When Should You Do a Hair Detox?

Does your hair feel sticky , heavy, matted or tangled? These are huge signs a hair detox might be necessary in your future.

More often than not, there is a significant amount of build up to do chemicals, films and deposits on hair. This is a sign that there is something in the shampoo, conditioner, hairspray and other hair products. These products are leaving a residue behind. Not only does it make our hair greasy looking and heavy, but it can clog the follicle at the base of the scalp. Our scalp needs to breath. Needs to be cleansed of these toxins and build up.

If your hair and scalp feel extremely oily.

These toxins and build up can also cause pimples and blemishes to the scalp and face. Around the hairline, especially in pre pubescent teens. This is a sign that you might be using the wrong shampoos and conditioners. Many drug store brands strip the hair of its natural oils, making the scalp over work and produce more oil.

Or maybe your hair feels dry and brittle?

Or you shed a lot. These are also signs of bad hair routines. Such as, over styling or conventional products and dyes. Synthetic chemicals and or lack of moisture in our diet. This can also be caused my minerals in our water. As well as metals.

The hair can be flat and lose luster and shine.

Conventional product usage can cause both of these issues.  Eating the right foods and getting enough water can greatly improve the quality of the hair. Think of your hair care routine much like the time at the gym. You want to treat your hair as well as we treat our bodies. Plenty of rest. Less stress. Plenty of water.

If you take the ends of your hair and they feel fake, like a doll. ‘

This is also a sign of needing a scalp detox. If the hair is coated with false chemicals it can cause the build up to stiffen the hair shaft. If this is the case, please take a look at what you are currently using and toss it in the garbage. This is a sure sign that you need to get rid of these harmful items and perhaps introduce a more natural product line.

If you feel tired, bloated and just all around kind of down.

This could be a sign that you need a scalp detox. Even if your sleep routine is disrupted. Our bodies are connected beings. Everything is tied together. I want your outer appearance to help your inner self esteem and awareness.

If any of this resonates with you. Please try a scalp detox.

I suggest using CityGRL shampoo and conditioner for a least four weeks.  You can use clarifying shampoos, just make sure to use them properly. Or you can connect with your stylist.
