2. To relieve a dry, flaky scalp<\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n
A dry, flaky scalp is more than skin deep\u2014it\u2019s visible and it can hurt our self-esteem as well as our hair health. A natural, nourishing scalp scrub can gently loosen dead skin without irritation while simultaneously hydrating and moisturizing dry, itchy skin. CBD powder<\/a>, grapefruit oil<\/a>, and pro-vitamin B<\/a> are a few of the ingredients we recommend for hydrating and soothing an inflamed scalp. However, if you experience dryness and flakiness from conditions like psoriasis, acne, eczema, it\u2019s best to consult a dermatologist about the best solution for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Your scalp microbiome<\/a> is like a perfectly composed choire of microorganisms (aka good bacteria and yeast) singing in harmony. But problems arise when one type of bacteria overpowers the others and the harmony is thrown off balance. Some causes of an imbalanced scalp microbiome are overwashing, harsh chemicals like sulfates, and buildup. Scalp scrub ingredients like kombucha<\/a> and prebiotics can aid in a healthy scalp microbiome, while choosing natural, sulfate-free hair products is the best prevention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Think of your hair like a bed of flowers and the scalp as the soil bed that all those beautiful buds spring forth from. If your soil is clogged with debris and dead leaves, it\u2019s harder for things to grow. Using a scalp scrub keeps dead skin, buildup, and oil at bay so hair follicles can sprout up and grow longer, stronger, and shinier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s not forget that an added benefit of using a scalp scrub is that you get to give yourself a scalp massage while breathing in gentle scents from ingredients like grapefruit and eucalyptus oil. Taking that extra minute to soothe yourself and support your hair and scalp health is pure self-care. And if you want to follow it up with a post-shower face mask and a glass of wine, then all we have to say is brava, friend! <\/p>\n\n\n3. To balance the scalp microbiome <\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n
