DIY Scalp Scrub to Promote Hair Growth

You exfoliate your face, knees, elbows, feet…….

Are you exfoliating your scalp??

Exfoliation, regardless of where it occurs, promotes cell turnover by removing dead, dull cells and uncovering glowing youthful skin.

It also detoxifies the skin, improves product penetration and reduces sun damage and fine lines.

As far as the scalp is concerned, the process of removing dead cells also removes buildup and clears clogged hair follicles, thus paving the way for hair growth.

So, are you ready to scrub your scalp? Here’s an easy DIY recipe:

  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp coconut/olive oil

Mix well, apply to scalp and massage gently with the pads of your fingers. DO NOT SCRATCH. Rinse thoroughly to remove all residue and follow with your normal shampoo regimen.

If you’re pressed for time, you can mix the brown sugar with your shampoo or conditioner and massage while applying your product. Normal/dry scalp? Once session per month will do. For oily hair/scalp twice a month is okay.

The scalp is no different than the skin on your face, a little extra TLC will have your scalp in the healthiest possible condition. Do you need a few more hair-boosting recipes? Sign up to get your copy of the “Top 10 DIY Recipes for Natural Hair“, it’s FREE!
