What is a scalp scrub
Scalp exfoliation is a process in which the scalp is cleansed and massaged with a gentle exfoliating agent or special brush to remove dead skin cells, excess sebum, styling residue and other impurities. It helps to clear the pores and rid the scalp of impurities to create an optimal environment for hair growth.
A scalp scrub also improves circulation: the gentle massaging motion of a scalp scrub stimulates blood flow to the scalp. Improved blood circulation promotes the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicles, which can stimulate hair growth.
This also improves the effect of hair care products. A cleansed scalp allows the care products to be better absorbed and work more effectively. After scalp exfoliation, shampoos, conditioners and other hair care products can penetrate the scalp better and take effect.
What situations is a scalp scrub suitable for?
A scalp scrub can be effective for the following hair types or problems:
For oily scalp: If you suffer from excess sebum and an oily scalp, a scalp scrub can help to remove these impurities and regulate sebum production. The gentle exfoliating particles or brush can remove excess sebum from the scalp and clear the pores to promote a balanced and healthy scalp.
For dry scalp: Exfoliating your hair can also be beneficial for dry scalps. Dead skin cells can accumulate on the scalp and cause dandruff. Exfoliation helps to remove these dead skin cells and clear the scalp to reduce dandruff and moisturise the scalp.
For dandruff: dandruff can be caused by various factors such as dry scalp, clogged pores or excess sebum. A scalp scrub can help treat these problems by thoroughly cleansing the scalp and removing impurities that can contribute to dandruff.
For illness, itchiness or irritation of the scalp: A cleansed and clarified scalp can reduce itching and irritation. The scalp scrub can help to soothe the scalp and alleviate discomfort. It can also be very effective for various scalp conditions.

Which scalp scrub is suitable?
When the first scalp problems appear, many people start looking for an exfoliating scrub for their scalp. However, they often initially ask themselves how they can make their own scalp scrub or which scalp scrub DM currently has on offer. However, if you already have severe scalp problems, it is worth investing in a high-quality product package instead of a DIY scalp scrub, which can provide relief in a short space of time using medical-based ingredients before the condition worsens or forms of hair loss occur.
The clinically tested scalp therapy package from Neofollics is therefore an optimal choice in precisely this situation. The Neofollics Exfoliating Shampoo can be used by both men and women when scalp problems or even scalp conditions such as dandruff, itching or seborrhoeic eczema occur.
If these scalp problems have already become more severe or if particularly severe itching occurs, Neofollics Scalp Peeling Serum is a useful addition. This can remove excess sebum build-up and dead skin cells so that results can be expected within 4 weeks with regular use. The combination of both products is particularly recommended in severe cases, as after exfoliation the scalp is cleansed and ready to better absorb nutrients from a scalp serum, so that the combination of products can have a particularly good effect.
An exfoliating brush can also be used. The soft, flexible bristles gently massage the scalp and remove impurities. It can also be used to work the exfoliating agent or scalp serum into the scalp and improve circulation. However, it is important to choose a brush that is suitable for use on the scalp and is not too aggressive to further irritate the scalp if problems are already present.
