Okay so today I’ve got a pretty random treatment I’m looking forward to trying the next time I wash my hair. Don’t ask me what made me even think of typing it into Google because I honestly have no idea and still think it’s a weird treatment to exist, but as I always say, when it comes to my hair I’ll try anything at least once. So, the treatment in question? A salt scalp scrub treatment!
If you’re anything like me you’ll shy away from any salt interaction (except for McDonald’s fries because those are genuinely a gift sent from heaven), to the point where you don’t even add extra salt to food when your cooking or eating. For me I’ve always considered salt to be bad for you and have always felt as though it should be kept at arm’s length, especially if you want to live a long and healthy life. So imagine my surprise when I started reading about the benefits of using salt on your scalp.
Salt has many properties that helps to cleanse and treat irritable skin conditions such as dermatitis and acne, and can also be used to alleviate dandruff by preventing fungi and removing dead skin. By rubbing salt on you scalp, you also help to stimulate your blood circulation which also leads to improved growth and stronger strands. While I’ll probably still hold these views for the rest of my life, I may make the exception to applying salt to my outer body as opposed to inside me.
The best way to use salt on your hair is to divide you hair into sections and sprinkle salt on your scalp. Once you scalp is nicely salted, with wet fingers, massage you scalp for ten to fifteen minutes before rinsing your hair with conditioner. Your scalp should feel immediately relived and fresh.
Even though salt water has long been renowned for giving effortless beachy waves, I always assumed salt dried out hair in the similar way it makes us thirsty when we eat too much of it. I think that with that in mind, using salt on your hair has probably got to be one of the strangest treatments I’ve found so far. Anyway, make sure you check back for more treatments to try, and see my thoughts on this treatment.
