agitate the scalp in any way. Some “natural” detoxes do that, but this one doesn’t.
Ingredients
- 1 tsp Olive oil: Olive oil is filled with antioxidants that are great for fighting dandruff and moisturizing the scalp.
- 2 tsp Baking soda: Baking soda is a natural cleanser that absorbs grease, oil and any unwanted product residue.
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon: This spice prevents fungal and bacterial infections that one may accumulate over time. It also has organic compounds that are antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial.

Directions
To apply the exfoliant, separate the hair into small sections and rub in circular motions to effectively get rid of excessive toxins.
Next, cover the head with a shower cap for 10-15 minutes for the mixture to properly detox the scalp for desired results.
Finally, shampoo and condition the hair thoroughly to cleanse the hair and scalp.
It is important that one does not do this treatment more than once a month. Overusing this exfoliant can result in irritating the scalp and eventually causing more harm than good in the long run.
