The 4-step routine that will prep your skin for the festive season

Does your hair feel perpetually greasy even though you wash it regularly and have figured you haircare products out? Does it look dull and lackluster? This might be your scalp telling you it requires more TLC. You see, while we prioritise the health of our hair, we often forget to do the same for our scalp. And there is only so much your regular shampoo and conditioning (and occasional masking) routine can do. If you’re nodding along, what you need is a fortnightly routine that is only focused on nourishing your scalp. To help you get started, we have put together an easy step-by-step guide to a scalp detox routine.
PS: As much as we wish we could tell you this routine will work for everyone, we can’t. Instead, think of this guide as a template that you must further refine to suit your hair and scalp type.

Scalp detox involves exfoliating and massaging the scalp. This helps slough away dead skin cells, unclog the pores on your scalp, and remove any product buildup that sits on your scalp and hair follicles. While shampoo does a decent job removing all the dirt and debris on the surface, a scalp detox takes a deeper approach to ensure that your scalp and hair are left clean.
When there is an excess buildup of impurities clogging the pores of your scalp, it not only hampers new growth but also leaves you vulnerable to bacterial infections. This often results in dandruff, weaker strands and loss of volume. This is why your scalp needs a weekly detox. Exfoliation also allows for your other scalp care products like hair oils or scalp serums to absorb better, while massaging ensures proper blood circulation, so the nutrients reach the hair faster.
Begin your scalp detox routine with a tangle teezer or a brush with dense bristles to gently press down and massage your scalp in a zig zag or circular motion. This will help stimulate the blood circulation and will also lightly exfoliate the dead skin cells.

Next, wet your hair and use an exfoliator to help remove the dead skin cells and product buildup from your scalp. Do this by sectioning your hair and massaging in a scrub. Remember to be gentle when doing so—use your fingertips to move in a circular motion for about 5 to 10 minutes before rinsing it with water. However, if you are using a liquid exfoliant instead of a physical scrub, leave the product on for about 5 to 10 minutes, before rinsing it off.

Everyone has heard of the importance of double cleansing your skin. But did you know that your scalp requires the same amount of attention (just not every day)? Start your double cleansing routine with a mild sulfate-free shampoo. This will help gently cleanse your scalp without overdrying it and ensure that any surface level dirt and debris is removed. Then, go in with a clarifying shampoo. This product will help deep cleanse the scalp, unclog pores, remove excess product buildup, and balance out the scalp.

Use your fingertips or a scalp brush to gently massage your head for about 5 minutes. Doing so helps stimulate blood flow to the follicles, allowing for an even distribution of your hair’s natural oils. This also helps the hair-loving nutrients present in your body reach the hair quicker.

Once you’ve rinsed the shampoo completely out of your hair, finish your scalp detox as you would your regular shower—with a good conditioner. Always apply it to the lengths of your hair and not your scalp, as this will leave your hair and scalp feeling greasy. Wait for the appropriate amount of time mentioned on your hair conditioner and rinse off.

End your scalp detox routine with a final cool rinse that will help close the hair cuticles. This also leaves the hair shiny, soft, and frizz-free.
