Trichological scalp scrub, 75 ml - Radical

The Radical Trichological Scalp Exfoliator is a professional-style scrub designed to refresh the scalp before shampooing. It belongs to the trichology category — a branch of cosmetology focused specifically on the health of the scalp and hair follicles. People usually reach for this kind of product when they notice flaking, excess oiliness, build-up from styling products, itchiness, or hair that quickly looks heavy at the roots.

The principle is simple but effective. A scalp exfoliator works in two ways at once: mechanically and chemically. Fine granules physically lift away dead skin cells, dried sebum and residue of silicones or dry shampoos that accumulate around the follicle opening. At the same time, active cosmetic ingredients soften the upper layer of the skin, so the cleansing is thorough but not aggressive. A clean, unclogged follicle allows the new hair shaft to grow out more freely and helps subsequent treatments — serums, ampoules, masks against hair loss — to actually reach the scalp instead of sitting on top of build-up.

This is why trichologists often recommend including a scalp scrub in an anti-hair-loss regimen. It does not stop shedding on its own, but it prepares the ground: a congested scalp is one of the factors that can weaken the follicle environment over time. Used once or twice a week before your usual shampoo, the Radical exfoliator helps the scalp feel lighter, less itchy and visibly cleaner, and gives roots a fresher look for longer between washes.

The 75 ml tube is convenient for home use and lasts a long time, since only a small amount is needed per session. It suits people with oily roots, those who use a lot of styling products, anyone dealing with dandruff-prone skin, and as a preparatory step in a broader hair-strengthening program alongside Radical serums or ampoules from the same line.

A few cautions. Do not use the scrub on irritated, sunburned or broken skin, on active inflammations or just after chemical procedures such as colouring or keratin treatments — wait a couple of days. Massage gently with fingertips, never with nails. If you have a diagnosed scalp condition (psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, severe hair loss), it is wise to check with a dermatologist or trichologist before adding any exfoliating product to your regimen.
