Exfoliate

Exfoliating your scalp removes dead skin cells and stimulates the scalp's natural renewal process. It removes dirt that has accumulated and can relieve itching. This can be done with a treatment and/or with the help of a brush designed for the scalp.

• So Eco Massaging Scalp Brush gently cleanses and exfoliates impurities from your scalp. Increases blood circulation and also delivers oxygen and nutrients that hair follicles need to maximize hair growth. Massage shampoo into wet hair with circular movements for a few minutes, repeat 2-3 times every two to three weeks for best results.

Massage

Scalp massage with a brush or by hand removes styling residue and helps cleanse the scalp more thoroughly. Massage also increases blood circulation, which awakens hair follicles and can lead to fuller hair. At the same time, massage relieves tense muscles, reduces stress and increases oxytocin levels. Try massaging your scalp for a few minutes every day.

Detox

Detoxing the scalp means thoroughly removing buildup such as greasy styling residue, oils and even metals from impurities that can clog the scalp. Detoxing should not be done too often as it can be drying to the scalp, but about 2 times a month it is important to really wash the scalp.

Bonus tips

1. Don't overwash your hair , it can lead to a dry and itchy scalp. The scalp needs to rest between washes to get its natural sebum to work, which lubricates the scalp.
2. Always shampoo your scalp twice . The first shampooing cleans the hair from dirt and grease. The second shampooing allows the shampoo's active ingredients to work and you achieve the results the shampoo promises.
3. Rinse thoroughly , it is important to rinse out shampoo, hair treatment and conditioner so that no residue remains and irritates the scalp or weighs down or makes the hair greasy.
4. Wash your hair with moderately warm water, hot water dries it out and cold water makes it difficult to really get your hair and scalp clean.
5. Use a gentle dry shampoo that doesn't clog and stress the scalp, but allows it to continue to breathe and produce sebum.
6. Avoid silicones and hair waxes that are difficult to wash out, they can clog and "suffocate" the scalp, which when clogged cannot absorb strengthening ingredients from our products.
7. Skip putting your hair up when it's wet , it makes your hair take longer to dry and your scalp stays moist for far too long, which can create an unclean environment with irritation and fungus on the scalp.
8. If you have thick hair, even if you don't want to blow-dry your entire head, make sure to dry your scalp so you don't leave it damp for too long, which can cause irritation.
9. Get started, the scalp is washed - the hair is cared for. It is the scalp that should receive most of the shampoo and massage, the hair will be cleaned when the shampoo is rinsed out. The conditioner is massaged primarily into the lengths and the scalp gets its share when the conditioner is rinsed out.

Summary

Exfoliate your scalp with a scalp brush every two to three weeks or as needed, combined with a detoxifying shampoo and/or detox treatment to deeply cleanse your scalp of buildup and grease. Stimulate blood circulation and increase your oxytocin by massaging your scalp with a massage brush for a few minutes a day. Care for your scalp with moisturizing shampoo, conditioner, treatment and leave-in specially designed for the scalp. Fuller hair starts at the scalp.
