Charcoal! The birds sing melodiously, the crowds cheer. We’ve all heard of the raving benefits of charcoal for skin, teeth, and even diet periodically - but what about hair? The answer is yes - charcoal does wonders for your hair. One of the simplest ways to support a healthy scalp is by using a scalp shampoo designed to remove buildup while maintaining scalp balance.
Think about all the styling products, sweat, environmental pollution, and sebum accumulated in your hair over the years. This can contribute to clogged follicles; limp, greasy roots, poor hair growth, and scalp irritiation. Charcoal acts as a detoxifying magnet to suck out these impurities - a deep clean of the scalp, which is the most important factor in the growth and lustre of your hair. Your hair is left freed of the weight of the impurities, hair density is increased, leaving it more voluminous and with a lighter feeling of the scalp. Many experts now recommend treating your scalp like skin, focusing on balance, cleansing, and hydration.
How is charcoal different from traditional clarifying shampoos? The latter can be harsh and stripping of your hair, and affect dyed hair. On the contrary, charcoal leaves your hair soft, and does not affect dye.
How should you apply the charcoal to your hair? How much do you use? It’s loose powder, how do you use it?! Long-term results often come from building a complete scalp and hair routine that supports both cleansing and nourishment.
