Home remedies

You can detox your hair by raiding the kitchen! Detoxing your hair with things you have around the house is totally do-able!

Bentonite Clay Mask: 

1. Combine 1/2 c each of bentonite clay powder, apple cider vinegar, and aloe vera gel.
2. Spread generously throughout hair applying to scalp as well.
3. Place a shower cap on and let sit for 20-30 min (don’t let mixture dry out)
4. Rinse your hair with 1 cup of white vinegar and allow to sit for at least 1-3 minutes, then use a clarifying shampoo.

Oil based Remedies for Sensitive Scalps

Check out the masks based on your hair’s needs!

Dull, flat hair? Mineral Oils and Sunflower Oil are great for shine

Damaged, dry hair? Lather your locks with Coconut oil

Thick, processed and/or damaged hair? Grab a bottle of Olive Oil and work it from roots to tips!

Does your Scalp Need some love? Argan Oil improves scalp health and protects against hair damage and heat

Whatever oil you select, the process is the same: massage the oils deeply into your scalp, put a shower cap on and let it soak in. Pro tip:  sit in the sun to allow your hair follicles and pores to open and absorb the oils.

Looking for a hair Detox? Mixing baking soda with your shampoo and letting sit for a 5-10 min is another way to detox your hair. 

Professional Products:

At blush we love the IGK Low Key Cleansing Walnut Scalp Scrub. Low Key is a nutrient-dense, sulfate free cooling scrub designed to eliminate impurities. It soothes and purifies your scalp after you have over indulged in heat styling and coloring. Your hair will also look shinier, softer and healthier. Apple cider vinegar clarifies the scalp, while walnut oil helps hydrate and nourish the scalp and hair. It also has a lather that helps massage the sugar granules on the scalp to exfoliate. It also includes peppermint oil to rebalance the ph of the scalp. Grab a bottle or add the treatment to your next service!
