After weeks of holiday foods, travel, and protective styles, your scalp might feel oily, flaky, or just… off. But do you actually need a scalp detox? And if so, what does that even mean?
Let’s break down when your scalp needs a detox and how to do it safely.
Signs You Need a Scalp Detox
Not everyone needs a detox every month, but there are a few obvious signs:
- White or yellowish flakes
- Excess oil or flat roots
- Itchy scalp
- Buildup from gels, oils, sprays, or butters
- Hair feeling dirty even after washing
- Dull or slow-growing hair
If more than two apply, your scalp is asking for a reset.
What a Scalp Detox Actually Does
A detox goes deeper than shampoo. It helps:
- Lift stubborn product buildup
- Clear blocked follicles
- Restore proper pH balance
- Reduce inflammation
- Improve circulation
- Prepare your scalp for growth
It’s like giving your scalp a “fresh start” after weeks or months of styling.
