Let’s do 5 DIY Scalp Detox Recipes to Stimulate Hair Growth [With Easy Alternatives]

Your scalp is the soil on where hair grows. In reality, often this vital ground is completely ignored, yet you want healthy and strong hair!

Have you seen any engineer who wants to build skyscrapers didn’t pay attention to the soil support? Why; because even foundations need a solid foundation.

So it makes sense to pay attention to the scalp (the foundation) at first. If you fail to protect your scalp’s natural mechanism, I bet your dream to get a healthy hair will remain a dream! Consequently, the vitality of our bodies diminishes as we ages and our hair follicles are no different than that. And the telltale sign would be hair loss or pattern baldness or your hair becomes dull and brittle.

The scalp skin is more delicate and has a higher number of different glands and hair follicles, thus it demanded to get more care than our other part of the body’s skin. So it’s crucial to keep it clean-up, free of toxic product build-up, nutrient-rich, moisturized, healthy and hair-productive as much as possible. Besides, today’s urban life subjects us to high levels of pollution that lead to toxin buildups which again cause dandruff, flaking, excess sebum, fungal infections, and dryness.

Seems like this is one heck of a job to keep things natural! Not actually. You don’t need to spend billions of dollars to get some best quality anti-pollution detoxes that are helpful to protect our scalp and scalp concerns. There are different kinds actually. Worry not, I’ve compiled 5 best DIY scalp detox recipes that you already have at hand.
