At ZALA, we're always on the look out for the latest hair and beauty trends. DIY Scalp scrubs are gaining popularity in the beauty community. By gently exfoliating your scalp and roots, your hair is meant to appear more voluminous and shiny! And oh boy do we love shine! So read on as we explore this trend and The Benefits of a DIY scalp Scrub, and a DIY Scrub that you can make using ingredients you have at home.
DIY Scalp Scrub
We've researched the best ingredients to ensure your DIY scalp scrub is effective and affordable.
Coffee and Coconut Oil, the two holy grails to make themselves known in the beauty community. These two items you will easily find in your pantry at home, and if you don't have them on hand, you will be able to pick them up for cheap at your nearest grocery store.
What you'll need:
- Ground Coffee Beans (2 Teaspoons)
- Cold Pressed Coconut oil (2 Tablespoons)
For this DIY Scalp Scrub, a little goes a long way! We would suggest making batches as you need them. For this scrub 1-2 table spoons of coconut oil and 2 teaspoons of ground coffee beans will do the trick!
Method:
- In a small plastic container, combine the ingredients using a spoon. You'll find that the coconut oil does soften quickly therefore you should be able to mix this with the coffee easily.
- In the shower, wet your hair with warm water to encourage this scrub to spread.
- Gently massage your DIY Coffee & Coconut Oil scrub into your scalp for 2-3 minutes.
- Thoroughly rinse out of your hair and follow by washing your hair as normal with sulphate free shampoo and conditioner. (You may need to shampoo your hair 2-3 times to ensure your hair is not left greasy.)
Let your hair dry and enjoy feeling invigorated!
The Benefits of coffee and coconut Oil for your scalp and hair
By invigorating your scalp and roots with a scrub, it promotes blood flow and oxygen to the surface of your scalp, promoting hair growth and volume. Coconut oil is also very hydrating and naturally contains Hyaluronic Acid which is also beneficial to cuticle regeneration. Your hair will appear refreshed and shiny.
