The Importance of Scalp Exfoliation in Your Hair Care Routine
Oftentimes when we think of a ‘hair care routine’ we’re only thinking about a wash schedule, which shampoo and conditioner to use, how often to get a haircut. When our ends are extra dry from the winter or too much sun in the summer, we might remember to throw on a deep conditioner. It isn’t until we begin to notice itching, flaking and even hair loss do we really start to pay attention to what our scalp is trying to tell us.
Why Scalp Exfoliation Matters:
It promotes healthy hair growth: A clean and balanced scalp offers optimal conditions for hair follicles to thrive. By removing buildup, dirt, debris, oil and dead skin cells, you allow the skin and hair follicles to receive the benefits of your hair care products. Keeping your hair follicles clean and clear helps to prevent conditions such as folliculitis and hair loss from occurring.
Improves scalp circulation: Stimulating the blood circulation in your scalp to increase the blood flow allows for essential nutrients and oxygen to travel to the hair follicles, promoting their health and vitality. Enhanced circulation contributes to a healthy scalp and can reduce your risk of dandruff, itchiness and other scalp conditions.
Enhances product absorption: Have you ever noticed products seem to be more effective after a salon visit? Scalp exfoliation plays a key role by removing dead skin cells and product buildup, allowing better penetration of serums, oils and treatments into the scalp. This allows your products to work more efficiently, providing noticeable results.
An easy way to incorporate a regular scalp exfoliation into your hair care routine is with the Innersense True Enlightenment Scalp Scrub. It gently buffs away dead skin cells and buildup then replenishes nutrients with Apple Extract.
