Step 3: Time for a deep shampoo cleanse

If you don’t often use a clarifying shampoo now would be a great time to include it into your hair spa day. Massaging your scalp with clarifying shampoo can help remove the excess gunk that’s built up in your hair, allowing it to breath. Take your time with it, sing a song or two to really work the shampoo into your scalp for about 10 minutes. Remember to use lightly luke warm water so as not to bring too much heat onto the scalp.
