Peeling, or exfoliation, is the process of removing the stratum corneum of the epidermis. As a result, blood begins to circulate more actively, cells receive more nutrients, which affects the condition of the skin, its appearance improves, it becomes younger and healthier. The scalp also needs care, perhaps more delicate than the skin in other parts of the body. This procedure will help get rid of itching, irritation, help get rid of dandruff, cleanse the hair of cosmetic residues, dust and dirt, and strengthen its roots.

How to prepare for peeling at home

To get the most benefit from a scalp peel, you need to prepare thoroughly. If the procedure is carried out for health and preventive purposes, then you need to make sure that there are no wounds or cracks on the skin. Oily hair should be washed before the procedure (this does not apply to thin and dry hair).

Separate slightly damp hair into partings to avoid damaging the scalp and prevent tangling. After this, the exfoliant is gently applied. The mixture is left for 10 – 20 minutes. At this time, the scalp is lightly massaged, after which the composition is washed off first with water, then washed with shampoo.

The frequency of scalp peeling at home depends on your hair type. For healthy hair, peeling is carried out once a week. If the hair is thin, dry or damaged - once every 2 weeks. The duration of the course is 2-2.5 months, after some time it is advisable to repeat the course.

Important: If your hair has recently been dyed or has been highlighted, laminated or similar procedures, then you should refrain from this activity, as the scrub can remove the dye.

Scalp peeling should be done if you have the following problems:

• if you need to increase the amount of fat in the epidermis;
• with hyperkeratosis (thickening of the stratum corneum of the epidermis);
• to combat dandruff and seborrhea;
• to strengthen hair if there is slight hair loss;
• to accelerate hair growth and give volume and fullness to hair.

Contraindications

The procedure is not recommended or contraindicated if there are wounds or cracks, the scalp is sensitive or very dry, or if the hair is dry and brittle. The procedure is not recommended for alopecia (baldness) or heavy hair loss. If you have existing oncological tumors, it is better to consult a doctor before peeling.

It should be remembered that the composition used for exfoliation may cause allergies. If there is a reaction to one or more components, then it is better to choose a different composition.

Head peeling with clay

You can get rid of toxins, delicately remove dead skin cells, and strengthen the hair structure with the help of Ghassoul clay. It is of volcanic origin, which gives it special properties that have a beneficial effect on the skin. Add clay to warm water, dilute to a paste-like consistency, distribute evenly on hair. Remove after 5 – 10 minutes.

A mixture of clay and salt

You can prepare a good remedy from a bag of blue clay with salt (1:2 ratio). This is an excellent antiseptic that fights bacteria well. The mixture should sit for 30 minutes, after which you can begin peeling.

Peeling for oily skin

For oily hair types, it is useful to prepare an emulsion using fruit acids. Mix orange and apple juice in equal proportions and heat slightly. Apply, massaging, leave for 15 minutes, then rinse without shampoo.

Scalp peeling with baking soda

If the goal is to overcome excess oiliness in your hair, then you should try baking soda, which prevents the active production of sebum and removes dirt. If your skin is dry, then you should not use baking soda: it will make your hair even drier. The scrub is prepared from a couple of tablespoons of baking soda and water. After the skin has been scrubbed, rinse off the product and do not use shampoo.

If you are short on time, you can use a quick scalp peeling option. To do this, just mix baking soda with shampoo (in equal doses). Massage the skin and rinse with water.

Cocoa and coffee bean scrub

For those with sensitive dermis, we recommend a method that gently cleanses and cares for it. If your skin has pimples, acne or ingrown hairs, this unique peeling will help solve the problems. Take cocoa powder and any oil or shampoo in equal proportions and mix. Use like other mixtures.

Warning: After this peeling, blonde hair acquires a tint.

When preparing the paste for the scrub, you can use rice, wheat proteins, panthenol, vitamins, glycerin, tea tree extract, and seaweed extract. Such emulsions give excellent results.

