How can you perform a deep scalp detox at home. What are the benefits of regular scalp cleansing. Which ingredients are most effective for scalp detoxification. How often should you detox your scalp for optimal hair health.

The Importance of Scalp Health for Hair Growth

A healthy scalp is the foundation for beautiful, vibrant hair. Many of us focus on hair care products and styling techniques, but neglect the very surface from which our hair grows. Poor scalp health can lead to various issues, including hair loss, excessive oiliness, or dryness. Regular scalp detoxification is crucial for maintaining optimal scalp health and promoting healthy hair growth.

Why is scalp health so vital? The scalp is home to hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and a delicate microbiome. When these components are in balance, they create an ideal environment for hair growth. However, factors like product buildup, environmental pollutants, and excess oil can disrupt this balance, leading to scalp issues and potentially impeding hair growth.

Key Benefits of Regular Scalp Detoxification:

• Removes product buildup and excess oil
• Unclogs hair follicles, allowing for better nutrient absorption
• Balances the scalp’s natural microbiome
• Stimulates blood circulation, promoting hair growth
• Reduces scalp irritation and flakiness
• Improves overall hair texture and shine

Professional Scalp Detox Treatments: What to Expect

While at-home treatments can be effective, professional scalp detox treatments offer a more intensive approach. These treatments often combine multiple steps to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and nourish the scalp. One such example is the Hair + Scalp Balance Treatment offered at Younghee Salon in Tribeca, New York.

This treatment, described as a “facial for your scalp,” involves several key steps:

1. Scalp massage with nourishing oil (e.g., René Furterer’s Karite Oil)
2. Extended scalp massage (approximately 7 minutes)
3. Double cleansing with clarifying and regular shampoos
4. Vinegar rinse for added clarification and shine
5. Conditioning treatment
6. Blowout for a polished finish

The result is a deeply cleansed scalp, increased blood circulation, and noticeably shinier, healthier-looking hair. While professional treatments can be a luxurious treat, regular at-home scalp detox routines can help maintain scalp health between salon visits.

DIY Scalp Detox: 6 Easy Steps for At-Home Treatment

You don’t need to visit a salon to give your scalp the care it deserves. Here’s a step-by-step guide to performing a deep scalp detox at home:

Step 1: Pre-Treatment Oil Massage

Begin by massaging a generous amount of nourishing oil into your scalp. This helps to loosen dirt, debris, and product buildup. Options include:

• Coconut oil
• Jojoba oil
• Argan oil
• Specialized scalp oils (e.g., René Furterer’s Complexe 5 Stimulating Plant Concentrate)

Gently massage the oil into your scalp using circular motions. For best results, leave the oil on for 1-2 hours before proceeding to the next step.

Step 2: Clarifying Shampoo

After the oil treatment, use a clarifying shampoo to remove the oil along with any buildup. Clarifying shampoos are designed to deep clean and remove residue that regular shampoos might miss. Look for products containing ingredients like:

• Salicylic acid
• Tea tree oil
• Charcoal
• Apple cider vinegar

Massage the shampoo thoroughly into your scalp, focusing on areas prone to buildup like the crown and nape of the neck.

Step 3: Second Cleanse

Follow up with a second cleanse using your regular shampoo. This ensures that all traces of oil and clarifying shampoo are removed, leaving your scalp truly clean.

Step 4: Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse

An apple cider vinegar (ACV) rinse helps to balance the pH of your scalp and add shine to your hair. Mix 2-4 tablespoons of ACV with 16 ounces of warm water in a squeeze bottle. For added benefits, you can include a few drops of tea tree oil in the mixture.

Apply the rinse all over your scalp and hair, from roots to ends. Leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing with cool water.

Step 5: Deep Conditioning

After the cleansing and rinsing steps, it’s crucial to replenish moisture. Apply a deep conditioning mask to the lengths of your hair, avoiding the scalp. This helps to nourish and protect your strands after the intensive cleansing process.

