Is scalp peeling necessary??

Taking care of your scalp is equally as important as taking care of your hair. Scalp peeling is becoming a common component of a healthy hair regimen, even though many people still concentrate on shampoos, conditioners, and treatments. But is it really required?

Exfoliating, or peeling, the scalp aids in removing product buildup, extra oil, and dead skin cells. This can enhance the general health of your scalp and provide a cleaner environment for hair growth. Some people question whether it’s worth incorporating into their routine or if it could irritate them, though.

The advantages of scalp peeling, who can benefit from it, and when it might be best to forego it are all covered in this article. Whether you’re interested in learning more about this trend or seeking solutions to enhance the health of your hair, you’ll find useful information here.

Types of products for deep cleansing of the scalp

In actuality, these products are now available in a wide variety of textures. You have options for every color and taste. I’ll list a few options below.

Peeling your scalp can be a helpful step in maintaining healthy hair because it helps get rid of product build-up, excess oil, and dead skin cells that can clog hair follicles. This procedure can revitalize your scalp and encourage healthier hair growth. But not everyone needs it, particularly if they already have sensitive skin or a healthy scalp. Before determining whether peeling is right for you, it’s critical to comprehend your unique scalp needs.

My initial data

Bisou renewal scalp peeling

Out of all the peelings I have tried so far, this one is the best (list with links below).

Though relatively unknown to hair addicts, the brand is well-liked on marketplaces (many reviews exist there). I purchased it at my own risk, having done some research on "who’s who." alludes to Russian-made professional cosmetics.

100 ml in volume, 300–350 rubles in price.

The bottle’s color, composition, and packaging shape—which included a spout—all really appealed to me. I was also convinced to try the inexpensive option, which costs about 300 rubles for 100 milliliters. This is the bottle in turquoise!

What won me over so much

1. Ease of use
2. Rich composition
3. Efficiency

The product itself is packaged in a box with a soft turquoise color that keeps the bottle from wrinkling and is sealed on both sides. I appreciate this level of consideration and customer service. For instance, Ice from Natura Sibirika lacks these qualities; when it was delivered to me, it was already dented, and it stayed that way for the duration of use.

A handy spout on the peeling makes it easy to dose the product. Twists to open and close. Additionally, it was sealed at first, so you can be positive that nobody else has opened the product before you. This adds even more money to the manufacturer’s coffers.

This example has a fairly thick, creamy, slightly uneven texture that is easy to distribute, along with a subtle lemon scent. The hair does not retain the odor.

Various acids, fruit extracts, fatty alcohol, glycerin, and menthol (which eliminate the drying effect of acids) are included in the composition, along with squalene (which balances and lessens the reactivity of sensitive skin).

Because I love the extra "cooling" effect and scalp stimulation (which promotes hair growth and strengthening), I always look for menthol in peelings.

I mix work and play.

There isn’t much menthol in this product, and the cooling effect takes five minutes to become noticeable. We can say that even people who dislike warming or cooling compositions will find the coolness to be mild and pleasant.

How to use

The product’s manufacturer recommends applying it along the partings on damp scalp, holding it there for two to three minutes (it’s unclear if the roots should be cleaned recently or not). Once every 25 to 30 days, use.

I approach it somewhat differently:

• wet dirty hair with water completely as before washing
• apply with a spout to wide partings (2-3 cm), lightly massage with fingers to distribute
• hold for about 10 minutes
• rinse with warm water, then with shampoo and apply the usual rinse-off care.

Use peels (any kind) as needed; oily skin may require them weekly, while dry skin may only require them every 1.5 to 2 months. No more often than once a week, in my opinion. Every one to two weeks, I used.

Result

This is what transpires: "springy" root volume and shiny, loose hair.

The difference is apparent visually, and applying peeling has a more profound tactile impact. You feel lighter and more refreshed, and your scalp is clean and no longer itches or scratches. 129718;

Particularly important when it’s really hot outside and you want to wash your hair almost daily. There is a genuine sense of relief.

The product itself has a very mild effect, making it appropriate for new users as well as those who are wary of acidic products.

Peels should not be applied to extremely irritated skin, or for approximately a week following hair coloring.

The bottle’s capacity is ideal—it’sneithertoo large nor too small. I can use up to seven times my 100 milliliters.

Ice Professional by Natura Siberica Hair Growth Scalp Peeling

I also enjoyed the peeling effect, but there are a lot of drawbacks, so I won’t be purchasing it again (this bottle has long since run out).

