Scalp Exfoliating Shampoo

Clarifying scalp scrub — reset your roots every few washes

~CGM ModifiedScalpProtein-FreeStep: Cleanse

Our Take

A clarifying shampoo with physical exfoliating particles that deep-cleans the scalp, removes product buildup, and unblocks hair follicles. Designed for periodic use — roughly every 2–4 washes rather than every wash day. Particularly useful for curlies who use heavy styling products, live in hard water areas, or experience scalp irritation and flakiness. Energising and refreshing on application. Follow with a generous conditioner to restore moisture after the deeper cleanse.

How to Use

Apply to wet hair and massage thoroughly into the scalp using circular motions for at least 1–2 minutes to lift product buildup and dead skin cells. Rinse thoroughly. Use once or twice a week rather than as a daily shampoo — follow with conditioner.
