1 Eliminate buildup with a sugar scalp scrub!

Flakes and product buildup are more than just annoying— they can clog follicles and block your scalp’s ability to grow lush, thick hair. Luckily, a weekly scalp scrub gets hair back on track fast! “Brown sugar exfoliates dead skin cells, while baking soda removes residue left from styling products,” explains Janice Cox, author of Natural Beauty at Home. ■ DIY it! Mix 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 Tbs. baking soda and 2 drops peppermint essential oil. In shower, add a teaspoon of scrub into a dollop of shampoo. Massage into scalp for 1-3 minutes using small, circular motions. Rinse well; condition as usual.
