As someone who suffers from an itchy scalp (especially in the winter), ever since I discovered that scalp exfoliators are a thing, I have made it my mission to try them all! So, when I saw that my holy grail dry shampoo (@igkhair First Class) came in a gift set with their Low Key Cleansing Walnut Scalp Scrub ($36 for 5 ounces at @sephora), I excitedly picked it up!
What it claims:
🔘 Gently exfoliates and removes buildup
🔘 Clarifies and balances the scalp
🔘 Softens and adds shine
🔘 Formulated without parabens, sulfates, or phthalates
🔘 Features lush, vibrant notes of guava, coconut water, pink lotus, midnight violet and vanilla
🔘 Color safe with UV protection, vegan, cruelty-free and formulated without mineral oil, petroleum and gluten
My experience:
👍🏻 The packaging, like all products from @igkhair, is visually pleasing.
👍🏻 The scent is strong, but pleasant and cooling feeling on your scalp.
👍🏻 The texture felt promising. Much gritter than others I’ve tried, so I assumed it would mean better exfoliation.
👎🏻 Unfortunately, the packaging and scent are where the positives stopped for me. The texture was much too thick to spread evenly onto my scalp.
👎🏻 Attempting to rinse it out was nearly impossible, but once it was, my hair felt stripped and void of moisture.
My verdict?
I will not be purchasing the full size of this product. It’s expensive and doesn’t work – need I say more? As one reviewer on @sephora’s website put it, “For the life of me I can not understand how this product has any good reviews at all!”
If you use one, what is your favorite scalp scrub?
