That we must exfoliate the skin at least once a week is a rule that we know we have an obligation to comply with if we want to have skin free of impurities, without blackheads and with a more unified, healthy and hydrated complexion. However, the exfoliation of the scalp can generate more doubts. It is necessary? Do we have to incorporate it into our hair routine? Well, exfoliating the scalp is essential to have nourished, healthy and clean hair for longer.

As with the rest of the body, exfoliation of the scalp is necessary to promote cell regeneration of the skin of our hair. But cell regeneration is not the only benefit that hair exfoliation brings us.

The frequency of application of the hair scrub depends, to a large extent, on the type of hair (if you have thick, fine, oily hair…) and the type of product. Although it is true that it is generally recommended to use it once a week and apply it with a deep massage so that the product penetrates well. In the market you can find a wide variety of scalp exfoliants specialized in different types of hair. We recommend that, if you have doubts about which one can be more effective on your hair, you visit a trichologist dermatologist who will assess and evaluate your case to incorporate an exfoliant into your hair routine.
