I tried a scalp detox: see hair photos

I have no problems with admitting that I am an avid Tiktok roller – I have actually found some of my best beauty chop on the app. Whether it is a quick Hair trick or a completely new Make -up guidance From one of my favorite celebrities, although it sometimes takes a little digging, there are plenty of gemstones to find. Recently, the scalp “detoxes” have been all the rage on the platform, and as someone who often handles a Dry, itchy scalpI was curious to try them.

Simply put, a scalp detox helps free your scalp of product structure and dead skin cells Through peeling. If you think about it it is very meaningful. We exfoliate and hydrate our bodies and our faces, so why not our scalp? However, Tiktok’s tag is a little different. Users who tested it brought out all hair products for up to a week and then used products or professional treatments to completely clear up all structures. To try it, I chose to try a mix of a DIY-Home detox and a professional keravive scalp detox treatment.

I have previously passed seven days without washing my hair for one Hair “Reset” ExperimentAnd although the results were large, the actual detoxification period was not fun. I just wash my hair once or twice a week, but skip it completely make me feel pretty rough.

This time I waited patiently until the guy I went on a trip to Montana for a week, then I sound things. . . Well, fat. Every night before bed I used Diane shampoo massage brush ($ 9) on dry hair to gently exfoliate, but other than I jumped out on products. It meant no Dry shampooNo hair oil -Not even a hair stick to hold a sliced-back bun in place. Fat was my only hair product.

My scalp detox experience

On day seven, when I could no longer endure it, I visited Nassif MD plastic surgery in Beverly Hills to try a Keravive treatment. It was my first time, but essentially it is like a facial treatment for your scalp.

The treatment began with an aesthetic with a suction device to vacuum up debris and debris from my scalp, section after section. From there, they infused a peptide complex in my skin to help with hydration. The whole treatment took about an hour, and I did not leave before checking all the sh*t that they sucked out of my scalp. Let me tell you: It was rough. Then I left a home spray that I was told to apply the next day and leave for an hour before washing.

The next morning I practically foamed my mouth waiting to wash my hair. I applied the scalp spray, let it sit while I trained and then came in the shower. When the shampoo touched my head, it felt heavenly.

I was a little worried that so much exfoliation would leave me with more dandruff, so I decided to finish my scalp detox with Briogeo Scalp Revival Cooling Mask ($ 34). After shampooing once, I left the mask for 10 minutes, shampooing again, conditioned and then came out of the shower.

My scalp detox results

After dried my hair, I immediately noticed that my scalp felt better than it had done in months. It wasn’t itching, I couldn’t see any flakes, and it felt pussy clean. My roots were not felt by the product either. Although I do not plan to add a Keravive treatment to my monthly routine, I will probably try to do it every three months as maintenance, but I definitely plan to make a DIY -hair detox at home at least once a month and integrate Aveda scalp solutions balance shampoo ($ 28). If your scalp is oily, itchy or flaky, or if you have experienced an increased amount of hair emissions, it may be due to construction, and a scalp detox can help. If you can’t come in to get a professional treatment, I would suggest that you test the Aveda hair bottom champot.
