We have a habit of abandoning our roots
and only focus on the appearance of our locks.
But a squeaky clean and fresh scalp can make you feel
refreshed and even keep dandruff
excess germs and oil at bay
Hi I’m Mohana and today let's make 5 of my
favourite scalp scrub recipes from scratch
and shower our roots with some love!
Type SCALP in the comments below to get
more information on how to deal with
an oily and dandruff prone scalp.
Exfoliating our hair is as important as our skin.
This not only helps in removing layers of built up dirt and
germs but also allows for effective blood circulation,
which then directly fastens the process of hair growth.
Make a mixture of 3 tablespoons of brown sugar
2 tablespoons of honey and 2 tablespoons of aloe vera gel.
Section your hair and apply thoroughly on your scalp
rubbing it in circular motions
and wash it off.
This brown sugar will help in ploughing away
the dead cells, aloe prevents itching and honey
will cleanse and condition at the same time.
Do this once a week and your scalp will thank you.
Excess oil that sits on our scalp is guilty of
blocking the cuticles not allowing any nourishment to seep in.
This impedes its ability to grow healthy
and can even lead to dandruff.
Hence, a deep cleansing scrub once a
week is something we should all do.
Mix equal amounts of sea salt and
olive oil and squeeze a bit of lemon to this mix.
Give your scalp a good massage with this for 10 minutes
and wash off with any shampoo of your choice.
The CITRIC ACID in lemon juice will get rid
of the pesky dandruff, the minerals in sea salt
will strengthen the follicles and help absorb
the grease while the olive oil will make sure your hair
remains nourished and hydrated.
Most of the time scalp issues come up
because either our scalp is producing way too
much oil or that it’s devoid of any moisture.
So, yes, the secret to a healthy scalp is maintaining this balance.
And guess what? You only need this simple scalp scrub to do so.
Mix 3 tbsp of baking soda and some conditioner together.
This is a great combination because baking soda has
impressive oil absorbing and antifungal properties while
the conditioner will make sure your scalp isnt left too overdried and sensitive.
Remember, Scrub and leave it for not more than 15 mins before washing off.
There are so many oils available that can help with hair
growth but because we rarely target them to our scalp
we often wonder if it is effective at all.
if you want to make the most of your hair oils
here is a quick scalp scrub you can indulge in.
Mix the juice of one lemon to about 4 TBSP of
almond oil and lastly add some sugar.
Almond oil has numerous hair strengthening properties
that can work wonders when you scrub your scalp with
it using sugar granules.
The lemon will cleanse your cuticles making sure the goodness
of almond oil seeps right into your roots perfectly!
I think we’re all guilty of putting undue
pressure on our hair to look its best and have put it
through various products, heat and even chemicals.
So here is an amazing scalp scrub that I often reach out to
to give my roots a dose of healthy nourishment
Take 3 tablespoons of cinnamon powder, with
a tablespoon of honey and 1 tablespoon
of warm coconut oil.
Cinnamon has the power to exfoliate at a physical
and chemical level allowing for oxygen to seep
into your damaged roots allowing it to revive it.
Honey is an antioxidant which reverses damage
and coconut oil helps alleviate dryness.
I hope you definitely try these scalp scrub concoctions
and pave way for healthy hair that starts at the very roots
Until next time Stay tuned and Stay Glamrs!
