Why Scalp Exfoliation Is My Personal Holy Grail Cleansing Method

Allows More Days Between Washes 

Speaking of frequently washing my hair, yeah–I no longer have to do that and it’s been great. I used to wash my hair once a week and now I’m able to stretch it to once every 3 weeks. Cleansing your scalp by exfoliating and doing a regular wash day isn’t necessary and will actually dry out your scalp and hair.

If you’re trying to get into scalp exfoliation, consider how often you wash your hair. If you wash at least once a week, you might not want to consider this method. If you don’t wash your hair that often, think about incorporating exfoliant into the wash routine you already have set in place.

I Don’t Have To Wash All of My Hair 

My roots and scalp feel worlds away from the rest of my hair considering they require a lot more attention, so I thoroughly enjoy the fact that you don’t have to wash your whole head–you can just focus on your scalp and roots.

This may be the perfect mix if you’re transitioning because you don’t have to deal with both textures at the same time if you don’t want to.

Scalp exfoliating is perfect for you if you: Are in-between washes, have dandruff, experience a lot of build up, are transitioning, and/or moving from sulfate to sulfate free products.

You might want to think twice about exfoliating your scalp if you have really sensitive skin or aren’t particularly good at DIY projects because most times, you will have to mix your own products together.

Other than that, I encourage everyone to try exfoliating their scalp at least once because it cleanses and detoxifies your scalp while keeping your roots soft, clean, and manageable.