Salt peeling is one of the best methods of combating the stratum corneum of the skin. As a result of this procedure, dead skin cells are exfoliated, blood circulation is normalized, the structure of the skin is noticeably improved, high-quality metabolism occurs, and the skin is saturated with beneficial nutrients.

A special feature of salt is its activity in the fight against cellulite and aging of the skin. Salt, in combination with certain ingredients, helps in getting rid of crow's feet, shallow wrinkles, freckles and age spots.

Results you can achieve

The undeniable advantages of salt peeling are the following results, which can be achieved through several procedures:

• the structure of the skin of the face, body and head improves;
• the skin is “polished” and becomes fresh and velvety;
• the skin is cleansed of the keratinized layer of dead cells;
• pimples and blackheads dry out;
• regular use guarantees the gradual disappearance of goose bumps;
• scars from acne and acne are smoothed out;
• the skin is “hardened” and thereby rejuvenated;
• detoxification occurs and the skin becomes capable of “breathing”.

The essence of the procedure

The main purpose of salt peeling for the face is to exfoliate the stratum corneum of skin cells, but the composition of the mixture used during the procedure is quite large.

So, the composition includes additional components:

• special oil;
• aromatic additives;
• sea ​​salt;
• honey (not always added, but quite often).

The procedure is carried out as follows:

• The patient’s face is thoroughly washed with warm water;
• the skin is steamed so that the effect of the salt is not too irritating;
• the prepared mixture is applied to the face, starting from the forehead and chin, that is, from where the skin is rougher. The delicate skin around the eyes is treated last;
• the composition stays on the skin for some time, the salt is rubbed in using circular movements with your fingers, and then washed off with warm water;
• the skin is allowed to dry on its own;
• At the end of the procedure, a moisturizing facial cream is applied.

To achieve maximum effect, several procedures are required every ten days. If you have oily skin, you can perform this peeling more often - that is, once or twice a week.

For hair

Salt peeling is used not only for skin rejuvenation, it also has an excellent effect on hair. It perfectly scrubs the scalp, cleanses it of pathogenic microbes, improves blood supply to the scalp, thereby improving their nutrition.

This ultimately leads to rapid hair growth and a healthy shine. Moreover, salt peeling helps normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands, which is very useful for people who suffer from excessively oily hair.

However, if the hair loss does not decrease after the third or fourth procedure, then we can say with confidence that this peeling is not your method.

When exfoliating hair, sea salt enriched with minerals and iodine is used. Most often, salt is finely ground. This is necessary in order not to injure the delicate scalp. For oily scalp, the procedure should be performed twice a month, for normal scalp – once a month. If your skin is very sensitive, be sure to notify a specialist about this, he will add softening ingredients to the composition.

The marine hair peeling procedure is as follows:

• hair is washed thoroughly at least twice;
• The mixture prepared in advance is gently rubbed into the hair roots with soft massage movements. The entire procedure lasts approximately ten to fifteen minutes;
• Finally, the hair is washed with a decoction of medicinal herbs.

For the body

Hot salt body peeling is carried out as follows:

• take a shower, since peeling is carried out exclusively on a clean body;
• the pre-prepared mixture is applied to the body in the following order: first the legs, stomach, then the thighs and buttocks. Please note that the substance is applied using a massage mitt or, as a last resort, using a brush with natural bristles;
• The mixture is applied with active massaging and rotational movements. It is also important to pay attention to your elbows, knees and feet, as they are subject to more wear and tear than the rest of the body. The skin on the chest and abdomen requires gentler movements;
• the evenly distributed scrub is left on the body for five minutes;
• then it is washed off with warm water, after which it is necessary to wipe dry;
• due to the fact that any peeling dries the skin, it is advisable to apply moisturizer to the entire body;
• the cream should be allowed to absorb for ten to fifteen minutes, after which you can get dressed.

This type of peeling gives the following results:

• blood circulation improves;
• toxins and waste are removed, which gives an overall healing effect;
• the figure is corrected, the layer of subcutaneous fat is reduced;
• cellulite level decreases;
• the skin is enriched with oxygen, begins to “breathe”, looks younger and fresh;
• metabolic processes are enhanced;
• has a relaxing effect.

