How to Clean Your Scalp Fast

If you all read my hair routine post, you'll know that I only wash my hair once a week. This is because I have pretty dry hair, and it gets very damaged and frizzy if I wash it more often. On top of that, I also pile a ton of coconut oil on my hair in an attempt to ease some of frizz. So, as you can probably imagine, by the time I'm ready to wash my hair, it's pretty disgusting.

Cleaning my scalp has been a problem for me since sixth grade. I used to scratch at by scalp to try to get all the sebum (build up) off, resulting in one or two hour showers. Not only was using my nails bad for my scalp, but the excessively long showers dried my hair out.

Recently, I've been able to get rid of all the sebum within TWO washes. That means I'm getting rid of a weeks worth of build up and a ton of oil within minutes. Prior to developing this method of washing, it would take 3-4 washes, and white stuff (sebum) would still appear under my nails when I scratched at my scalp.

So, let's just get write into it.

1. Washing method:

I stumbled upon this video, which I do not own, on youtube. This is the key...scrub each section described in the video 5 times, back and forth.

Trust me, this makes a major difference. You will be able to get a clean scalp within two washes without using your nails.

2. Shampoo

If you have dandruff: use Jason's Tea Tree Treatment Shampoo for the first wash and Jason's Restorative Biotin Shampoo for the second wash
If you don't have dandruff: use Organix Coconut Milk Shampoo for the first wash and Jason's Restorative Biotin Shampoo for the second wash

The Tea Tree Treatment and Coconut Milk Shampoo are more cleansing than the Restorative Biotin shampoo, which is why they are used first. The Restorative Biotin shampoo is a bit more gentle, but still manages to remove any remaining build up.

3. Conditioner

Use Organix Coconut Milk Conditioner...this stuff is magical! It's amazing for eliminating frizz, and if you scrub your scalp with the same method again, it will further cleanse your scalp without drying it out.

4. Take a Bath

This is going to sound weird, but wash your hair in a bath. This really helps loosen the hair and gives you access to your scalp.

After you do your first wash, rinse it out in the bath. This is your scalp cleansing wash.

After you do your second wash, rinse it out with the shower head. This is your hair cleansing wash, so you don't want to be washing it in already dirty water.

Hope these tips helped! You should be able to go longer between washes, have less frizz, and healthier hair if you follow these.
