Are your curls growing slowly, and does it seem like it takes forever to achieve any length? Are your curls dull, frizzy, and difficult to style? Do you have a dry, flaky scalp? If so, it might be time to detox your scalp. Believe it or not, your scalp takes a lot of abuse. It’s very easy for the scalp to get clogged up with product, as well as dead skin cells. While this is pretty gross, you can fortunately do something about it. Here’s how to detox your scalp for better curl growth.
How To Detox Your Scalp For Better Curl Growth
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 tablespoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons virgin olive oil
What to do:
Take each ingredient and mix into a small bowl. Mix until all the ingredients are completely blended. If your scalp is particularly clogged, you can also consider adding a spoonful of brown sugar to the mix.
Taking your mixture, step into the shower under warm water. Allow your curls to become completely saturated with warm water. Once your curls are wet, apply the mixture. Using your finger tips, work it throughout your strands. Massage in slow, gentle circles without tangling up your curls. Allow the mixture to sit for a couple of minutes before rinsing out with warm water. You can follow up with a gentle cleansing shampoo, and a wash out conditioner. This is also a great time to use a leave in conditioner to make sure moisture is restored to your curls.
How often to use:
This product should be made fresh whenever you need a scalp detox. If you exclusively cowash or use a lot of product in your curls, such as dry shampoo, you might want to consider detoxing once or twice a month. If you use less product or shampoo more often, you might not need to detox as often. By regularly detoxing, you should notice healthier, shinier curls soon!
