Ranking of the best scalp peels for 2022

Scalp peeling is a fairly new and unusual procedure for most people. But, as experts say, healthy and beautiful curls can only be with proper and complete care of the scalp, which must necessarily include the use of this procedure.

What is peeling and its types

It is worth emphasizing that almost everyone needs to use peeling. Its regular use is mandatory in the following cases:

• oily scalp;
• frequent use of dry or sulfate-free shampoos;
• constant use of styling;
• the use of oily masks for the roots.

In addition, exfoliating the scalp is useful not only to combat excess oil, dandruff and other impurities, but also to improve hair growth. This action is due to the improvement of the blood circulation of the epidermis during the procedure, the awakening of dormant hair follicles. However, you need to pay attention to the fact that after the first use, peeling can provoke more severe hair loss. But don't panic, this is normal. In this case, only those hairs fall out that would soon fall out anyway, because. holding on to sebaceous plugs.

Briefly about the types of peels. Conventionally, they are divided into physical (mechanical) and chemical (acidic and enzymatic). Mechanical are products with abrasive particles, i.e. scrubs. They are more suitable for skin with excess sebum, as well as in the presence of dandruff. Acid ones act more gently, without injuring the epidermis. The exfoliating function in them is performed by acids: fruit, lactic, glycolic, salicylic. Enzymatic ones are the most gentle and can be suitable even for sensitive skin.