Salt body peeling is also good in combination with other cosmetic procedures, as it serves as a kind of catalyst and enhances their effect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which salt is best to use: plain or sea salt?

Undoubtedly, sea salt will be of great benefit. It has a number of exceptional advantages. However, if it is unavailable, simple salt will do. The main thing is that it is finely ground.

Why is coarse salt not suitable for the procedure?

The skin on the face, scalp and some areas of the body, such as the chest and abdomen, is very delicate and coarse salt can damage it.

Where is it better to do it: in the salon or at home? Does it make sense to overpay?

Salt is an effective and common component in various cosmetics. Using a salt-based scrub has a lot of beneficial effects:

• deep cleansing of the epithelium from mechanical and organic contaminants;
• exfoliation of dead skin particles;
• stimulation of local blood supply improves nutrition and oxygenation of skin cells and hair follicles;
• improved curl growth;
• stabilization of the sebaceous glands;
• prevention and elimination of dandruff and seborrhea;
• improvement of the skin - elimination of itching, inflammation.

Another excellent property of salt peeling is the preparation of the hair and scalp for the effects of other care products: masks, wraps, elixirs and serums.

Is this peeling or not?

Salt scrub can be classified as a type of mechanical peeling for the following reasons:

• the product contains small abrasive substances;
• the effect is on the upper layer of the epithelium.

This determines the similar mechanism of operation of a scrub and mechanical peeling.

Indications for use

A salt scrub effectively copes with various cosmetic problems that arise with the hair and scalp. Given The product is recommended for oily and normal hair, it can also be used if you have dry and thin hair, taking precautions.

Salt scrubbing should be included in the complex of procedures if the following problems arise:

• excessive activity of the sebaceous glands;
• the appearance of dandruff;
• mechanical contamination of the head;
• lack of shine and slow hair growth.

What to choose – sea or cook?

Although table salt, which is available in every home, can be used to prepare a scrub, the use of sea salt is much more effective. This type of this essential substance contains many useful mineral impurities that are necessary for the health of hair and epithelium - micro- and macroelements: potassium, magnesium, iodine, manganese, iron, selenium, copper.

Do not use salt with large crystals— these particles can injure the delicate scalp and damage the hair structure. Crushed “Extra” salt is also not suitable for the procedure - its crystals immediately dissolve in water and other substances.

Important! Maintaining the mineral balance in the cells of the hair follicles ensures their development. The skin of the scalp usually does not receive sufficient nutrition due to its location. The use of mechanical peeling based on sea salt restores all the vital functions of the cells of the scalp and hair.

From the video you will learn about the benefits of sea salt for hair and what scrubs can be made using it:

Hello, my dear readers!

With today’s post I am opening a small series of articles, the topic of which is always relevant and always on time

I called it “PRO-hair”. These articles will contain all the best, what I have tested on myself and what really works!

Purely practice.

And today this article is devoted to the topic of cleansing the hair and scalp.

And not just cleansing, in the sense of regular routine washing.

Namely CLEANING, that is, DEEP cleansing.

It is this cleaning that we will talk about.

What is it - cleaning the hair and scalp, why it needs to be done, why is it so important, why is it useful, what results will you and I get if we use it regularly.

Let's get started, I can't wait...

From this article you will learn:

Cleansing your hair and scalp - what are the benefits and how to do it?

What is hair and scalp cleansing?

This is a deep cleansing of the hair and scalp, so to speak, a CAPITAL cleansing. This is peculiar.

When a fairly powerful cleanser is used, one that we don’t use every day...

In our case (in relation to hair and scalp), we will use a so-called salt scrub for this purpose.

Why do you need to scrub your hair and scalp?

Highlights:

• During deep cleansing of the hair and scalp, a very thorough, deep and effective cleansing (removal of absolutely all impurities from the surface of the hair and scalp) occurs.
• Hair and skin are cleansed, renewed, unnecessary, old sebum is powerfully cleaned off, hair follicles begin to “breathe”, like the entire scalp.
• All impurities are also removed from the hair shaft. This includes pollutants from the air that settle on our hair, sebum that is not washed off (or is not washed off well enough with regular shampoos).
• To all this we can add a huge number of styling products we use, which simply “glue” and completely clog the hair shaft, depriving it of vitality and the ability to “breathe” freely...

