Just like facial skin, the scalp collects oil, dead skin cells, sweat, and product buildup over time. Regular scalp exfoliation helps unclog hair follicles, improve circulation, and create a healthier environment for hair growth. It may also reduce dandruff, itching, and excess oil linked to conditions like Seborrheic Dermatitis.
Gentle exfoliation using scalp scrubs or chemical exfoliants can improve product absorption and leave the scalp feeling refreshed. However, over-exfoliating may cause irritation or dryness, so moderation is important. Pairing exfoliation with proper hydration and hair care supports stronger, healthier-looking hair.
