soft and smooth. A lot has been said and written about the benefits that exfoliation of dead particles brings to the skin. However, little is said about scalp exfoliation, which can help relieve many problems and improve hair condition.

The scalp is hidden under the hair, and we often forget about it, remembering only when dandruff, itching or hair loss appears. We start changing shampoos, conditioners, hair dyes and even diet, forgetting about quick and easy peeling.

Sebum and residue from cosmetic products clog hair follicles. This causes skin itching, peeling and irritation. If you regularly scrub the skin in this area, the hair follicles will be gently cleansed and saturated with oxygen, this will help a lot.

If you feel itching, the strands look withered and lifeless - peeling will help. A scalp scrub at home is an inexpensive, accessible and effective method that is in no way inferior to purchased products.

Regular scrub massage:

stimulates blood circulation;

removes dead cells;

promotes new hair growth;

cleanses the skin, it becomes smooth and moisturized.

If you notice small pustules on your head, try a scrub. This may be a sign of blocked hair follicles. It should be remembered that you should not overdo it with peeling. Excessive and severe peeling can lead to skin irritation. Never use a scrub if there are open wounds or severe damage to the surface.

From 28 Sep 2018

Although if you ever complain to a trichologist about dandruff, dryness, oiliness or hair loss, you will probably receive advice to give him a chance. We looked at what kind of head scrubs there are and how to use them, using the example of seven such products of different prices and formats.

A scalp scrub is especially effective for styling fans: with frequent use of products for volume or strong hold, their residues are not completely washed out, and this disrupts the functioning of the sebaceous glands. The scrub is also effective for those who face scalp problems or whose hair quickly loses its fresh appearance. In these cases, shampooing may not be sufficient. The scrub will help you cope with the task - thoroughly cleanse your scalp. The composition and consistency of this scrub are designed so that the particles are easily washed out and at the same time gently cleanses the skin. The frequency of use is different for everyone. But in any case, the scrub is not created for daily use and is rather a therapeutic scalp treatment.

Redken Glow Dry Gloss Scrub

Price: 1,750 rubles

Surprisingly, the manufacturer classifies this scrub as a styling product. The fact is that if you regularly dry, straighten or curl your hair, a whole ton of styling products accumulate on it. Washing this off (especially from long hair) is a real epic. This is why you need a scrub with argan peel. It should be used before washing your hair with shampoo. Just distribute a handful of product along the length, massage and rinse with plenty of water. The scrub does not contain surfactants, so it does not foam on its own - get ready for long water procedures. But there will be no trace left of varnishes, foams and dry shampoos, and the healthy oils in the composition will leave behind a pleasant shine.

Sea buckthorn scalp scrub Natura Siberica

price: 450 rubles

If you are new to using scrubs, start with such a budget product - at the same time decide whether you need it. It's also free of foamy sulfates, so you'll get a whole handful of this oil-vitamin cocktail for just one crown. Get ready to massage and rinse for a long time (as you may have guessed, any scrub gets tangled in your hair). Actually, all the salt of the scrub is in the massage. With its help, you increase blood flow to the head, and your hair grows beautiful and healthy. At the same time, get rid of dead cells, dirt and dry shampoo residue.

Scalp peeling with bamboo extract Ollin Professional

Ollin has an alternative to almost any expensive hair product, only five times cheaper. And in the case of a scrub, it’s even more convenient: the Russian brand offers to replace it with a peeling that does not contain solid particles. Ten small tubes, each containing 15 milliliters, are used once a week for a course of two and a half months. Ollin peeling does not promise to miraculously get rid of dandruff or eliminate styling marks. It was made for those who suffer from oily scalp, are forced to wash their hair every day and don’t mind doing it less often. Due to the absence of particles, it can be used before or after shampoo. Don't expect miracles, though. You will simply be able to wash your hair less often, your hair will become fuller, long-awaited baby hair will appear and, perhaps, dandruff will bother you less. Ollin peeling is reminiscent of brushing your teeth: a healthy habit, but for the wow effect you need to go to the salon.

