Washing your hair isn’t good enough to get your hair properly cleaned because your hair products could be leaving residue and chemicals that are building up on your scalp. Then you will begin seeing all the hair problems such as; hair loss, dandruff, greasy hair and hair fall.
WHY DETOX YOUR SCALP AND HAIR?
- Get rid of toxin build-up to promote healthy new growth

This is a great way to relieve all the tense and stress and improve circulation to your follicles which supply the hair roots with oxygen, nutrients and carry toxin away from your scalp.

Detoxing your scalp doesn’t mean that’s good enough for your hair if you continue to do whatever you want with your hair. You need to develop healthy hair habits and try as much as possible to avoid styling products .
DETOX RECIPES
Here are some of the recipes I’ve personally used:
Clay Scalp Detox
The Indian Aztec Clay is one of my personal favorites. I mix the clay with apple cider vinegar and olive oil. Leave it on for 30 minutes then rinse it out.

Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse
I have a weird liking for ACV even though many people are irked by its smell I personally like the smell.
With the ACV I’ll mix 1 part of it with 4 parts water in a bottle. After washing my hair, I’ll tilt my head backwards and spread the rinse through my hair. After a few seconds, I’ll rinse my hair with cold water to seal in the moisture.
