The foundation of healthy hair begins at the scalp. Over time, it accumulates product buildup, sweat, and pollutants that can hinder hair growth and lead to irritation.

Regularly incorporating a scalp scrub into your hair care routine will help improve blood circulation, reduce flakes, and alleviate itching caused by sweat and product residue.

100g soft brown sugar

30g avocado oil

10g castor oil

40g almond or grapeseed

1.5g essential oil (a combination or rosemary, clary sage and sweet orange work well to help promote healthy growth)

To use:

Lightly dampen roots with a water spray bottle. Massage the scrub into your scalp using your fingertips, not your nails, really working it in all over your scalp. 

Wash and condition as normal. You may need to shampoo twice to remove all the oil from your scalp.
