Hair Detox
One way to ensure your hair grows long and healthy is to go a step further than shampooing by doing a scalp detox treatment. At times we forget that our scalp is living and breathing, and the hair strands are dead. We spend so much time, energy, and products on the hair on our head and neglect the reason why we have it in the first place; it grows from the scalp.
How to detox your scalp:
A scalp detox treatment includes massaging in a mask to exfoliate the scalp, which unclogs your pores of dead skin and removes toxins from the hair follicles, roots, and oil glands.
For a simple at home DIY scalp mask recipe, you will need:
1. 1 teaspoon of baking soda
2. 2 tablespoons of olive oil
3. 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder
To prevent dry hair and scalp, this mask treatment is for a deep clarifying cleanse and should not be used more than once a month.
Step 1: Mix all ingredients in a small container
Step 2: Part your hair in small sections and apply the mask down each part on the scalp
Step 3: Massage the mask into the scalp in a gentle circular motion
Step 4: Cover your hair and scalp with a shower cap for 10 -15 minutes
Step 5: Shampoo and conditioner your hair as normal.
