The amazing girl who does my hair knows everything — she’s basically a hair whisperer. So, when she casually mentioned that I might want to scrub my scalp once or twice a month, I was intrigued. Apparently, I had product buildup (who knew?) and that could be why my roots felt weighed down sometimes. Enter Briogeo Scalp Revival Charcoal Micro-Exfoliating Shampoo Scrub, the product she swore by to fix it. Naturally, I had to try it.
Briogeo Scalp Revival Charcoal Micro-Exfoliating Shampoo Scrub, $42
The first thing you should know: this scrub is like a deep clean for your scalp, but it doesn’t feel harsh or stripping. Made with binchotan charcoal to draw out impurities and exfoliants to gently scrub away buildup, it left my scalp feeling fresh and tingly. Bonus points for the soothing blend of tea tree and peppermint oils, which smell divine and make the whole process feel like a mini spa treatment. After using it, my hair felt bouncier and lighter, and my roots looked so much better.
What makes it worth the hype? For starters, it tackles more than just buildup. The micro-exfoliating granules are fine enough to slough away dead skin without irritating your scalp, and the cooling peppermint and tea tree oil combo is great for anyone dealing with itchiness or flakiness. Plus, it’s gentle enough to use every couple of weeks, making it an easy addition to your routine. Just massage a small amount into your wet hair, focusing on your roots and rinse thoroughly — it’s satisfying, I promise.
I’m clearly not the only one whose life has changed since trying this product. One reviewer shares, “I first tried Briogeo Scalp Revival because I had excess Keratin buildup on my scalp. The exfoliation is so gentle yet effective, and the mint and charcoal leave my scalp feeling so refreshed. My hair used to stay oily even after I washed it, but this product changed everything.” Another raves, “This is the most amazing product I’ve put in my hair! My scalp feels renewed, and my hair is shiny, soft and incredibly clean!”
If you’ve never thought about scrubbing your scalp, trust me — it’s a revelation. The Briogeo Scalp Revival Shampoo Scrub is a small investment in the health of your hair. After one use, you’ll wonder why you waited so long to try it.
