did you know your scalp can become "intoxicated"?
Often, we focus on hair care products that target the hair fiber, overlooking a critical part of our hair's health: the scalp. The scalp is the origin of many hair concerns, from excessive shedding to lack of shine and density. For Miriam, scalp exfoliation is essential to revitalize and rejuvenate your hair, making it a key step in any anti-aging hair treatment.
why does the scalp become "intoxicated"?
There are two main causes of scalp intoxication:
1. External Factors: Pollution, dust, styling product buildup, and natural oils accumulate, forming a layer of toxins on the scalp. Even regular washing may not completely remove these impurities, leaving hair looking dull and lifeless.
2. Internal Factors: Our lifestyle can impact our cells' natural detoxification process, known as "autophagy." When this ability decreases, toxins build up in the scalp, affecting hair growth and quality.
the solution: scalp exfoliation
To combat this buildup, scalp exfoliation is essential. A weekly scalp exfoliation can free up hair follicles and improve scalp permeability, enhancing nutrient and oxygen absorption. This simple habit not only improves scalp health but also boosts the effectiveness of the other products in your hair care routine.
types of scalp exfoliation: mechanical vs. chemical
There are two main types of scalp exfoliation:
· Mechanical Exfoliation: This method uses micro-particles to remove impurities through gentle friction, ideal for deep cleaning without harming the scalp.
· Chemical Exfoliation: This method uses mild acids to break down dead cells and residue without rubbing, providing a deep-purifying effect.
which is better? double exfoliation
Miriam recommends combining both mechanical and chemical exfoliation to maximize benefits. Alternating between these types of scalp exfoliation enhances the penetration of active ingredients and helps combat scalp micro-inflammation.

application guide: how to exfoliate your scalp
For effective mechanical scalp exfoliation:
1. Apply the exfoliator on dry or slightly damp scalp, sectioning the hair.
2. Gently massage in circular motions from root to tip.
3. For enhanced results, wrap your hair in a warm towel while the product sets.
4. Rinse and complete the ritual with nourishing, restorative products.

Taking care of your scalp is essential to achieving beautiful, healthy hair. Exfoliating the scalp once a week is an investment in your hair’s long-term health, bringing you closer to stronger, shinier, and more revitalized hair.
