Details & care

What it is: A light, dual-action cream that detoxifies follicles of build-up and impurities for healthy, vibrant and youthful-looking hair.

Who it's for: Ideal for all hair types. Safe for color-treated and chemically treated hair.

What it does: Your scalp is a catchall for accumulated dirt, sebum and product debris. Virtue® Exfoliating Scalp Treatment is a light, whipped cream that lifts aged cells and impurities from the hair follicles to balance and condition hair without adding residue. Rice beads and fruit enzymes provide dual-action exfoliation; kalahari melon oil and jojoba oil provide moisture balance and Alpha Keratin 60ku® repairs hair with each use. This deep-conditioning treatment is efficacious yet nonirritating and provides physical and enzymatic exfoliation while nourishing hair with Alpha Keratin 60ku®. Papain and bromelain gently lift aged cells to optimize hair follicles. Rice exfoliator rejuvenates the scalp and gently clears follicles of excess sebum and debris to leave hair silky-smooth upon rinsing with residue-free conditioning. The treatment features a soothing blend of lavender and chamomile, white tea, bergamot, magnolia buds and a light touch of creamy sandalwood.

Key ingredients:

- Papain and bromelain: fruit enzymes that gently lift aged cells from hair follicles

- Beta hydroxy acid (BHA): gently exfoliates aged cells from hair follicles, leaving a smooth and supple surface for healthy hair growth

- Rice exfoliator: gentle rice beads that work with salicylic acid and pineapple-and papaya-derived enzymes to rejuvenate the scalp and gently clear follicles of excess sebum and debris to grow your healthiest hair

- Coconut, jojoba, and kalahari melon oils: provide essential hydration for hair and scalp

How to use: After shampooing and rinsing hair, apply Exfoliating Scalp Treatment to scalp and hair, massaging thoroughly with fingertips for approximately 2–3 minutes. Smooth through to the ends and rinse thoroughly; a double rinse is recommended. This is the last step in your scalp health routine, eliminating the need for washing and conditioning after use. Use once or twice a week in place of conditioner or mask.

Pro tips: For straight or fine hair, use the Scalp Massage Tool (sold separately) with Virtue® Exfoliating Scalp Treatment for added circulation. To use, simply massage the bristles on the scalp in circular motions, pressing firmly but gently (too much pressure can irritate the scalp), covering the full surface area of the scalp.
