I put a lot of effort into my haircare routine. I cleanse my 4b/4c hair at least once a week with a hydrating shampoo, following up with a conditioner that not only nourishes my curls, but also allows my color-treated hair to maintain its vibrancy. I detangle regularly, I get trims every four months, I’ve broken the habit of cutting out my single-strand knots, and even with all of this, I’ve still found myself struggling with length retention. Some trial and error has shown me that this is likely because there’s an important hair maintenance category I’ve been neglecting: scalp care.
I’ve spoken at length about dealing with occasional flaking and post-protective style scalp buildup, which is why I’m always on the hunt for a scalp treatment or scrub that’ll keep my scalp healthy and clean. Recently, in between some of my favorite scalp rinses and sprays, I’ve added the new RŌZ Salt Scalp Scrub to my weekly regimen. Read ahead to find out why.
