Scalp scrub and shine treatment for hair

Scalp scrub and shine treatment for hair

A gentle scalp scrub clears flakes and product residue. Dark hair also gains a warm sheen from the pigments in coffee.

What you need

  • 2 tbsp coffee grounds
  • 1 tbsp shampoo or conditioner
  • Towel

Step by step

  1. 1

    Mix

    Mix the grounds with a little shampoo or conditioner in your hand.

  2. 2

    Massage in

    Apply to the wet scalp and massage gently in circles for 1–2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Rinse thoroughly

    Rinse with plenty of lukewarm water until no grains remain.

Good to know

  • Use once a week at most.
  • Take care with light or bleached hair – coffee can tint slightly.
  • A drain strainer prevents clogs.