Step 6: Final Rinse and Styling

Rinse out the conditioning mask with cool water to seal the hair cuticles and boost shine. Style your hair as usual, enjoying the benefits of your freshly detoxed scalp.

Budget-Friendly Scalp Detox Options

If you’re looking for a quick and affordable scalp detox method, consider this simple hack: Add a teaspoon of baking soda to your regular shampoo. Baking soda acts as a gentle exfoliant, helping to remove buildup and balance the scalp’s pH.

To use this method:

1. Mix a teaspoon of baking soda with your regular shampoo in your palm
2. Apply the mixture to your scalp and massage gently
3. Rinse thoroughly and follow with conditioner on the ends of your hair

This budget-friendly option is perfect for those times when you need a quick scalp refresh without investing in specialized products.

Luxury Scalp Detox Products and Their Benefits

For those willing to invest in high-end scalp care, there are several luxury products designed specifically for scalp detoxification:

Christophe Robin Cleansing Purifying Salt Scrub

This salt-based scrub offers deep cleansing and exfoliation. It’s particularly beneficial for:

• Removing oil buildup
• Soothing sensitive or flaky scalps
• Post-coloring treatment to relieve itchiness

The sea salt in this scrub not only exfoliates but also purifies and rebalances excess oils while hydrating the scalp.

Briogeo Scalp Revival Charcoal + Coconut Oil Micro-exfoliating Shampoo

This product combines the detoxifying properties of charcoal with the nourishing benefits of coconut oil. Its key features include:

• Micro-exfoliating particles for gentle scalp cleansing
• Charcoal to draw out impurities
• Coconut oil for scalp hydration
• Peppermint, spearmint, and tea tree oils for a cooling, soothing effect

Many users appreciate its refreshing scent, which is reminiscent of mint chocolate.

Kérastase Specifique Range

Kérastase offers a line of scalp-specific treatments designed to address various scalp concerns. Their products often include:

• Pre-shampoo treatments to prepare the scalp for cleansing
• Specialized shampoos for different scalp types (oily, dry, sensitive)
• Leave-in treatments to balance and nourish the scalp

These luxury options can be particularly beneficial for those with persistent scalp issues or those looking for a more indulgent scalp care routine.

Frequency of Scalp Detox Treatments

How often should you perform a scalp detox? The frequency depends on various factors, including your hair type, lifestyle, and scalp condition. Here are some general guidelines:

• Normal to dry scalp: Once every 2-4 weeks
• Oily scalp: Once every 1-2 weeks
• Product-heavy styling routine: Once every 1-2 weeks
• Active lifestyle (frequent sweating): Once every 1-2 weeks
• Sensitive or problematic scalp: Consult with a dermatologist or trichologist for personalized advice

It’s important to note that over-cleansing can strip the scalp of its natural oils, potentially leading to irritation or increased oil production. Pay attention to how your scalp feels after treatments and adjust the frequency accordingly.

Maintaining Scalp Health Between Detox Treatments

While regular scalp detox treatments are beneficial, maintaining scalp health between treatments is equally important. Here are some tips to keep your scalp in optimal condition:

1. Choose the Right Shampoo

Use a shampoo that suits your scalp type. If you have an oily scalp, look for clarifying or balancing shampoos. For dry or sensitive scalps, opt for gentle, moisturizing formulas.

2. Avoid Over-washing

Washing your hair too frequently can strip the scalp of its natural oils, leading to dryness or overproduction of sebum. Aim to wash your hair 2-3 times a week, or as needed based on your hair type and lifestyle.

3. Limit Heat Styling

Excessive heat can damage the scalp and hair follicles. When using heat styling tools, apply a heat protectant and keep the temperature at a moderate level.

4. Brush Regularly

Gentle brushing helps distribute natural oils from the scalp to the hair shaft and can stimulate blood circulation. Use a soft-bristled brush or a scalp massage tool.

