We&#8217;ve seen people rave about the hair care tool on social media, namely for the tool&#8217;s ability to stimulate hair growth and thicken strands.<\/p>\n<p>But as simple as the hair care tool sounds, in theory, it&#8217;s not exactly self-explanatory. If you&#8217;re wondering how to use a scalp massager to deep clean your hair, you&#8217;re in the right place!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What are the benefits?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Diana Pratasiewicz, Director of Education at <a href=\"https:\/\/theouai.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OUAI<\/a>, shares that when paired with a clarifying shampoo, like the\u00a0OUAI Detox Shampoo, scalp massagers can significantly benefit your hair&#8217;s health. She says that the Detox Shampoo &#8220;helps remove build-up while the massager sloughs it away.&#8221; The result? A deeply cleansing treatment can help eliminate dead skin cells and other grime that potentially clogs your hair follicle and prevents it from growing to its fullest, thickest potential.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead, Pratasiewicz walks us through the steps of using the Detox Shampoo with the Scalp Massager. Keep in mind that all hair types can benefit from a good in-shower scalp massage!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" itemprop=\"image\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-169017\" src=\"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1U5O28S8.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/21173814\/1U5O28S8.jpeg 3024w, https:\/\/static.fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/21173814\/1U5O28S8-167x222.jpeg 167w, https:\/\/static.fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/21173814\/1U5O28S8-173x230.jpeg 173w, https:\/\/static.fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/21173814\/1U5O28S8-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/static.fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/21173814\/1U5O28S8-458x610.jpeg 458w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>How do you use it?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>While in the shower, wet your hair from roots to ends. When your hair is completely saturated, squeeze hair to remove excess water before squeezing a quarter-size dollop of the Detox Shampoo\u00a0onto your hands or the Scalp Massager. No matter which method you choose, the next step is to work the shampoo into, as\u00a0Pratasiewicz puts it, &#8220;[all] areas where the hair touches the scalp.&#8221; That includes your roots and behind your ears, as well as the back of your head and neck.<\/p>\n<p>Now comes the part in which using the Scalp Massager is essential. Using the tool, massage the shampoo into your scalp and strands, focusing on the top of your head. &#8220;The Scalp Massager will help rinse the Detox Shampoo out of the hair while detangling and prepping hair for a conditioner or hair mask,&#8221; explains Pratasiewicz.<\/p>\n<p>Next, let the product sit for one to three minutes before washing it out thoroughly. Then, set aside your shampoo and work a quarter-size amount of your favorite conditioner or mask into your mid-lengths and ends. Finish by washing it out.<\/p>\n<p>xx, The FabFitFun Team<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Psst! Have you signed up for FabFitFun yet?
