Yes, your hair could do with some good old-fashioned exfoliation
While we are all familiar with face and body scrubs, the chances are you’ve probably never even heard of a hair scrub, let alone used one.
Although shampoo and conditioner are great for cleansing your strands of dirt and oil, every so often it’s important to give your scalp a little extra TLC with a hair scrub. Designed to stimulate circulation, get rid of dead skin cells and eliminate product build-up at scalp level, hair scrubs help promote better hair growth and shine.