5. Stay Hydrated and Eat a Balanced Diet

Proper hydration and nutrition play a crucial role in scalp health. Drink plenty of water and consume foods rich in vitamins and minerals that support hair health, such as:

• Omega-3 fatty acids (found in fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts)
• Biotin (found in eggs, nuts, and sweet potatoes)
• Vitamin E (found in almonds, sunflower seeds, and avocados)
• Iron (found in leafy greens, lean meats, and legumes)

6. Protect Your Scalp from Sun Damage

UV rays can damage the scalp, leading to dryness and irritation. When spending time outdoors, wear a hat or use a UV-protective hair product.

7. Be Mindful of Product Build-up

While styling products can enhance your hair’s appearance, they can also accumulate on the scalp. Use products sparingly and focus on applying them to the hair shaft rather than the roots.

By incorporating these habits into your routine, you can maintain a healthy scalp between detox treatments, promoting overall hair health and growth.

Scalp Detox Treatment at Home

• beauty

When it comes to pampering and getting pretty, we think about so many things. Skincare, haircare, makeup… skincare for the body… but what about your scalp? I have personally victimized my scalp in oh so many ways. Piling on the dry shampoo. Overloading it with product. Spending days at the beach and at the pool. Abusing it with ultra-drying clarifying shampoos. Ignoring it. Hair care is so important, especially your scalp. I am trying to take better care of my scalp and hair.

The health of your scalp is so, so important. Poor scalp health can actually lead to hair loss – keeping it clean and able to breathe is extremely important. And while washing your hair helps, hair cleansing isn’t enough — your scalp needs a deep cleanse every now and again, too. Deep cleansing your scalp regularly will help to encourage healthy hair growth and natural oils, exfoliate dead skin cells, and remove all that yucky dry shampoo and product buildup. Who doesn’t love a hair detox!

(PS – this apple cider vinegar hair rinse is magical!)

Back in 2016 I had the chance to visit Younghee Salon (in Tribeca) to give their Hair + Scalp Balance Treatment a whirl. The salon markets it as a facial for your scalp, which sounded like the greatest idea ever. I was excited to try it as I had never really done anything like that for my scalp, and after a summer of blowouts (so much dry shampoo), weekends at the beach, and plain old product overload (my hair is thick so I use a heavy hand with styling creams, serums, and sprays) it just felt necessary.

It was such an awesome, over-the-top treatment. Far and away the best scalp cleanse and massage I’ve ever had. The stylist began by massaging René Furterer’s Karite Oil throughout my scalp. I was then treated to a (heavenly) seven (yes, seven) minute scalp massage. From there, they washed my hair twice (first with a clarifying shampoo and then with a regular shampoo) and did a vinegar rinse prior to conditioning and blowing out my hair. The idea is that the oil helps to lift dirt, debris, and buildup from the scalp, allowing the shampoo to get hair really, really clean. It’s kinda like a good old fashioned double cleanse… except for your hair. Afterward, my scalp felt amazing… and my hair has never been shinier!

If you are in New York I would highly recommend paying Younghee a visit (I need to go back!) but if not, here are a few DIY ways to get your scalp ultra clean – including some tips + tricks from Younghee herself!

Younghee’s at home Method

You can (sort of) recreate her spa treatment at home. Massage a generous amount of oil (Younghee likes this one) all over and into your scalp. Leave it on for two hours (!!!) and shampoo using a clarifying shampoo. From there, shampoo again and do a vinegar rinse with apple cider vinegar (mix 2-4 tbsp vinegar with 16 oz. warm water in a plastic squeeze bottle). For extra credit you could add a few drops of tea tree oil to the ACV mixture. Be sure to use the rinse all over the hair, from scalp to ends. Besides the clarifying benefits for your scalp, a vinegar rinse also helps make your hair look extra shiny. Leave the vinegar mixture on for a few minutes, and then rinse with cold water. Follow up with a conditioning mask for the ends, and style appropriately.

