Just like the skin on your face, the scalp needs to be exfoliated to remove impurities, dead skin cells, and excess sebum. This step helps to cleanse the scalp and promotes better absorption of the subsequent treatments.
How to do it: Apply a gentle exfoliant to the damp scalp, then massage with your fingertips in circular motions. Leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing thoroughly.
Tip: Exfoliating once a week is enough to avoid further irritation.
