Key features & specs

The ACURE Scalp Relief Scrub utilizes a blend of mineral-rich ingredients to purify the hair follicle.

How it compares

Compared to high-end salon scalp treatments, the ACURE Scalp Relief Scrub offers a similar level of purification at a fraction of the cost. While many luxury scrubs use beeswax or honey as binding agents, this formula relies on plant-based aloe and glycerin to provide slip. In contrast to salt-based scrubs which can be drying for color-treated hair, the volcanic ash in this ACURE product provides a more uniform exfoliation that rinses away easily without leaving gritty residue behind.

How to use it

1. Thoroughly wet your hair and scalp in the shower.
2. Apply a walnut-sized amount of the scrub directly to your scalp area.
3. Massage in gentle circular motions using your fingertips, focusing on the crown and nape of the neck.
4. Let the treatment sit for 1-2 minutes to allow the charcoal and vinegar to break down oils.
5. Rinse thoroughly with warm water, ensuring all particles are washed away.
6. Follow with your favorite ACURE conditioner, focusing only on the mid-lengths and ends.
