Using hair sprays, hair mousse, serums, etc. every day can leave a lot of build-up in your hair. They make your scalp greasy and weigh down your hair. If this build-up isn’t addressed on a regular basis, it leads to the dirty, infected scalp.
Excess heat styling your hair also hinders your hair’s natural structure. For example, if you flat iron curly hair very frequently, it will ruin your hair’s natural texture. So, in order to keep your scalp and hair healthy and clean, it’s vital that you detoxify them every once in a while.
Some easy ways to detoxify your body, scalp, and hair
- Eat Clean- If you’ve been frequently eating out or relying on quick bites for a meal, give your body a break. Switch up your routine; eat greens and fruits for a while. Include foods with high fiber content such as lentils, beans, broccoli, etc. in your diet to detoxify your body. Healthy body equals healthy hair and skin.
- Scalp Scrub- When you have a lot of toxins accumulated at the roots of your hair, an exfoliating scrub can help deep cleanse your scalp. One such recipe for a scalp scrub can be easily made at home. You will need a clarifying shampoo and a few drops of tea tree oil. You can switch the clarifying shampoo for your regular shampoo mixed with a tablespoon of baking soda. Tea tree oil has antifungal and antiseptic properties. Massage this mixture on your scalp for a few minutes before rinsing it off with lukewarm water.
- Hair Rinse- To make an easy detoxifying scalp and hair rinse, all you need is some apple cider vinegar. Just add 2-3 tbsp of ACV in a cup of water and pour it on the head after shampooing your hair. Let it sit for a couple of minutes and then rinse it out. ACV is acidic in nature and thus helps in balancing your scalp’s pH. It also contains alpha-hydroxy acids allowing it to gently exfoliate and cleanse your scalp.
- Detoxifying Hair Mask- This hair treatment will exfoliate and get rid of any build-up sweat and dirt from your scalp. For this mask; you will need half a teaspoon of ground cinnamon, one teaspoon of baking soda and two tablespoons of olive oil. Mix it all together and apply it all over your scalp while parting your hair. Baking soda will unclog the pores, olive oil will treat dandruff and dryness and cinnamon will provide antifungal and anti-bacterial protection to your scalp. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes before shampooing and conditioning your hair as usual.