Why doesn't my hair grow and masks don't help?

The same thing happens to the scalp and hair follicles, because styling products get on them too!

All this, to put it mildly, does not add any health or beauty to our hair...

They become dull, lifeless, and do not shine at all.

They become thin, begin to fall out, are difficult to style and completely lose volume.

Hair growth is gradually becoming slower and slower, it seems that hair completely stops growing, have you noticed this?

Often dandruff appears, itching of the scalp, hair becomes “greasy” faster than usual, even in those who have never suffered from such problems before!

How often can you hear: “The mask (this or that) DOESN’T work!”…

Of course, but HOW will it work? HOW will it calmly penetrate the hair and scalp? She simply does NOT have such an opportunity, because there is “no access” there due to a huge layer of impurities in the form of sebum, dust, dirt and styling products!!!

Every time we buy more and more expensive masks for hair growth, to strengthen it, for shine and nutrition (moisturizing), but there is ZERO use!

I will offer you a very simple procedure that will help solve these problems “one or two”!

If not immediately, then certainly over several such procedures-sessions!

Cleansing hair and scalp - beneficial properties

So, what results will we get by regularly using this type of cleaning:

• the blood supply to the hair follicles and scalp will increase, which means significant strengthening of the hair and acceleration of its growth!
• Your hair will definitely become more vibrant and shiny!
• Dandruff and itchy scalp will disappear!
• cleansing will open up access to oxygen and nutrients and - oh, miracle! — “suddenly” the masks we use will start working! And we will finally begin to get the results from the procedures that we have been waiting for!
• Hair care will be much easier! And we will no longer need to buy tons of masks, creams, serums and “whatever else is there” for our hair!
• It will become much easier to style your hair, it will become more pliable!
• Your hair will stop falling out completely! Well, perhaps a little... but what would we do without it? Normally, there should be some hair loss every day, yes... There’s no escape from it... Well, not in clumps, as some people experience!
• for those who want to grow their hair, this procedure is simply a SAVE! Girls, your hair is starting to grow incredibly quickly! I have been convinced of this myself more than once!

Yes, what is the beauty of such cleaning is that:

• you can easily do it yourself, at home;
• This is a very simple procedure;
• it takes literally a few minutes;
• very, very affordable! The cost is only half a cup of salt! It’s hard to come up with a budget idea, right, girls?

Salt scrub for scalp

So, the procedure itself:

1. You need to take salt, about half a cup for medium length hair. You will have to decide the amount yourself as you practice.
2. Some people use a whole cup for short hair... Others get by with two tablespoons for long hair...
3. Take salt into a cup (bowl), add a little water there. Just enough to just moisten the salt so that it just becomes NOT dry. But so that it doesn’t get wet and dissolve completely!
4. You need to wash your hair with shampoo, pat dry slightly, and begin to actively rub salt into the scalp. There is no need to rush. Massage the skin thoroughly and rub in.
5. Feel how the scalp “lights up”, how blood begins to flow powerfully to the skin, how the entire surface of the head becomes warm and pulsating!? So you are doing everything right!
6. Give this massage a few minutes, no more is needed! And don't try too hard to avoid tearing off the skin!
7. The final stage: go through your hair, but not the same way as over your skin, of course... Don't rub it too hard! Gently, gently... Just “wipe” your hair. Just as if you were washing them with shampoo, no more, you don’t need to “tear” them too much...

All! The procedure is completed. Be sure to rinse your hair with cool water, even cold if possible! This will cover the hair scales.

Now you can apply some kind of hair mask.

Now your skin and hair are perfectly clean and ready to absorb all the goodness you want to feed them!

And if you don’t have time, you can complete the procedure with a balm-rinse.

You can leave it on your hair longer than usual.

