The experts have spoken! Exfoliating your scalp is just as important as your face! Because, scalp is skin too, duh! 



Your scalp collects gunk from natural oils, dirt, dead skin cells, and hair products. When the debris form a build-up, you'll have clogged follicles. So, your hair doesn't grow and starts to fall out!  



Not to worry, here's your guide to exfoliate your scalp the right way. 

1- Know when to exfoliate
Here are all those times you should consider exfoliating:
- When you can feel a build-up
- When your hair "hurts" when moved around
- When you see flakes
- When your scalp itches
- When your hair is flat and lifeless at the roots



2- Know how often to exfoliate
Rule of the thumb: Start once a week, or notch it up to twice a week if you have heavier scalp concerns. Do not over-exfoliate your scalp, as it might cause irritation or itchiness. 



3- Choose your weapon 

In other words, your method of exfoliation. This would depend on your preference. You can use a physical exfoliant like a scalp scrub in the shower. Or, a tool like a wet brush to massage the product into your scalp. If you're bold enough, try a chemical exfoliant. 




4- Hydrate your scalp 
Make sure to moisturize your scalp after exfoliating. Use a conditioner in the shower or a scalp oil post-wash. 



5- Book a scalp treatment session 
If you're still a little unsure about exfoliating, leave it to the pro. Book a session at the salon and ask for a scalp-exfoliating treatment. They'll handle it all for you, for a price!
