Safe Scalp Detox for All Hair Types — Including Color-Treated & Sensitive Scalps
A healthy scalp is the foundation for beautiful, vibrant hair. If you have color-treated or sensitive skin, finding a detox routine that’s both effective and gentle can be a challenge. Discover our curated collection of safe, non-irritating scalp detox solutions powered by apple cider vinegar and soothing botanicals—formulated to cleanse, balance, and nourish your scalp without irritation or color fade.
Why Choose a Gentle Scalp Detox?
“A balanced scalp means less irritation, reduced flakiness, and stronger, shinier hair—no matter your hair type or color.”
Traditional scalp scrubs and harsh clarifiers can strip away natural oils and irritate sensitive skin, especially if your hair is color-treated. Our featured products use innovative, non-abrasive formulas to gently remove buildup, soothe irritation, and support long-term scalp health.
