- Continuous presence of dandruff: highlights an imbalance in the scalp, which can be corrected with proper detoxification.

The dermatologist explains that the condition of the scalp is influenced by several factors that can lead to the accumulation of waste and the need for detoxification.
“I often say that excessive use of hair products, such as mousse and spray, can leave residue in the region. Excessive sebum production, associated with greasiness, can also cause the accumulation of oil and dirt and affect the condition of the scalp,” he says.
The expert points out that factors such as chronic stress and inadequate nutrition, as well as inadequate hygiene, can also unbalance the scalp.
How to detoxify your scalp?
According to the professional, the most common option are deep cleansing shampoos, especially those formulated for complete purification, which remove product residues and impurities that accumulate over time.
“I also recommend scalp exfoliation, which is a very effective technique. You can use hair exfoliants to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores,” recommends the dermatologist.
An alternative are also the famous clay masks. They are known for their ability to absorb excess oil and impurities. The use of essential oils, such as tea tree and rosemary, can also bring benefits thanks to their antimicrobial properties.
How many times?
The scalp detox routine can vary depending on each person’s needs. The dermatologist recommends performing a deep detoxification of the scalp every 1 to 2 months to keep it healthy and clean.
“It is important to underline that this time can be modified depending on the case, so it is always important to consult a doctor to carry out the evaluation,” he concludes.
