How to scrub scalp?
You have to first wet your hair lightly. There should be moisture especially on the scalp. Now divide the hair into small sections and keep applying the scrub. After this, gently massage the entire head in circular motion with the tips of your fingers. After massaging for about 5 minutes, wash hair with a mild shampoo and then apply conditioner. Keep in mind that do not use nails, otherwise scratches may occur on the skin and it is better to massage with light hands. If you have sensitive skin then do a patch test first.
