Scalp Masks Are the New Face Masks
These days, it seems there’s a mask for everything—yes, even your derriere. And while we may not be butt masking every few days (how do you even do that?), we’re completely on board with scalp masks. But why do you even need one, you ask? Styling products (ahem, dry shampoo), grime and sweat can block your hair follicles, preventing hair growth and diminishing the overall health of your locks. And if you think you can just vigorously shampoo your hair to solve the problem, that’s not the case, since over-shampooing strips hair of its natural oils and leaves your head dry and itchy. So? Scalp mask it is. Here are seven to get you started.
