After years of applying various styling products and rounds of harsh treatments like coloring and straightening, not to mention everyday exposure to environmental toxins, your hair is begging for a detox. Don’t believe us? Well, if you have …
- Itchy, inflamed, oily scalp
- Dry, flyaway hair
- Hair loss
- Scalp pain
- Scalp dandruff
- Dull, lifeless hair
- Been using hair care products made with toxin or low-quality ingredients
Then it’s time to wipe the slate clean with a non toxic hair and scalp detox!
A detox is a process that helps deep-cleanse, rebalance, and nourish the skin on your scalp and rid your hair of suffocating buildup. The benefits of hair and scalp detox include:
- Removing product buildup
- Improving scalp health
- Stimulating hair growth
- Restoring shine and luster
- Enhancing product absorption
- Preventing damage
- Promoting circulation in scalp area
- Reducing scalp sensitivity
You could see a difference in your scalp health and hair texture in as little as a week!
How do you do a hair and scalp detox?
Follow these simple steps:
- Start by lightly dampening your hair and scalp with lukewarm water.
- Apply resurfacing exfoliator to scalp and let sit for 10 minutes to allow PHAs to work their magic.
- Use a tool like a wet brush to massage the resurfacing exfoliator into your scalp, activating the pumice to loosen dead skin cells, dandruff, and product buildup, and then rinse.
- Apply purifying charcoal mask to scalp to help absorb excess oil, dirt, and debris. Rinse out.
- Wash your hair with your favorite non toxic shampoo and rinse.
- Apply conditioner to hair, concentrating on ends, and let sit for a few minutes before a final rinse.
- Separate your hair into sections and apply 1-2 drops of supergreens scalp treatment to each part to help with irritated, dry, itchy scalp. Massage in and style hair as you normally would.
Repeat this process every 2-4 weeks, depending on how active you are, whether you have a naturally oily scalp, and whether you use a lot of styling products. Those who only wash hair every few days may want to detox more frequently, as they tend to accumulate more buildup over time. Washing weekly with a charcoal detox shampoo followed by supergreens deep conditioner is a great in-between treat for keeping hair free of buildup and deeply hydrated.
Even if you’re committed to using only non toxic hair care products on the regular, something like a naturally oily scalp or excessive use of hair products like dry shampoo can lead to buildup that can be loosened and removed with regular hair and scalp detoxing. A non toxic hair and scalp detox is a great solution for anyone, no matter your skin and hair type or texture.
