Why Scalp Exfoliation Matters
Over time, the scalp accumulates sebum, dead cells, and residue, leading to blocked follicles and irritation. Exfoliating:
✔ Removes buildup to prevent clogged follicles
✔ Stimulates blood flow for better nutrient absorption
✔ Supports a balanced scalp microbiome to reduce flaking and irritation
When the scalp is healthy, hair grows without disturbance or negative impact stronger, shinier, and less prone to breakage.
How Scalp Exfoliation Supports Hair Growth
Blocked follicles weaken hair strands, causing excessive shedding. Exfoliation:
🔹 Improves oxygenation and nutrient delivery
🔹 Regulates oil production to prevent excess dryness or greasiness
🔹 Creates the perfect environment for healthy hair growth
An oily scalp can encourage dandruff and inflammation, while a dry scalp can cause irritation. Exfoliation helps maintain natural balance and prevents these issues.
The Best Way to Exfoliate Your Scalp
For a gentle yet effective scalp exfoliation, use 023 Hydro Mask Sebo Light for 2B-3A hair and 020 Hydro Mask Sebo Riche for 3B-4C hair. Both contain Red Willow Bark Extract, a natural source of salicylic acid (BHA) that:
Reading time: 3 min

✔ Provides antibacterial & anti-inflammatory benefits

How to Exfoliate Properly
1️⃣ Choose the Right Exfoliant – Physical scrubs manually remove buildup, while chemical exfoliants (BHA-based formulas) penetrate deeper.
2️⃣ Wash your hair with 010 Slip Wash Pro, leave for 5 minutes and rinse well.
3️⃣ Apply 020 Hydro Mask Sebo Riche or 023 Hydro Mask Sebo Light to damp scalp,
4️⃣ Massage in circular motions, clockwise with a food graded silicone scalp brush and leave for 20 minutes. NOTE! never use a hard plastic scalp brush, it may cause micro soars on your scalp.
5️⃣ Rinse Thoroughly – Ensure no residue remains to keep follicles clear. Follow with a hydrating scalp serum i.e 201 Conditioning Oil Serum
Adjust Frequency – Exfoliate once a week or as needed. Sensitive scalps should start with less frequent use. Happy Exfoliating!
