pollution
product buildup
excess oil
A professional hair & scalp detox creates a clean slate allowing you to reap the maximum reward from your hair products. A hair & scalp detox should be a multi-step process in the salon for the best results.
Signs You Need a Davines Hair & Scalp Detox
Wondering if you need a detox? Excellent question. There are most definitely signs that you just might! Here are some of the signs:
You use a lot of styling products — Styling products accumulate on the scalp and create a layer of built-up that needs deep cleansing to restore the balance of your hair.
You live in a polluted area — City air is contaminated with smoke, smog, and particulate matter. Do you live in a home with well water? Well water can contain minerals like calcium, sodium, and magnesium. ... Trace elements and heavy metals, lead, and iron just to name a few. Your scalp absorbs even more than the skin on the rest of your body.
You feel like your scalp is itchy or flaky — An accumulation of too substances (even dead skin cells, an entirely natural and unavoidable phenomenon) can cause the scalp to itch; and worse, giving in to the itch can cause residue to shed in flakes, like dandruff.
Your hair gets dirty very quickly — It's simple: Excess oil makes hair greasy.
You notice the hair is thinning or falling — Buildup can clog hair follicles. Damage to hair follicles can result in fragile hair or skin conditions like folliculitis.
Your hair doesn’t smell fresh — Too much residue can change the pH of your scalp. Therefore, causing your scalp to overproduce sebum, making it a potential breeding ground for bacteria and yeast. All of this can cause an unpleasant odor.