The budget/on the fly method:

A long, long time ago a hair stylist noticed all the dry shampoo that had been accumulating on my head and suggested mixing in a teaspoon of plain old baking soda with my regular shampoo and massaging it in to my scalp. The baking soda helps to exfoliate and clarify, and my hair felt super silky and soft afterward. The best part? Everybody has baking soda… and if you don’t, it’s dirt cheap! Condition the ends, and style appropriately.

The luxe method

A few years ago I tried Christophe Robin’s Cleansing Purifying Salt Scrub a try and LOVE IT. It’s a great way to deeply cleanse and remove oil buildup. It’s also very soothing if you have sensitive skin or a flaky scalp. I loved how tingly it was. Christophe’s background is as a hair colorist and he actually created the scrub to be a post-coloring treatment as your scalp can get so itchy afterward, but quickly realized that it could be used for so much more than that (especially for all of us dry shampoo addicts!

Besides exfoliating, the sea salt also purifies and rebalances excess oils while hydrating the scalp – making it ideal for everyone!

More recently I gave Briogeo’s Scalp Revival a try (you can read the full review here!) and like it even more… probably because of the smell (it literally smells exactly like a Girl Scout thin mint cookie!), its amazing soothing properties, and the smaller granules which are easier to rinse out!

Last but not least, Kerastase also has some incredible scalp treatments. Start with their pre-shampoo treatment and then use the scalp scrub. Heaven!

What does a scalp treatment do?

Scalp treatments do so much for the health of your scalp and your strands! They’re the best way to give your scalp a much needed reset from any product buildup. They unclog hair follicles, relieve dry scalp and flakiness, release the natural oils that your scalp produces, and so much more! Plus, they’re great for at-home massages to help stimulate blood flow in the head and neck areas. I recommend following up any scalp treatment with a hair mask (coconut oil masks have worked wonders for me!) to nourish those roots!

Therapeutic Scalp Peeling

The main task of peeling is to deeply cleanse the scalp of keratinized scales, excess sebum – sebum and cosmetic residues that tend to accumulate on the hair and skin surface. Exfoliation of the upper layer of the skin – the epidermis – is very useful for improving her condition. Therefore, peeling is actively used for the prevention and treatment of various problems associated with the scalp. Peeling is especially effective for dandruff, which appears due to seborrhea, with increased fat content and hair loss. With regular deep cleansing, the regeneration of the scalp is accelerated. Exfoliation activates cellular metabolism, stimulates skin tone, promotes its healing. Improves nutrition and blood supply to hair follicles. Oxygen and various beneficial substances are more easily delivered to the hair roots. Thanks to this, hair grows better and becomes stronger and healthier. After peeling, cosmetic and therapeutic hair products act many times more actively and efficiently. That is why this popular procedure is often used to prepare the skin for more specialized treatments in salons and trichology clinics that deal with hair treatment and restoration. other discomfort.

Salon peeling

Many beauty salons and hairdressers offer the peeling procedure today. As a rule, professional and medical cosmetics are used, which contain more active and effective components than home care products. Most often, hair peeling in a salon is part of a comprehensive care. The peeling procedure is as follows: an exfoliating agent is applied to clean, wet or dry hair. After that, the master massages the scalp for a certain time. Then the remnants of the product, together with dead skin particles, are washed off, and a mask, serum or lotion is applied to the hair – nourishing, moisturizing, restoring – which will solve the problems of your hair.

