Calming Scalp Moisturizer

Many of us treat our scalp as apart of our hair. Indeed this is not true, while the hair is connected to the scalp, the scalp is ultimately skin!

Both our skin and hair should always be moisturized. A classic example of this is when we wake up in the mornings, we usually take a shower and then apply lotion, creme or for those following this site... Shea butter! The same should be done to the scalp. We must always moisturize our scalp.

Here are some methods of moisturizing the scalp:

1. Shea Butter

2. Essential Oil of your choice i.e. coconut, jojoba, olive etc.

Another element of skin rejuvenation other than moisturizing is exfoliating. This is an easy to do method for keeping your scalp in great condition, let me tell you how!

Honey and sugar scrub!

1/4 cup of Honey

1/4 cup of Raw Brown Sugar (large grain)

*Can be used on the body and also for the scalp!

Directions:

Put honey in small bowl and add raw brown sugar. Simply mix together, until combined.

It is easier if you part your hair into four or even six parts and work in sections.

Apply the scrub to the various sections and massage the mix into your scalp, trying to avoid the actual hair. The sugar scrubs your scalp and any dead skin cells that stay on the surface layer. The honey adds vitamins and moisture to your scalp which helps to heal any damaged cut or bruised scalp areas one might have. This occurs from over styling, harsh products or ruff handling of your hair which pull on the scalp.

I love this scrub, it has many great benefits.

One might ask why don't I use the coffee scrub on my scalp. I think that is a very valid question. I have considered it however the grounds from the coffee are very hard to get out of the hairs after it has been applied. The sugar is strong and the texture will definitely remove any dead skin cells. After you are finished scrubbing your scalp you simply rinse with warm water and the sugar desolves and the honey washes away.

Coffee scrub is great for the skin. If you happen to love the coffee scrub, I would recommend using it on your scalp if you have shorter hair or have just done the BC. It will be easier to get the grounds out! A brush would also help to remove the coffee grounds although you might have several lingering.

Try the honey sugar scrub and let me know what you think!
