As someone with androgenic alopecia, I am extremely cautious about the products I put in my hair and have started to form a very precise routine to help protect the hair I have left. In addition to nightly hair growth serum application and scalp massages, I use prescription ketoconazole shampoo weekly to help and a detox scalp scrub monthly. I’ve been using Rizos Curls Detox Scalp Scrub since it launched in 2022 to help remove product buildup, dead skin and excess oil from my hair without harsh chemicals. Not only is the product made with clean, vegan ingredients like aloe vera, pink clay and peppermint, I genuinely see such a difference in the look and feel of my hair the next day.
A little goes a long way, so each jar lasts me about 6 to 8 months, and I love how good the scrub feels on my scalp. What keeps me coming back to this product is that it’s fragrance free, but still smells amazing thanks to the addition of peppermint oil, and that my hair never feels oily or weighted down after use (something that usually happens to my already thin hair whenever I try new products). The scrub also gets major bonus points for being a small, Latina-owned business. Plus, it’s on sale for just under $20 during Ulta’s Fall Haul sale — which ends tonight. Needless to say, it’s a must-buy right now for anyone who uses a lot of product in their hair and wants a monthly reset.