200 ml in volume, 400–500 rubles in price.

Although the manufacturer is also from Russia, the brand is well-known and reputable. I recall that for a very long time, I adored their sea buckthorn hair series.

Why I won"t buy it again

• very, very strong and bright aroma – it aromatizes any room where it is stored. For me it"s too much. The aroma is almost exactly like the Barex banana series (bright floral-tropical with a note of grapes). It stays on your hair and in the closet. too much
• The packaging is made of very soft plastic, it gets very wrinkled during transportation (I do all my shopping online) and during use
• There is no additional box, no protection against opening either
• disc-top dispenser + liquid texture, like shampoo, together they dispense huge portions of the product – this is both inconvenient and greatly increases consumption.

There are also advantages

Just to refresh your memory, I still enjoyed peeling and was glad to use the 200 ml bottle rather than throw it away. 🗑️

I’ll return to the packaging first. Although the bottle is made of thin plastic, it feels nice to the touch, is not slippery in the hands, and has an intriguing, strict gray color scheme. Additional inscriptions and a lovely font draw attention as well. 129293;

Composition full of different "goodies".

Of course, acids are our main area of interest. Salicylic, lactic, glycolic, and citric are the four types.

My favorite conditioning additives and menthol are those. While this peeling is not as gentle as the last one, it still doesn’t weigh down the roots, leave hair friable, or make it stiff. Additionally, hair that has been extremely shiny.

Method of application

This is something I think is crucial when using these kinds of products because the outcome can vary significantly depending on the holding time, application frequency, and application technique.

In this case, the manufacturer already suggests peeling once a week for the first month before switching to monthly application. It is also applied to unclean scalps; it is not stated if the hair is wet or dry.

How I carried it out:

• applied to dry hair on wide partings (the product is not very convenient to apply, so sometimes it flowed and had to be "caught" dripping drops). That is, I often applied more than was required.
• distributed with light massage movements. Here you can immediately feel the menthol, so I don’t keep it on for long. About 5-10 minutes.
• washed off with plenty of warm water and shampoo. Then – usual care.

I found that this product was quite helpful when my scalp was extremely sensitive due to stress and coloring. For roughly six weeks, I used it as needed, almost every week, before cutting back.

Instantly (!) calms tense and itchy scalp. It gave me a sense of relief and zen, so overall, I had very good impressions. And there most certainly would be a repeat if it weren’t for the packaging and scent.

What else have I managed to try from this segment

As soon as I arrived, I became interested in further skin cleansing. We apply scrubs and peels to our faces, after all. Why should one be deprived of the scalp?

I never felt completely satisfied with the outcome when gathering data in general. Since I lack a microscope and make no plans, I was only able to assess the effect based on how it made me feel—for example, more substantial roots, longer-lasting purity of the roots, lack of itching, etc.

• The first scrub – homemade from salt and essential oils – still use this recipe sometimes, is great for those who want to try and not spend additional funds
• Loton-peeling and mask-peeling gold silk (I bought a mask about four times, I liked it very much: budgetary and efficiently)
• Kerastase Fusio Scrub – the most ambiguous and expensive representative from the tested, barely finished off a single jar
• Another mention of Ice Natura Siberica
• "do it yourself " From a pharmacy, mainly clay masks – when there is a mood "conjure".)))

Benefits of Scalp Peeling	Potential Drawbacks
Removes dead skin cells and buildup, promoting healthier hair growth.	Can cause irritation or dryness if used too frequently or on sensitive skin.
Helps with dandruff control by keeping the scalp clean.	Not suitable for everyone, especially those with skin conditions like eczema.
Improves blood circulation to the scalp, which may boost hair strength.	Improper use of peeling products might damage the scalp or hair follicles.

Adding scalp peeling to your hair care regimen can be beneficial, particularly if you struggle with problems like product buildup, excessive oil production, or dandruff. Frequent exfoliation helps support better hair growth and overall health of the scalp by keeping it cleaner and healthier.

But it’s crucial to keep in mind that not everyone requires scalp exfoliation. It may irritate people with sensitive skin or dry scalps, so it’s important to select the proper products and frequency for your hair type.

In the end, scalp peeling is an individual decision. It could be worth a shot if you’re having problems with your scalp or want to make your hair healthier. Just pay attention to what your scalp needs, and make any necessary adjustments.
