10 Best homemade scalp scrubs for your hair
Scrubs for your scalp are just similar to body scrubs. They exfoliate your scalp and remove product buildup, debris, excess oil and dead skin cells that always accumulate at the root of your hair. Exfoliation is essential for having shiny, healthy hair. Not exfoliating your scalp can result in clogged follicles, itchy, flaky skin and dull hair. Exfoliating regularly, on the other hand, can help hair become naturally thicker, shinier and less oily.
