I bought this Ion scalp exfoliator today from Sally's for 7.49.

I rinsed then applied the exfoliator to my scalp. The tube exploded and I ended up with the scrubby stuff everywhere. After massaging it in, rinsing and lathering with a clarifying poo, I still have granules in my hair. I just decided to towel dry and dc with Keracare Humecto. Hopefully the remaining salt rinses out in the shower.

On the bright side my scalp feels really clean and light.

Due to the number of "Commercial" Scalp Exfoliators coming on the market, I feel there has to be some real truth to this whole theory regarding build up, follicle blockage, gunk etc........and the need for proper scalp exfoliation.

There is no telling how product usage and build up is effecting our scalps long term.

Or....could it be a 'marketing ploy'?

That's the one good thing about the Phytosquame. Since its a cross between a liquid & an oil, there is nothing left, like granules, on the scalp.

@almond eyes, I like it a lot. Komaza recommended it to me during my hair analysis. They give everyone a coupon code when you buy a hair analysis and mine is "ZbzzUn" if you want to use it for purchasing products. They just had a sale but should also have a sale during Black Friday too.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love komaza, I must say that I had given up on using their products until I realized that I was doing something that was causing the products not to work at their maximum best.

Best,

It's not a marketing ploy. But I do believe it's only a minority of people who gets really bad reaction to scalp build up. Unfortunately, I'm one of those people and it took me a LONG time to figure that out.

I get a bad reaction from scalp build up too. My hair itches like the dickens and there is mushy reside on my scalp. That's why co-washing are a no-no for me. I remember my scalp itched so bad, it began to bleed cause I was scratching it so much.

Great review! Did the remaining salt rinse out in the shower?

Can a scalp massager exfoliate the scalp? Or does it have to be an actual product?

I use this currently, but I have to be extra cautious as I feel like it damages my hair sometimes (with that horrid tearing sound). It feels great and I enjoy it, but it doesn't get everything. My scalp is very sensitive to buildup so I pair this with more vigorous scalp massages before shampooing.

believe me it is not a marketing ploy, the consequences it is more on the long term, and I did say that in the video.
dead skin Build up can cause heavy shedding and potential hair loss.

Thank you for your review, that is one of the reason I don't like sugar and salt based scrub for scalp.

I think the cowashing trend has led to scalp blockage, which makes products like scalp exfoliators necessary.
