You always hear about a great detox for the body, but what about a nice detox for your scalp? A scalp detox is great for exfoliating the scalp and removing any buildup on it. This gives your head of hair a real chance to breath and grow.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon of baking soda
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder
Apple cider vinegar

Directions

Mix baking soda, olive oil and cinnamon together.
Use a generous amount of the mask on your scalp.
Using your fingertips, massage your scalp in a gentle circular motion. This will stimulate and increase circulation, while removing pore-clogging dead skin cells.
Wrap a shower cap around your hair such that it covers your scalp and hair completely.
Leave it on for about 10-15 minutes.
Shampoo and condition as usual. You have now removed the buildup and oil that was polluting your scalp.
Finish your detox treatment off with an apple cider vinegar rinse. This will help kill any bacteria on the scalp that creates dandruff. It will also produce a healthy shine on the hair.
