Rosemary, Ginger, and Caffeine -- The Circulation Case

The BOOST Scalp Scrub and Shampoo targets scalp circulation. Rosemary stimulates and invigorates, ginger increases blood flow, and caffeine is a known circulatory stimulant. Together, they create an environment where blood flow to the scalp is optimized, which means more nutrients and oxygen reaching the follicles.

When scalp circulation is improved, hair growth potential improves. This is not a hair growth guarantee, but it is a science-backed approach to supporting the conditions under which hair grows best. Stronger scalp circulation supports stronger hair growth.

The tingling sensation you feel when using this scrub is the circulatory action at work. It is not uncomfortable -- it is evidence that the ingredients are doing what they are designed to do.

Works best for: circulation. Scaling, a sluggish scalp, and anyone who wants fuller-growing roots. Not a buildup remover (that is DETOX) and not a thinning treatment (that is a ProCell consultation).

Which scalp scrub is right for you?

I carry three scrubs because there is no one scalp. You pick by scalp type; you do not rotate them on a schedule.

• DETOX (charcoal, peppermint, tea tree) is for product buildup, an oily or smelly scalp, and dandruff that is really buildup. The charcoal grabs what is sitting on the scalp and lifts it off. This is also the one I reach for after a stretch of dry shampoo.
• SOOTHE (chamomile, aloe, oat) is for a sensitive or irritated scalp: after color, after a perm, after any chemical service, or a scalp that hurts to the touch for no reason (I see that a lot after pregnancy). The oat calms skin and helps a stripped, overreacting scalp settle back down.
• BOOST (rosemary, ginger, caffeine) is for circulation. It brings blood flow to the scalp surface, you feel the tingle, and it is my pick for scaling and for anyone who wants fuller-growing roots. If you are dealing with actual thinning, that is a ProCell conversation, not a scrub.

How often to use a scalp scrub

All three are scrub-and-shampoo products, so you can wash with them as often as you wash. The exfoliating scrub step, worked into the scalp with your fingertips for a full minute, is every 7 to 10 days. Not daily, not twice a week. More than that and you strip the scalp, and a stripped scalp overproduces oil.

BOOST Scalp Scrub -- FAQ

What is the BOOST scalp scrub for?

Circulation. Rosemary, ginger, and caffeine bring blood flow to the scalp surface, which you feel as a tingle. Delena reaches for it for scaling and for anyone who wants fuller-growing roots. It is not a buildup remover; that is DETOX. It is not a regrowth treatment; thinning is a ProCell consultation.

How often should I use the BOOST scalp scrub?

Wash with it as often as you wash, but keep the exfoliating scrub step to every 7 to 10 days. The tingle is the circulation working, not a reason to scrub more often.

Should I use BOOST with DETOX or SOOTHE?

Pick one by scalp type rather than rotating. BOOST if you want circulation and have no buildup or sensitivity issue; DETOX if the scalp is congested or oily; SOOTHE if it is irritated or freshly colored.
