Think of your scalp skin as an extension of the skin on your face. Your face and scalp produce natural moisturizers (sebum) and shed old skin cells. When old cells and sebum build up, they can clog your pores and restrict healthy hair growth. Your strands may appear thinner and your scalp could become oily, itchy and vulnerable to bacterial infections. Exfoliating the skin on your face is the best way to keep it clean and healthy. It’s the same for your scalp. Scrub is designed to gently cleanse debris from your scalp, leaving pores clean and open. When your scalp is clean and exfoliated, you can expect thicker, healthier, hair. Scrub is the perfect primer for topical treatments like our serum To The Root™.

Unlike clarifying shampoos which focus on buildup on your hair, a scalp scrub deep-cleanses your scalp to remove sebum and dead skin cells. Exfoliating your scalp with Scrub is an effective way to remove product buildup, reduce oiliness, and pore-clogging debris, clear flakes by washing away old skin cells, encourage thicker hair strands by unclogging your hair follicles. When your scalp is clean and exfoliated, you can expect thicker, healthier, hair.

If you’re experiencing dull hair, an itchy or flaky scalp, flat oily roots, and dry ends, it’s time to start thinking about your scalp health. You may be suffering from over-cleansing OR scalp buildup from under-cleansing. Buildup occurs from layers of product residue, dead skin cells, and excess oil on your scalp and can clog your hair follicles and lead to scalp and hair issues such as dandruff, itching, hair loss, and thinning. Scrub is designed to exfoliate your scalp to remove buildup and keep it fresh and healthy.

No, Scrub utilizes salicylic, glycolic and lactic acids to gently and efficiently remove oil and dead skin cell buildup from the scalp without the use of abrasive exfoliants. Scrub does contain a small amount of perlite which helps thicken the formula during use, but it is not shown to be abrasive on the scalp.

Yes, Scrub does contain the Mela-9™ Complex which is a combination of antioxidants, extracts and a clinically effective peptide. The Mela-9™ Complex is most effective when used daily and in combination with Not Today, Grey. When using Scrub, we recommend pairing it with Wash shampoo or To The Root™ serum, both of which contain the Mela-9™ Complex.