Home peeling for hair

Home peeling of the scalp is the same as in a salon. At home, less active peeling products are usually used. You can find them in ordinary cosmetic stores, but in specialized stores for hairdressers and online cosmetics stores, the choice is still better. A good option is to buy cosmetics for home peeling in the salon, especially if the master will help you choose it. An excellent option for fans of natural remedies is peeling the scalp with salt. For cosmetic purposes, it is worth taking finely ground salt, preferably sea salt. Depending on the length of your hair, you will need two to five tablespoons of salt. In a small container, fill them with the same amount of warm water. Apply the resulting salt gruel on your head and gently rub into the skin. It is good if the fingertips move along the massage lines. Salt peeling usually takes about 10 minutes. After the massage, you can wait another 5-10 minutes, and then wash off the salt, wash your hair with shampoo and rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water. It is enough to do this procedure for hair once a week. Some hair health experts recommend doing salt peeling in courses – for 4-8 weeks, and then taking a break for several months. This is necessary in order not to overdry the skin. According to those who regularly exfoliate the scalp with salt, the hair after it becomes smooth, shiny and silky to the touch. Also, many note a feeling of freshness and lightness. An important nuance is that you should not do salt, and any peeling at home, if there are microcracks, scratches and wounds on the scalp, if it is very dry or too sensitive.

Scalp peeling products

Special products designed for deep cleansing and exfoliation of the scalp today are in the arsenal of many brands that produce cosmetics for hair. Among them are Wella, Schwarzkopf Professional, Paul Mitchell, Kerastase, Dikson, Utena and other brands. Means intended for peeling the scalp may have a different consistency. These are intensively cleansing shampoos, and peeling creams, and hair scrubs, and masks with an exfoliating effect, and fluids for deep skin cleansing. Most often, however, there are products that have a creamy texture. Peeling of the scalp can be mechanical and chemical. The first way – cleansing of impurities and exfoliation of coarsened skin particles occurs with the help of microgranules. They effectively remove all unnecessary, and at the same time are so small that they do not injure the skin. For chemical peeling, products are used that contain very active substances that remove dead skin cells of the epidermis. Many hair products combine mechanical and chemical effects. Exfoliating products can be versatile and have a purely cosmetic effect or be designed to solve a specific problem. For example, there are peeling creams against dandruff or increased greasiness.

Ingredients for peeling

Anti-dandruff products, in addition to exfoliating, also contain therapeutic antifungal components that inhibit the growth of dandruff-causing microorganisms and heal the scalp. Also in the composition of exfoliating products, you can find auxiliary components that improve the condition of the scalp. This list also includes essential oils – especially popular are tea tree oil, peppermint, jojoba and lavender, and seaweed extracts, and natural plant extracts. Also in the composition of hair peels you can find hydrolyzed proteins of wheat, rice, panthenol, glycerin and vitamins necessary for the health of your hair.

An article about scalp exfoliation to help restore healthy hair. Learn how to properly carry out the procedure and what means to use to achieve maximum results.

Scalp peeling is a process that helps to free the skin from dead cells, which smoothes the microrelief, accelerates blood circulation and relieves the inflammatory reaction. The scalp, like any other area of ​​the body, needs periodic cleansing and care to stay healthy and beautiful. But not only this is the reason for peeling the scalp.

Modern lifestyle, bad environment, stress and improper care can lead to such a problem as hair loss. And if nothing is done, it can lead to complete baldness. Many people believe that the main problem lies in the hair itself, but in fact, the cause may be in the scalp.

In this article, we will tell you how to exfoliate the scalp, what preparations to use to eliminate the cause of hair loss and how to restore healthy hair at home.

What is scalp peeling?

Scalp peeling is a scalp cleansing and regeneration treatment that can be beneficial for hair health. During a scalp exfoliation, the specialist uses special products to help remove dead skin cells, flakes and hair care products that build up on the scalp over time. It can help promote healthy hair, promote hair growth, and maintain optimal levels of scalp hygiene.

Scalp peeling can be performed using chemical agents such as acids or mechanical methods such as microdermabrasion. Some specialists also use natural scalp exfoliating ingredients such as tea tree oil or eucalyptus oil, which contain antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Care must be taken when exfoliating the scalp to ensure that the ingredients used will not cause an allergic reaction. Exfoliating your scalp may not be the most comfortable process, but it can do wonders for the health of your hair and scalp.

Why scalp exfoliation is important for hair health?

Proper scalp care is one of the main factors that affects the health of the hair. Lack of attention to the scalp can lead to various problems, such as scalp blemishes, split ends and brittle hair, and thin and brittle hair structure.

