When most people come across the word ‘chemical’ in a product, they tend to panic and avoid it altogether. However, you must investigate the ingredients and understand the type and quantity of chemicals in question.
Regarding scalp detox, you can either use a physical or chemical exfoliant. Both have their pros and cons. Natural scalp exfoliants come in the form of ingredients that should be scrubbed on the scalp to remove dead skin cells and other impurities. On the other hand, chemical scalp exfoliants don’t require you to scrub. Instead, the ingredients in the product break up dead skin cells enabling the build-up to peel from your scalp on its own.
If you are after effectiveness, a chemical exfoliant is more thorough. On the other hand, if you have a sensitive scalp, a physical exfoliant is the best option. All in all, both have the same benefit; they give you healthier hair from the root down.
