Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp—something I truly didn't understand until my own scalp issues forced me to.

As someone with low-porosity, type 4B hair who struggles with product buildup and psoriasis flareups, I had to learn how to care for my scalp just as much as my curls.

Weekly wash days weren't enough, and I realized my scalp needed deeper attention to stay soothed, clean, and flake-free. Here are a few gentle exfoliating and detoxifying products that have helped me reset my scalp and keep itchiness under control.

<h3>1. TPH Moisturizing Scalp Mask</h3>

This mask gives instant relief, especially when my scalp feels tight or dry. It hydrates without weighing down my roots and leaves everything feeling refreshed before I even start shampooing.

<h3>2. BREAD Mud-Mask Detox Hair & Scalp Treatment</h3>

This is my go-to for detoxing. The mud-mask texture pulls out buildup and impurities but still feels soft and nourishing. My scalp always feels lighter and cleaner afterward.

<h3>3. TPH Hair & Scalp Scrub</h3>

A gentle scrub that helps buff away flakes and buildup without being harsh. It leaves my scalp smooth and ready to absorb moisture again.

<h3>4. My Black Is Beautiful Scalp Scrub</h3>

This scrub has a softer grit, perfect for days when my scalp needs exfoliation but is feeling extra sensitive. It helps soothe irritation and gives a nice refreshed feel.

Taking care of your scalp isn't a luxury—it's essential, especially if you deal with dryness, flaking, or buildup. Adding a gentle exfoliating step to wash day has made a huge difference for me, and I hope this guide helps you find relief too.