What masks can be applied after cleansing your hair and scalp?

Absolutely any!

It all depends on your requests. Absolutely any mask will be perfectly absorbed and work like a charm.

You can choose mask recipes

How often can you do salt peeling?

You should not do it more than once a week. Some people need it once every ten days.

Why? We all have different hair quality, different scalps in many respects, different speeds of recovery (regeneration). Let's not forget.

That this is still a very powerful procedure and after it both the scalp and hair should recover for some time!

Hair cleansing - which salt to choose?

Yes, any!

You can have a small one, you can have a large one (it cleans better, of course). You can, you can have a simple “Extra”.

At least pink or black Himalayan! The main thing is DO it, then the result will be

The girls I know make different kinds of salt.

And you know, those who use regular “extra” tinder have absolutely excellent results, provided this procedure is REGULAR!

How many procedures do you need to do to feel the result?

Girls, you will feel the results immediately! Or rather, you will see him.

Your hair will definitely become IMMEDIATELY fresher and more manageable!

And problems (loss, dandruff, etc.) can go away differently for everyone... From three to six procedures must be done definitely.

In general, just make this procedure PART of your REGULAR hair care! For life.

Nourish your hair regularly with masks, eat right. That's all!

And you will never again think about slow hair growth, dandruff and all sorts of other problems!

That is, you just know that you clean your hair once every seven to ten days (for others...) and that’s all!

In general, girls, write in the comments what will work out for you and what will NOT work out. If so, I'll tell you)

And that's all for today!

I wish you Luxurious, Beautiful and Healthy hair!!!

A scalp peeling mask is the key to the health and beauty of your hair. The scalp is not much different from the surface epithelium of other parts of the body, so a peeling mask will be a relevant way to keep it clean and healthy.

According to the rules, you need to comb your hair 25 times in different directions, but few people do this now, some don’t have enough precious time, some don’t want to spoil their hairstyle with such manipulations, and some are just too lazy. But few people know how important this is for our scalp and hair.

The fact is that the scalp secretes sebum - protection for the hair; it should be distributed along the entire length of the hair. But if you don’t comb your head in this way, or, for example, constantly wear a hat, then the hair follicles will become clogged, and this will have a detrimental effect on your hair. Another factor in the clogging of bulbs is styling products; when they come into contact with the skin, they form a film. An alternative to scratching is salt peeling.

Why do you need scalp peeling?

If your hair starts to get dirty and greasy quickly, you clearly need to cleanse your scalp. With the help of a scalp scrub you can solve many problems:

• At the heart of the hair is the cuticle - a membrane that covers its base. Dirt particles gradually accumulate in the cuticle, which we can only remove using mechanical action - a scrub.
• Peeling the scalp stimulates blood flow to the hair follicles, improving their nutrition and accelerating growth
• Removes dead skin and oil secretions, allowing skin to breathe
• A scalp scrub will help remove styling products and silicones from shampoos and conditioners, which also clog pores and prevent the skin from being oxygenated.
• Scalp peeling is especially good to do before any cosmetic procedure, for example, a nourishing hair mask. The scalp, cleansed of dead particles and dirt, more effectively absorbs all the beneficial components.

Peeling salt mask promotes

• exfoliation of the “old” layer of skin, which gives oxygen access to the bulbs -
• stimulation of hair growth -
• removing excess sebum.

Many also note the effectiveness of salt against hair loss. All we need for peeling is salt.

Depending on the length of your hair, take from 2 to 5 tablespoons of salt. Sea salt or regular table iodized salt works best. Pour salt with 2-5 tablespoons of water. After this, wet your head and rub handfuls of salt into the scalp, after you have distributed the salt over the entire surface of the head, massage the skin with your fingertips for 10 minutes. After this, leave the salt mass on your head for another 10 minutes, then rinse your hair with water and shampoo.

Helpful Tip: Don't massage your scalp with salt too much, otherwise you may cause scalp irritation and burning. It is important not to overdo it with salt masks. If you have dry hair, then do this mask no more than once a week; for those with oily hair, you can do the mask more often. If there are wounds on the scalp, then such a mask cannot be made. Wait until the wound heals, and then start peeling.

