Scalp Exfoliation: Before And After

[*~*Afrolicious*~*]

Sephora had one scalp exfoliator product http://www.sephora.com/caviar-clinical-exfoliating-scalp-facial-P386314?skuId=1602895. My scalp prior to using it was fine, but it felt a bit irritated or "clogged" from working out 5 times a week, even though i shampooed or rinsed my hair at least twice a week. My scalp instantly felt better after using this product. Thanks for the information OP!

Thanks for the info. Im sitting here scratching my scalp with the finger on the trigger for my cart... lol

believe me it is not a marketing ploy, the consequences it is more on the long term, and I did say that in the video.
dead skin Build up can cause heavy shedding and potential hair loss.

I ordered the Phillip Kingsley one from Amazon. It came to $13 including shipping.

Thank you! I have been eyeing this Nixon product for awhile and this thread made me take the plunge.

@JunMom2Be Thanks for posting this product - I just ordered one. Some the reviewers posted that the bottle is intended for one use and you should dispose of the remainder. They commented that made the product expensive. One reviewer, said she simply covered the bottle with plastic wrap and use it for more treatments. I'll see how much left after me and my daughter use it.

Thanks again!

Ayurveda approach:

"

Basic ingredient are: Shikakai, Reetha, Amla, Bhangra, Brahmi, and Hibiscus.
Optional ingredients include: Fenugreek, Neem, Lime juice, Almond, Mustard oil, Cinnamon and cloves, Chai (tea leaves)
Shampoo ingredients are optimized to cleanse scalp, moisturize scalp, prevent possible hair loss, prevent pre-mature grey hair, slightly restore natural black Indian hair color, promote thick hair grow. Modern studies have shown that Fenugreek seed promote hair growth, it is not a part of traditional Ayurveda claim."

Hmm... Thanks for the info. I didn't read all that. lol. I also ordered a bottle. I'm waring crochet braids for protective styling. I've been doing sugar scrub in between installation. I will try this treatment this next time.

In my post I stated that I beweaved you should exfoliate........

The "Marketing Ploy" piece was me being 'controversial'

 

[IDareT'sHair]

where do you purchase the phyto?

I picked up a small bottle of the Nioxin shampoo since I was near an ulta. I plan to only use this once or twice a month.

 

[greenandchic]

I was just at Ulta and didn't see any of the products mentioned there. The brands were, but not those specific products.

The Phillip Kingsley Exfoliating Mask came........shampooed, rinsed, the pointed end which made it easy to apply to the parted hair. Massaged in applied Sweet Greens to length, slight tingling feeling on scalp, left on 20 minutes & rinsed.

I like the results, my scalp felt clean & refreshed. I had some mild itching and this mask seemed to have stopped it. Hair is moisturized and smooth from the deep conditioner. I will continue to use this combo and see if it helps with growth.

You got the little tube right? How many uses do you think you can get from that?

 

[divachyk]

Do you know if it also removes sebum or just dead skin?

After reading your review I really want to try it, but I'll have to wait until the next sale.

Hi @snoop, good question. Let me ask Komaza b/c I don't know. I already have an email in to them on something else so I will see if I can squeeze this question in too.

 

[CodeRed]

Putting my Hercules Sagemann brush up for sale in the exchange forum. Just got it today, looked at it and realized that's going to be a no-go for my relaxed hair.... I'll do the Philip Kinsley and maybe the Phyto for scalp exfoliation instead.

 

[Prettymetty]

Great review! Did the remaining salt rinse out in the shower?

No. Salt was still falling out during the detangling and braiding process lol. It's ok though. I know I used too much since the tube exploded. I think if I had used less I wouldn't have had any problems

 

[Ltown]

@IDareT'sHair , do you think the shea moisture purification mask do the job in exfoliating the scalp?

@Ltown
Good Point. It does have Kanolin Clay? This is a good question for @g.lo

It is more creamier I assume than Bentonite and Terressential?

So, in essence, I'm really not sure?

I know they all are suppose to "Detox."

 

[CodeRed]

Looking at Neutrogena T/Sal Shampoo... Thanks @Nightingale for that suggestion. That would be easier to incorporate into my regimen as I started shampooing again recently....

Added the Nioxin to my Amazon cart. Will probably start this exfoliation routine in October.

Yes the small one, maybe 5-6 uses, my head isn't that big, close to peanut size glad I have the larger one coming that CodeRed posted the link for.

Oh that's good to hear, I was worried that it would only serve for one use...

 

[Kitamita]

@g.lo Thank you for sharing this information. I want to try to exfoliate my scalp. My scalp has been feeling congested since I have been co-washing my hair. I have a bottle latic acid and aloe gel I was thinking of using.

Though I do have a keratin treatment in my hair. I wasn't sure if that would strip that from my hair at the roots .

If you ladies have any advice let me know.

@IDareT'sHair , do you think the shea moisture purification mask do the job in exfoliating the scalp?

My hair and scalp always feel a little coated after using this mask by itself. I prefer to use my own clay mix.

People mentioned clay earlier. I use clay regularly- bentonite and rhassoul mixed. Would that do the job or is it still necessary (is there more benefit) to use one of these exfoliating products?

@snoop, Komaza said....

Pona only helps lift the buildup; helps to maintain a healthy scalp and promotes healthy growth.

Prevents hair loss and minimizes excessive hair shed.

Thickens hair shaft and stimulates hair growth.

Promotes healthy scalp and eliminates dandruff.

Prevents shampoos from completely stripping hair of necessary oil.

Great for those who suffer from folliculitis, psoriasis, and eczema

Pairs perfectly with the Anagen Elite for those who suffer from hair loss

@AbsyBlvd This is probably a question for @g.lo

Thanks for your feedback on the SM Purification Masque

@sharifeh
I had this before. I like it. I thought I had some left, but can't find it.

 

[Ltown]

Interesting thread and information, it seems that the recommended products can be expensive for those of us who use a lot of products and wash weekly. I will be following hoping for more reasonable price products. @Prettymetty thanks for Ion review. @IDareT'sHair , i've never seen Ouidad in my area but i'll be looking around. thanks

 

[snoop]

@g.lo

The question I have is, how does a healthy amount of sebum for into the equation?

If we add oils and moisturizers to our hair because the curl pattern prevents is from getting that sebum coating down the strands, could we exfoliate to much as to not allow our scalp create that coating? For example, exfoliating once a week versus once a month?

I just used the Neutrogena T/Sal Shampoo yesterday, thanks to this thread. The box says it's for crusty, flaky scalps so repeat the shampoo twice and leave it on for several minutes. (It actually used the word crusty! ). Since my scalp is neither flaky or crusty, I only shampooed once and left it on for about 15 minutes. I can't really tell a difference, but I'm sure it had an effect if I could see it under the microscope. I'll repeat every wash day for about 5 times, and then after that I'll probably use once per month.
