Clarifying Shampoo vs. Scalp Scrub

Clarifying shampoo and scalp scrubs are two common products in the haircare industry. They might seem like a lush indulgence, but these products have very different skill sets. Clarifying shampoos are the true-blue detectives of the hair world, diving deep into the roots to gently deep clean any gunk or product buildup. On the other hand, scalp scrubs rejuvenate the scalp with an exfoliating massage, restoring your head’s natural balance and luster.

Benefits of an All-Natural Scalp Scrub

Exfoliates Scalp

A scalp scrub will help to exfoliate your scalp, which is important for maintaining a healthy scalp. It can help remove dead skin cells, dirt, and oil from the scalp, which can clog pores and lead to problems such as dandruff.

Stimulates Hair Growth

Massaging the scalp with a scrub can help increase blood circulation to the area, promoting hair growth.

Prevents Dandruff

Dandruff is a common scalp problem caused by a buildup of dead skin cells, oil, and dirt. A good scalp scrub can help prevent dandruff by keeping the scalp clean and free of these buildups.

Makes Hair Look and Feel Healthier

The ingredients in a natural scrub are gentle on the hair and will not strip it of its natural oils like some commercial shampoos and conditioners can.

Saves Money

Making your own all-natural scalp scrub is also a great way to save money. Commercial scalp scrubs can be expensive, but you can easily make your own at home for a fraction of the cost.

What’s in This DIY Scalp Scrub?

B.O. Be Gone Blend

Here’s the holy grail of DIY scalp scrubs—a powerful blend named B.O. Be Gone Essential Oil Blend. This elixir will enchant you with its fresh and floral aroma while working wonders on your hair and scalp. How? Well, it’s a harmonious concoction of Lavender (known for promoting hair growth), Patchouli (the hair strengthener), Ylang-ylang (the scalp-soother and hair thickener), Orange, and Sandalwood (the uplifting, aromatic cherries on top) Essential Oils.

All-Natural Shampoo

Another ingredient in this recipe is any all-natural shampoo – we’re talking a chemical-free, earth-loving, good-for-your-hair formula. The shampoo will properly dilute the essential oils, ensuring your hair is safe from any overwhelming infusion.

Sugar (or Salt)

Sugar (or salt) or some natural exfoliants like coffee grounds, oat bran, or baking soda will create a simple yet effective recipe that’ll buff away dirt, oil, and product residue while providing precious moisture.

Things to Remember When Using This Recipe