Remember that it is important not only to nourish our hair, but also to cleanse it well. And such a mask will deeply cleanse the scalp of sebum, and the hair will become soft. To make the effect more visible, make the mask once a week, the course lasts 6 weeks. Then take a break for a couple of months. You will see the result will pleasantly surprise you!

• take 2-5 tablespoons of salt (depending on hair length)
• It is better to take iodized salt and fine fine salt is better for peeling, and let iodine additionally nourish the hair)
• pour everything in a bowl with 2-5 tablespoons of warm water

Wet your head and rub handfuls of salt into your scalp. Then massage your head with your fingertips for 10 minutes. Leave on hair for another 10 minutes. Rinse with warm water and rinse your hair with shampoo. Your hair will be so soft and manageable after this! True, the softness is simply amazing. After the mask, it is useful to apply a nourishing mask, either prepared or according to our recipes, to your hair. After peeling, hair absorbs nutrients much better.

Salt peeling for dry scalp should not be done more than once a week. For oily scalp, you can use this mask 2 times a week. Among other things, cleaning your head leads to hair not only becoming healthy and shiny, but also growing faster.

To speed up hair growth and stop hair loss, you need to perform a peeling mask with salt once a week for 6 weeks, then take a break for several months.

What is the best salt for hair exfoliation?

When carrying out salt peeling for hair, the abrasive properties of salt are mainly used. It is rubbed into the scalp with circular massage movements. To avoid scratching the epidermis, it is recommended to purchase fine salt. If its crystals are large enough, you can grind them using a coffee grinder.

Of all the types of salt, sea salt is the most effective for healing the scalp and hair. This is explained by its rich composition, including many microelements. Among them are iodine, calcium, iron, sodium, selenium. Therefore, this salt is suitable not only for cleansing, but also provides additional nutrition. It is also very effective for normalizing the skin-fat balance. Thanks to the use of sea salt for peeling the scalp, the hair structure changes and hair loss is significantly reduced.

If sea salt is not available, you can use iodized salt. Even regular rock salt is also suitable for exfoliation. Naturally, the result in this case will be somewhat weaker. Some recommendations contain the opinion that the use of “Extra” salt is inadmissible. It is indicated that the additives present in it may have an adverse effect on the condition of the hair and scalp. However, there is no exact data on the possibility of such consequences, so everyone must decide for themselves on this issue.

Recipes for homemade peeling masks

There is nothing easier than preparing scalp peeling at home. The easiest way to quickly cleanse the scalp of impurities and sebum is to use sea salt, which is rich in various microelements: iodine, calcium, iron, sodium, zinc, etc. But other abrasive components can also be used: table salt, sugar, coffee, soda . To prevent irritation and dryness from peeling, softening and moisturizing ingredients are added to the scrub, such as oil, kefir, egg yolks, etc. With such cleansing, the scalp will also receive nourishment.

Cleansing the skin with scrubs at home does not require large financial costs, does not take much time, and is technically very simple.

• For salt peeling, choose finely ground salt, because large fractions can severely scratch the skin. Coarse salt can be ground in a blender or coffee grinder;
• apply peeling only to damp hair and exclusively in the root zone;
• wash your hair after peeling, not before;
• if the homemade scrub contains nutritional components, after the massage it can be left on the hair as a mask for 10-15 minutes with insulation with a cap and towel;
• for oily hair, the optimal frequency of the procedure is 2 times a month; for dry hair, it is enough to scrub once a month;
• Calculate the amount of ingredients for a homemade scrub depending on your hair length.

Be careful: dyed hair from the scrub may lose its color brightness; it is better to use store-bought peelings for it.

Recipe 1. With salt

• 1 tbsp. l. finely ground sea salt
• 3 drops essential oil

Combine sea salt and room temperature water in a 1:1 ratio, stir until the consistency of liquid sour cream. Instead of water, you can use hair balm; give preference to natural balms. Add a couple of drops of essential oil suitable for your problem. For example, lavender, lemon, and tea tree oils are recommended for oily hair and dandruff; jasmine, chamomile or rose oils are suitable for dry hair.

