Why Your Scalp Needs This

  • Perfect for braids, twists, locs, and protective styles. Great for post-workouts, swimming and day-to day product build-up.
  • Your scalp collects sweat, oil, and product buildup every day.

    When that buildup sits on the scalp, it can lead to itching, flakes, irritation, and dull hair.

    The Teatree & Ginseng Scalp Cleanser was designed to refresh the scalp without stripping moisture or ruining your style.

    Use it:

    • • between wash days

      • after workouts

      • while wearing protective styles

      • anytime your scalp needs a reset

    Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp.