Davines Detoxifying Shampoo-Scrub

Davines shampoo-scrub is needed on the shelf for those who complain of weakened scalp. Sensitivity, peeling, irritation - if you notice any of these, you should contact him. The shampoo is designed for constant use, so the particles are small and smooth, like in cleansers. It will gradually revive dry skin and bring it back to life. Your hair will become indecently soft, dandruff may become a thing of the past, and sebum will appear where it was so lacking. Therefore, the product is not suitable for those with oily scalps - they will be disappointed and forced to wash it every day.

Christophe Robin Sea Salt Cleansing Scrub

In the description of this budget-friendly sea salt scrub, the familiar word “detox” shines like a neon sign. It is unclear what toxins on the top of the head we are talking about. But if your skin is oily or flaky (or sometimes both), this is the best way to let it know who's boss. The most pleasant property of this particular scrub is the complete absence of dancing with a tambourine. Already from the first use, a feeling of freshness and cleanliness appears, after some time the dandruff goes back. The mixture of salts, extracts and oils smells very pleasant like an expensive spa, and the process of use itself surprisingly does not irritate even sensitive skin. Use once or twice a week in combination with a moisturizing conditioner - and you will never regret spending that amount on some kind of scalp scrub.

price: 3,990 rubles

Finally, pleasant and optional, like a cherry on the cake, the Kérastase scrub. It does not solve health problems, does not save you from dandruff or oiliness. It's just a very pleasant procedure in a tube. The scrub removes any remaining styling products, leaving hair soft and silky. Then there are shampoos, conditioners, masks, etc. Otherwise, this is a wonderful caring procedure that you can live without, but it’s more pleasant to live with. And this is a completely worthy reason to buy it.

Homemade hair care products will provide benefits without breaking the bank. Prepare a scalp scrub using the recipes from our new article.

What are the benefits of scrubs?

Like other parts of the body, the skin of the scalp is regularly renewed. Old, dead cells on its surface, together with secretions from the sebaceous glands, create a layer that interferes with skin breathing.

Exfoliating procedures using scrubs provide a number of beneficial effects:

• Removes particles of dead cells and styling product residues from the skin surface
• Combats oily skin and hair
• Stimulates blood circulation in the scalp area, which helps improve hair nutrition and rapid growth
• Helps prevent dandruff formation
• Prepares the epidermis for the effects of scalp masks

Like all other exfoliating treatments, scalp scrubs should not be used too often. For dry hair, it is permissible to use a homemade scrub no more than once a month. For normal to oily hair, you can use the scrub once every 2 weeks.

How to apply the scrub

1. The scrub is applied to the scalp before washing your hair. It is not advisable to apply it to clean hair, since the natural fat layer will protect it from injury during the procedure.
2. Moisturize your hair and scalp. Apply the scrub evenly, distributing it along the partings in the root zone. Pay special attention to the hair growth border areas along the entire perimeter of the scalp area.
3. Use your fingertips to massage the skin for 5 minutes.
4. Rinse off the scrub with warm water.
5. If the scrub contains oils, you can use a small amount of shampoo when washing your hair after using it.
6. If the scrub contains nutritional components (honey, oils, dairy products, herbal infusions, etc.) - before rinsing, leave it on the head for another 10-15 minutes, covering the head with film and a towel.
7. If there are wounds or inflammations on the scalp, do not use the scrub!

What can you make a scrub from?

The main component of the scrub is solid particles that have an abrasive effect. They should not be too large or rough so as not to scratch the scalp. Several products that you will find in your kitchen are suitable as the basis for a homemade scrub: salt, sugar, ground coffee, oatmeal.

Honey-salt scrub

If you have sea salt, use it: it has a richer microelement composition. But ordinary table salt is also quite suitable as an abrasive for scrubbing. For scrubs, you need to use finely ground salt, without aromatic additives. Coarser salt may scratch the skin. If there is no fine grain, you should grind it in a blender and sift it.

