Is it true that... you need to detox your scalp?
A good scalp cleanse can be useful, but it partly depends where you live
TL;DR
- The "skinification" of the scalp means increased attention and product development for scalp health.
- New products claim to "detox" the scalp, promising shinier hair and boosted growth.
- Cleansing the scalp can help remove product buildup that may clog hair follicles.
- Hard water areas can exacerbate product buildup due to mineral deposits.
- Polluted areas may lead to traffic-associated chemical deposits on the scalp.
- Expensive products may not be necessary; sulfate-free shampoos or double-shampooing can be effective.
- The term "detox" is debated as these products do not remove toxins in a dangerous sense.