Scalp peeling is a procedure that helps to cleanse the scalp of dead cells, sebum, and other impurities. At the same time, blood circulation improves and all obstacles that can interfere with the growth of healthy hair are removed.

Thanks to peeling, the scalp looks healthier, more even and smoother. This promotes better absorption of nutrients by each hair, strengthens them, and promotes their growth.

It is recommended to exfoliate the scalp at least once a week to achieve maximum effect and maintain healthy hair.

What types of scalp peeling are there?

Chemical peel is an acid-based treatment that breaks down the dry top of the scalp, removing dead cells and opening pores. This type of peeling is often used to solve problems with greasy hair and excessive brittleness.

Mechanical peeling can be done with a special brush or scrub, which helps to remove all dead skin cells from the scalp. This type of peeling can improve microcirculation in the scalp and reduce hair loss.

Ultrasonic peeling is a procedure based on the use of ultrasound, which helps to remove dead skin cells. This type of peeling can help increase the penetration of restorative agents into the scalp and hair, thereby increasing their effectiveness.

Fruit Peel is a treatment based on the use of cosmetic products containing fruit acids such as alpha hydroxy acid. Fruit acids help to prolong the action of cosmetic products, and also increase their effectiveness.

Cryogenic peeling is a procedure based on the use of liquid nitrogen, which helps to remove dead skin cells from the scalp, like other types of peeling.

When choosing a peeling method, it is necessary to take into account the type and condition of the scalp, as well as individual characteristics and the desired result.

How to exfoliate the scalp at home?

Scalp peeling can be done at home with natural ingredients. Regular use of the procedure will help improve the condition of the scalp, reduce hair loss and smooth out roughness.

Before starting the procedure, it is recommended to moisten the scalp with a wet method. To do this, you can apply a mask based on vegetable oils, such as coconut, olive or burdock oil. Apply the oil on the scalp and leave for 30 minutes, then rinse with water.

Next, you can start peeling. To do this, mix two parts of sugar with one part of olive oil. In the resulting mixture, the hair should not be wet. Apply the mixture on the scalp and massage for about 10 minutes, then rinse with water.

You can also use coffee grounds instead of sugar. To do this, mix coffee grounds with a small amount of water to form a paste. Apply the paste on the scalp and massage for about 5-7 minutes, then rinse with water.

After peeling, shampoo and condition hair. It is recommended to repeat peeling once a week for best results.

What are the ingredients for a scalp peel?

When preparing a peeling for the scalp, it is necessary to choose first-class and hypoallergenic ingredients that will help improve blood circulation and degrease the skin, as well as cleanse it of dead cells. Consider several options:

• Dead Sea Salt – rich in minerals and trace elements that help eliminate itching, inflammation and dandruff, and also stimulate hair growth.
• Coffee is a natural source of caffeine that increases blood circulation and promotes hair growth, as well as improves flaking and unclogs pores.
• Soda – effectively removes dead cells and dirt, and also helps to remove styling residues, which makes hair softer and shinier.
• Apple Cider Vinegar – has a mild and antifungal effect that helps to remove dandruff and itching, as well as strengthen the hair roots.

Remember that the right ingredients not only help to heal the scalp, but also make the hair healthy and beautiful.

How often should I exfoliate the scalp?

The optimal frequency of scalp exfoliation depends on the condition of your hair and scalp. On average, it is recommended to peel once every 1-2 weeks, but you can increase or decrease the interval depending on the needs.

If your hair is very oily, the peeling frequency may be more frequent, for example every week. And if you have dry skin, it is better to exfoliate less often so as not to overdry the scalp.

It is also recommended to reduce the frequency of peeling if there are wounds, scratches or irritation on the scalp. In such cases, it is better to refrain from the procedure until the wounds are completely healed or irritation is reduced.

But don’t forget that the frequency of exfoliation is not the only factor influencing hair health. It is also important to properly care for your hair, use high-quality care products and monitor nutrition and general condition of the body.

