What is scalp exfoliation?

Scalp exfoliation involves using physical or chemical exfoliants to remove excess skin cells, oil, and dandruff from the roots of the hair. It can also stimulate the follicle to improve regrowth and offers a remedy to those who suffer from itchy scalp, oiliness or sensitivity.

Is exfoliating the scalp good?

Here at GG, we believe you should never skip the scalp! A clean, refreshed scalp promotes good cell turnover, leading to healthier-looking hair.  Many hair experts maintain that regular scalp exfoliation is the key to healthier, shinier hair from the roots to the tips. Scalp exfoliation can be a soothing and stress-relieving way to invigorate the scalp. In a way, exfoliation can benefit almost anyone who tries it!

Our NEW Scalp Detox Scrub

It’s time to achieve that deep clean feeling! A purifying pre-wash treatment that instantly detoxifies and refreshes scalps with a tendency for grease and product build-up, going the extra mile to help get the very best out of your hair. The powerful scalp-clarifying formula balances excess sebum and gently buffs away follicle-clogging grime caused by urban pollution, plus other dulling impurities that can scupper hair’s potential. Enjoy an invigorating shower experience as you deep clean your scalp and purify your strands.
