Scalp Exfoliation: Before And After

[g.lo]

Hi ladies,

I have been in lurking mode for a long time.
I wanted to share this picture I took of a scalp, and the difference that one exfoliation has made ( I used the philip kingsley scalp mask).
the young lady washes her hair on a weekly basis, although not noticeable to the naked eye, her scalp was really congested. I have been invited to different hair show and seminars here in Uk and Paris, and i have seen hundreds of heads, and about 95% although they take care of their hair and scalp, have dead skin build up and trapped sebum without knowing. the worst case , was when they use conditioner to clean the scalp.
I have filmed a video explaining everything ( a bit long sorry), hope this will help somebody.
Sorry for my accent as french is my first language.

Nice Video! Very helpful.

I recently purchased Naturelle Grow's Espresso Scalp Exfoliation. Haven't tried it yet tho.

I've used/tried Phyto before and looked at Philip Kingsley. Ouidad also has one.

Thank You.

ETA: Can you exfoliate using a Scalp Brush?

How effective are the Exfoliating Products? How was the Philip Kingsley?

How often should you use such product? And does Clarifying help?

Or is it the scrubbing that helps with the Exfoliating process?

the philip kingsley was very effective as you can see on the before and after. I am giving details on the video.
I recommend to exfoliate once a week ( if you shampoo once a week), but that will depend on the frequency you shampoo your hair.
Unless there are ingredients in the shampoo (including clarifying shampoo) that will effectively remove dead skin, it is better to you a scalp exfoliant.
Enzymes based or salicylic exfoliant do not require scrubbing, as they soften dead skins ready to be washed out ( also remove harden sebum inside the follicle). Exfoliant without enzymes, will rely on beads, or coarse substance and scrubbing to remove dead skin.

@g.lo

Thanks. I think the Phyto had the necessary enzymes to properly exfoliate.

It was more like Clary Sage, Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Rosemary etc......

The Naturelle Grow is more of a 'scrub' (I haven't tried it yet) But she has several Scalp Exfoliators in her line.

I was NOT ready for that up close pic, thank god I ate already.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Will use a vial of Phyto for tomorrow's wash day.

Now I wish I would have kept the Ouidad Bay Leaf one I pick up from Marshall's.

May go back and see if they still have those just to have on hand.

@g.lo excellent video and when you step back and think about it, it makes complete sense that the scalp needs to be exfoliated regularly. I'm curious if in doing so some people have experienced a perceived "growth spurt" because their hair follicles are healthier when really they are probably growing at their optimal normal rate...what are your thoughts?

One thing is for sure, I'm going out this week to pick up one of the products you've recommended and will incorporate it into my routine.

Again, great video and thanks for posting it!

I found the Philip Kingsley one here for $6.67:

http://www.lifeandlooks.com/en/Philip-Kingsley-Exfoliating-Scalp-Mask/m-18197.aspx

Thinking about trying it. My scalp looks really healthy and it says it's only for dry, flakey scalps but it won't hurt to do it a few times a year just to make sure nothing is congested or clogged.

 

[g.lo]

Please if you know more scalp exfoliating products, list them. I would like to try them and compare results.

No harm in trying. The scalp pictures on naked eye looked fine, a bit oily, because she did apply oil and had gel on her hair.

@g.lo

That sounds like a sample size? Very small.

I may check back to see if I can pick up Ouidad.

If I can't find the Ouidad at Marshall's, I may look at Kiehl's. (They also have one)

ETA: I think certain "Teas" for Tea Rinsing might have similar properties.

[VirtuousGal]

Are there any possible diy exfoliates that will clean our scalps just as well?

I was going to ask that also. I know apple cider vinegar has enzymes in it... I wonder if incorporating it would be a good exfoliator...

@g.lo
I had two of these (bolded) a while back, I picked up at Marshall's and ended up taking it back.

I'm looking at the Kiehls. The one I am currently using from Phyto is: Phytosquame.

 

[overtherainbow]

Thank you so much for sharing the video and pics!!! I experience more shedding than I would like and have a somewhat oily scalp. I'm going to start researching ingredients now to see which enzyme based exfolianthe fits my reggie.

 

[g.lo]

yes, you could mix aloe vera gel with ( 1 to 2 ounces) with 10 drops of AHA's.
Aha can be purchased online, from suppliers of lotion, beauty craft.
Also always perform a patch test. Rhassoul and bentonite clay to exfoliate to a certain extend.

I have to check the phytosquame. See you should have followed your instinct.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@g.lo

Yep. I should have kept at least x1 Tube of the Ouidad.

 

[julzinha]

Is it possible to exfoliate using your finger tips while placing the shampoo directly on the scalp?