4 tsp. salt;

2 tbsp. l. thin honey.

Sugar and clay scrub

2 tbsp. l. Sahara;

1 tbsp. l. pharmaceutical cosmetic clay;

2 tbsp. water, green tea or a decoction of medicinal herbs.

Sugar-oil scrub

2 tbsp. l. Sahara;

1 tbsp. l. any vegetable oil (sunflower, olive, burdock, almond or grape seed oil);

2 drops essential oil (tea tree, rosemary or almond).

Coffee

Ground natural coffee is used in scrubs in two ways: in its original form and in the form of coffee grounds after brewing. Coffee grounds are gentler and softer, and do not color the hair as much. That is, using thickener is preferable for dry, sensitive skin or light hair. It is useful for brunettes to leave the applied coffee scrub on for 10-15 minutes; blondes will have to wash it off immediately.

Oil-coffee nourishing scrub

2 tbsp. l. ground coffee;

1 tbsp. burdock or castor oil;

2 drops cinnamon essential oil.

Nourishing coffee grounds scrub

2 tsp coffee grounds;

1 egg yolk;

1 tsp honey;

1 tsp lemon juice.

Oatmeal

For an oatmeal scrub, use oatmeal ground in a blender, which is poured with warm water for 5-10 minutes until it swells. Based on them, a very gentle scrub with a nourishing effect is obtained. It will be enhanced by the addition of fermented milk products or herbal decoction.

2 tbsp. dry ground flakes, soaked in water and squeezed out;

2 tbsp. mineral water, kefir or herbal decoction.

Any of the above recipes can be changed and combined to suit your taste. Making a scalp scrub is a creative process!

Now I’m doing a course of masks from oils, I want to nourish my hair for the summer, because... Last summer my hair got very burnt and I still cut off the split ends.

I once came across an article that with regular use of oil masks, the scalp becomes clogged and the effect is reduced. To avoid this, you need to exfoliate the scalp.

For a long time I was looking for what and how best to do it, I bought regular sea salt, tried it in the bathroom, while I was showering, I didn’t understand how to rub it in, in the end I scoured the Internet again and decided to make this scrub:

-A bag of clay (I used blue), it cleanses well, including from silicones;

-A few tablespoons of regular table salt;

-Hair balm, also about 2 tablespoons, otherwise the clay will begin to harden;

-Hot water.

Mix well until a homogeneous mass is obtained, I got thick sour cream, there is no need for it to be thinner, otherwise the clay may leak.

I was worried that the salt would dissolve and there would be no such effect, but in vain, nothing dissolved.

It turned out a lot, because... I overdid it with water. Enough for 2 times.

I combed my hair well, applied the mixture to the partings, then massaged it thoroughly. Don't forget that it contains salt, and don't rub too hard, it can damage your skin. I forgot about it, fortunately I didn’t spoil anything, but my head was burning well.

After massaging my head, I applied a nourishing mask to the ends, put on a bag and a hat for 10 minutes, that’s enough.

You can apply clay to the entire length, but it is better to do it without salt, because... It dries out my hair very much.

Everything washes off easily, I only washed my hair once with shampoo. You can use deep cleansing shampoo to achieve maximum effect.

The effect is visible immediately and does not require much time.

Result: 2 days have passed, my hair looks like I washed it a couple of hours ago! My hair is not rough or dry, although I only expected this kind of effect from clay! They are soft and fluffy (for some this is a minus, but not for me). The undercoat of new hair immediately became visible, apparently because of the oils it “stuck.”

In general, I am satisfied with the procedure, I did not expect such an effect, I will do it once a month, more often I don’t see the point, because... I don't use any styling products.

Of the minuses: It’s worth doing before a manicure)) The clay is absorbed into the nails, cuticles, it’s a sight, just washing your hands well is not enough.
