Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. Your hair needs a clean and healthy environment inorder to grow right? If you have product build up, itchy or flaky scalp try this DIY scalp massage to circulate the blood and exfoliate your scalp before shampooing or co-washing your hair.
You will need: brown sugar, honey and a moisturizing conditioner
*some people say to use unrefined raw sugar but I tend to think the raw granules would be too harsh on the scalp*
Brown sugar not only smells great but serves as the exfoliant in this recipe. The honey serves as the humectant adding shine and moisture to your tresses while the conditioner works as the smoothing product.
Mix 2 tablespoons of sugar, honey and conditioner in a bowl, part hair in 4 workable sections and massage each thoroughly. Be sure to massage with the tips of your fingers and not your nails as to avoid creating tears in your scalp or causing irritation. You may even choose to use this as a therapeutic spa treatment by turning on soothing music, lighting candles or burning incense. Afterward be sure to rinse thoroughly and clean hair as usual.
