High End: R+Co Crown Scalp Scrub
If you’re feeling the effects of the weather or your daily usage of products, detoxing with a scrub might do the trick. Rub a dab of this in your hair and wash out when the exfoliant has dissolved. This scrub has kaolin in it, a naturally occurring clay that’ll help absorb oil without taking away moisture, so you’re left with full, voluminous hair without the flakes.