Remember that exfoliating the scalp too often can lead to overdrying and weakening of the hair, while exfoliating too infrequently can lead to stagnation of blood circulation and increased secretion of sebum. Therefore, choose the optimal peeling interval for yourself and monitor the condition of your hair and scalp.

Advice:

• If you are just starting to exfoliate the scalp, it is recommended to start with 2 times a month and gradually increase the frequency depending on the reaction of the scalp.
• Do not forget to take into account seasonal fluctuations, that is, in winter, the frequency of peeling can be reduced, as the scalp needs additional protection at this time.

How do you know if a scalp peel is right for you?

The scalp needs to be generously protected, moisturized and cleansed of dead cells. If you suffer from dandruff, itching, or oiliness, scalp exfoliation can help address these issues. However, not all skin types are suitable for peeling.

If your scalp is too dry, peeling can lead to even more drying effects. This will lead to even more hair loss, itching and irritation.

If you have a very sensitive scalp or have just had your hair colored, peeling may cause additional skin irritation.

If your scalp has various conditions such as psoriasis or eczema, peeling can make the situation worse and lead to more severe skin irritation.

It is important to understand that scalp exfoliation is not always the best treatment for hair problems . Before deciding on peeling, it is best to consult a dermatologist or stylist.

• If your scalp condition does not allow exfoliation, you can turn to gentler skin and hair care methods such as massage, shampoo for dry skin and wearing caps to protect your scalp from environmental hazards.

Never forget to take proper care of your scalp and your hair will always be healthy and beautiful.

What to do after scalp peeling?

After the scalp peeling, especially when using chemical formulations, it is necessary to take special care of the scalp and hair. Otherwise, you can cause skin irritation and also worsen the condition of your hair.

The first step to take is to avoid styling products, heat treatments, chemical dyes, and other aggressive products for the next two weeks. During this period, the scalp and hair are very sensitive and need special care.

It is also important to watch your diet by eating foods rich in vitamins and minerals. B vitamins, iron and magnesium ensure strong and healthy hair.

In addition, it is necessary to choose the right care products for the scalp and hair. It is best to use natural remedies based on herbal ingredients. Shampoos and conditioners containing argan or coconut oil, aloe and green tea extracts will help not only take care of the hair, but also help to restore the scalp after peeling.

Don’t forget to massage your scalp regularly to improve blood circulation and enrich hair follicles with essential nutrients. During the massage, with light movements of the massager, distribute the blood over the scalp for its faster recovery.

In general, after a scalp peeling, you need to take care of your hair and scalp with daily care, a healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition.

What are the contraindications for scalp peeling?

Although scalp peeling has many benefits for strengthening and improving the quality of the hair, it may have certain contraindications that must be considered before the procedure.

The first and most important contraindication is the presence of inflammatory diseases of the scalp. In the presence of psoriasis, eczema and other similar diseases, peeling can lead to a deterioration in the skin condition and complicate the treatment of possible complications.

Another contraindication is burns and wounds on the scalp. In this condition, peeling can cause pain and adversely affect wound healing.

Peeling should not be performed if there is an allergic reaction to glycolic acid, which is one of the main components of peeling.

Also, peeling should not be performed on people with extremely sensitive scalp or circulatory problems in this part of the body, as this may worsen the condition.

Before the peeling procedure, it is necessary to consult a professional cosmetologist who will help to correctly assess the condition of the scalp and determine the presence of possible contraindications.

Why not use sharp instruments when exfoliating the scalp?

Risk of scalp injury

The use of sharp instruments when exfoliating the scalp may cause injury to the scalp. Violation of the integrity of the skin can cause bleeding and skin lesions with infectious diseases.

Harmful effect on hair roots

Sharp instruments can cut through the hair roots, interfering with their normal functioning. As a result, the quality of the hair will deteriorate, it will become brittle and thin.

Scalp pH imbalance