What do you need to know when peeling at home?

1. Peeling should be carried out no more than once a week for a course of 4 to 8 weeks. After this, you need to take a break for about 1.5-2 months. Otherwise, you can dry out your skin excessively.

3. The scrub time on the scalp ranges from 10 to 15 minutes. The composition is washed off with shampoo and warm, but not hot water.
4. The peeling agent should be applied to the hair before shampooing. This will help remove hair dirt better. Otherwise, you can harm the health of your hair.

The best homemade peeling recipes

The most popular component that allows you to exfoliate your scalp yourself is salt. Both sea and regular salt are used with the addition of various components depending on the skin type and its sensitivity. But there are other recipes for equally effective peeling compositions.

1. Eggs and lemon juice. You will need the juice of half a lemon, an yolk and two tablespoons of sea salt. This composition helps get rid of dandruff and reduce the activity of the sebaceous glands.
2. Soda. It's simple. Mix baking soda and shampoo in equal parts and apply to your head. Then wash off.
3. Coffee. Mix ground coffee beans with shampoo and rub into scalp. It is better to wash off the composition with a decoction of chamomile or nettle. Another option: mix two tablespoons of ground coffee and one spoon of oil (olive, burdock, castor). Lightly massage, apply to skin and leave for 15 minutes.
4. Yolk and coffee. The yolk should be mixed with two tablespoons of coffee grounds. Add a spoonful of honey and lemon juice. Rub gently into the skin and leave for half an hour.
5. Sugar and yolk. Mix one yolk, two tablespoons of olive oil and sugar until a homogeneous thick mass is obtained. Lightly massage your head and leave for about half an hour. This composition is not only an excellent peeling, but also a mask that will give your hair shine and strengthen it.
6. Sugar based. You should take one spoon of blue or white clay and two spoons of sugar. Mix and dilute with herbal decoction or water. You can add a few drops of citrus essential oil to the mixture. This mixture copes with increased oily scalp. For sensitive and dry skin, it is recommended to use yogurt instead of clay.

In addition to preparing various peeling compositions yourself, you can purchase professional cosmetics and use them at home. One such remedy is Nioxin. Scalp peeling with this product will be performed at a high level without leaving home. This is a whole system for caring for thinning, thinning hair.

In case of serious illnesses, it is better to consult a trichologist for a recommendation. He will help you choose the right drug or recommend using your own products.

How to exfoliate the scalp?

Salt peeling is done in several stages. First, you need to wash your hair well with shampoo and rinse your hair thoroughly. After this, you need to apply a balm or nourishing oil along the entire length of the strands, which will protect the strands from drying out during the procedure.

Apply the prepared mixture to clean and almost dry hair in small portions and slowly rub it into the skin with care. It is best to do this with your fingertips in a circular motion. This way the entire surface of the scalp is gradually processed.

After rubbing, the resulting mixture must be left on the skin for another 10 minutes, and then washed off with warm water and shampoo. It is recommended to complete the procedure by reapplying the balm or nourishing composition.

During these manipulations, a certain amount of hair falls out. This is absolutely normal. In place of the removed weak hairs, new, stronger and healthier ones will soon grow.

Most often, salt peeling is suggested to be done once a week (in some cases, 2 times are acceptable). The course consists of 6 – 8 procedures. A repeat course is possible after 2 – 3 months.

By studying reviews from women who have experienced salt hair peeling themselves, we can highlight some tips and tricks that they shared.

Such as:

1. Much attention should be paid to protecting hair by using nourishing and moisturizing products.
2. During the salt peeling course, you do not need to dry your hair by rubbing it with a towel or using a hairdryer. It is better to let them dry naturally. Read more:
3. Do not exceed the permissible time for the procedure or the frequency of its implementation. Such zeal can result in the opposite result: the hair will become stiff and lose elasticity.
4. To achieve a noticeable effect, it is important to peel regularly for the required course.
