It's important to take time for yourself and prioritise self-care, whether that be a home workout, a relaxing bath, or whatever helps you to feel good. Ensuring you are drinking enough water, getting enough sleep, and regularly taking time away from your phone are extremely important habits to incorporate into your daily routine.


Good hair and self-care go hand in hand. Just like the importance of a healthy mindset, a healthy, stress-free scalp is the foundation for beautiful hair. Upgrade your self-care routine today by making scalp care a key focus!

Why it is important to exfoliate your scalp

While most people remember to exfoliate their face and body, there’s a good chance you’re overlooking another very important area: your scalp!


It’s time to get to the root of the problem. On a daily basis, your hair and scalp are exposed to a lot of irritating products and environmental stresses which can lead to a dry, itchy scalp and damaged hair. Whether you’re spraying, styling, or drying it, your hair can go through a lot, and a little special care and attention can work wonders for it.


Adding a scalp scrub into your hair care regime can deeply cleanse away impurities to reduce excess oil, flakiness, and product build-up, helping prevent your hair follicles from clogging. A clean, exfoliated scalp plays a vital role in achieving the appearance of super-soft and healthy hair as well as the perfect environment to support hair growth.

Scalp scrub benefits

  1. Removes product-build up: Over time, styling products, oils, and residue can accumulate on the scalp, clogging pores. A scalp scrub deeply cleanses, clearing away build-up to allow your hair to breathe and look fresh.
  2. Stimulates hair follicles: The gentle exfoliation from a scalp scrub promotes blood circulation, delivering essential nutrients to hair follicles, which can lead to healthier, stronger hair.
  3. Encourages hair growth: By unclogging hair follicles and boosting circulation, scalp scrubs create an ideal environment for hair growth, helping you achieve fuller, longer hair over time.
  4. Reduces dandruff & flakiness: Regular exfoliation helps slough away dead skin cells and excess oil, reducing dandruff and leaving your scalp feeling soothed and refreshed.
  5. Spa-like sensory experience: A scalp scrub isn’t just functional—it feels luxurious. The soothing massage and refreshing texture elevate your hair care routine into a relaxing, spa-like experience.
  6. Reduces environmental toxins: Pollution, dirt, and grime can settle on your scalp, dulling your hair's shine. A scalp scrub detoxifies by removing these environmental toxins, leaving your hair looking vibrant and healthy

Using a scalp scrub

It’s important to remember that you can in fact over-exfoliate your hair which can strip your hair's natural oils and cause irritation to sensitive scalps. For a healthy, balanced, and soothed scalp that feels comfortable and refreshed, we recommend using FFØR’s Purify:Scalp Cleanse 1 - 2 times per week. Apply the scalp scrub to wet hair and gently massage it into your scalp for 3-5 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Follow with your normal shampoo routine.
