Scalp Scrub

Confession: ever since John was born, for some reason, my scalp has been super and inexplicably gunky. I wash and wash, and brush and brush, and even scrape my scalp with my fingernails in the shower to try to get the gunk off, but it doesn't really help. Then, I read about a scalp treatment that worked miracles for my scalp.

Step 1: microwave 1/4 cup conditioner for 20 seconds
Step 2: mix in 1/4 cup Epsom salt and stir well
Step 3: shampoo and rinse as normal
Step 4: massage mixture into scalp and down hair shaft
Step 5: leave to soak in while you finish your shower routine
Step 6: rinse well


I was amazed to see how clean my scalp was and my hair was soft and voluminous. I wouldn't recommend doing this very often because the Epsom salt can dry out your hair, but if your scalp is feeling oily and flakey and your hair is looking limp and lifeless, I would definitely recommend this treatment.
