if your scalp is feeling a little on the irritated, oily or dry side, it might be time for you to give it a good ol’ cleanse to set things straight… a scalp detox is the way to go to remove any excess oil, product build-up and dead skin cells to put your noggin’ in the best stead for growing healthy and happy strands. lucky for you, evo scalp is here with four uncomplicated fixes for the follicles.
what is a scalp detox?
sometimes, you need a clean slate… and we mean *squeaky* clean. a scalp detox does just that – it’s the practice of using the right products to cleanse and rebalance your scalp’s delicate eco-system. your scalp plays a big role up there; laying the foundations for healthy tresses to grow and prosper, which only happens *if* your scalp is in a state of nirvana.
if you’re scratching your head in confusion wondering whether or not you need a detox, we can give you some surefire signs that point to yes.
what ingredients to look for?
when it comes to adding back the balance to your scalp’s microbiome, ingredients play one heck of a role in making sure things stay on track to soothe success. you’ll want to be on the hunt for ingredients that won’t weigh your hair down, or act like gasoline to a flame and cause more irritation.
our four-step system contains no added fragrance, only peppermint and eucalyptus leaf oils to cool and calm. no harsh sulfates or parabens, just a scalp-saving scalp complex and plant-based prebiotic to replenish, regulate oil and restore the scalp to its once former glory.
how to reset your scalp like a pro?
now that you know what’s up when it comes to a scalp detox, it’s time to get your reset routine down pat.
1. pre-wash treatment
start strong with head start scalp exfoliator for a clean slate for your scalp. head start will deeply cleanse to remove product build-up, dry, flaky skin, and excess oil leaving the scalp feeling balance, clean and refreshed. ideal for weekly use.
scalp exfoliators are ideal for cleansing away stubborn impurities, like dead skin cells and pollutants, that a shampoo just can’t quite shake. our exfoliator will also soothe and cool the scalp, thanks to eucalyptus and peppermint oil, leaving it refreshed and calm. it’s the first step to putting everything back to balance and promoting a healthy foundation for hair to grow.
2. deep clean or clarifying shampoo
next-up on the agenda, cleanse and hydrate your scalp and hair with a scalp shampoo, like common ground. use it to keep things like dryness, flakiness and oil under control.
3. lightweight, hydrating conditioner or leave-in treatment
give your scalp some extra attention with ground control, a rinse-out scalp treatment to keep the good times rolling. it’ll leave your scalp feeling hydrated and calm, whilst leaving the hair nourished, soft and manageable without feeling oily or heavy.
4. daily treatment/maintenance
now that balance has been restored, it’s time to keep it that way… continue with the above steps and the irritation, dry, flaky scalp scales shouldn’t tip. but, if sometimes your noggin’ is still feeling a little out of whack, settle it down with a lashings of our home base scalp serum.
much like a glass of water for the scalp, this leave-on scalp serum instantly hydrates and soothes while protecting the scalp from moisture loss to leave it feeling happy, balanced and calm.
