Like our hair, our scalp reacts to the environment – it also reacts to ingredients in our hair care. As scalp health is vital to healthy hair and beautiful hair days, it’s important to treat your scalp like you would your skin. That’s where a scalp scrub comes in.
Whether your hair goals are for longer, thicker, or more hydrated hair, adding a scalp scrub to your routine is an essential step to getting there. Just as we exfoliate skin to unclog pores, and remove excess oil, and sebum, the skin on your head needs just as much TLC.
To save you time searching, we’ve collated here three of the best scrubs on the market from Charlotte Mensah, Davines and SUSANNE KAUFMANN…
From the award-winning hairdresser Charlotte Mensah, the newly launched Manketti Oil Salt Scrub (£60) has been one of the most requested treatments at her salon Hair Lounge since 2017, the Salt Scrub has gone from being packed into Tupperware for clients to take home, to finally being bottled, for the perfect addition to your self-care routine. A blend of naturally exfoliating salts – sea salt from Prampram Ghana and Himalayan pink salt – works to remove dead skin cells, excess oil, and product residue, allowing the scalp to soften and breathe. Nourishing mongongo, jojoba seed, grape seed, and sweet almond oils hydrate the hair and soothe the scalp, reducing flakiness and itching. And can we say the gorgeous peppery scent is to die for!
Sea Salt Scrub from the SOLU family is a deeply cleansing paste with great purifying properties, for all hair types. It removes impurities and particle pollutants from the air, refreshing the scalp, and keeps hair clean longer. Formulated with beet sugar extract to provide softness and hydration and scrub pearls from jojoba to remove impurities, it contains sea salt from Mr Culcasi’s salt pans in Paceco, in the province of Trapani, which is particularly rich in magnesium, potassium, and micro-elements.
Formulated with natural oils, this multi-use, hydrating scrub provides rich exfoliation from scalp to skin. Whilst relieving dryness and creating beautifully moisturised skin, the Refining Scalp and Body Scrub consists of natural exfoliants and hydrating plant oils that improve skin texture and encourage scalp health, empowering more luminous skin and hair.
