Ya know a hair product is an efficient one when even your husband feedback on it! I’m on the street to changing into a ROZ hair product tremendous fan as a result of I’ve liked the whole lot I’ve tried by this model. I initially fell in love with their root elevate spray (it’s extremely useful when sprayed on my lifeless hair proper earlier than blow drying) and shampoo + conditioner (I acquired that duo in a PR mailer and actually felt prefer it made my hair really feel stronger and more healthy) so I had excessive expectations for his or her salt scalp scrub.
I don’t suppose I’ve ever had a product depart my hair feeling cleaner, lighter and softer. Once I say this scrub makes my hair and scalp really feel clear I imply deeply clear. Prefer to the CORE. It’s improbable for eradicating build-up and if you happen to’re somebody like me who can often get a little bit little bit of a flaky scalp, it exfoliates your scalp and washes these pesky flakes and product build-up away. Ryan used it once we have been out of shampoo within the bathe someday and bought out saying, “I don’t know what that stuff is however I prefer it” and talked about how actually clear his hair felt. It’s a real luxurious hair product and one I’ve been loving a lot! I take advantage of it about 2x a month so it lasts me a very long time!

I had a unique scalp brush I beforehand used however dropped it within the bathe and it cracked (it was low cost plastic) and some months in the past, I changed it with the Jupiter scalp brush. I adore it for a myriad of causes however primarily to assist exfoliate the scalp, stimulate hair follicles to assist encourage hair development and distribute hair oils once I apply it to dry hair. (I even have a scalp brush in my bathe and on my self-importance now.) Ryan additionally makes use of the one I hold within the bathe and particularly loves it on his thick hair for a deeper clear. (I’ll ceaselessly be jealous of his thick, wavy locks.)
