Alpha-H Healthy Scalp Exfoliating Treatment
No. 08 in Edit 058

Alpha-H Healthy Scalp Exfoliating Treatment

Scalp Australia Approx. $25

Salicylic acid and gluconolactone in a gel that sits on dry hair for one minute before you shampoo. Alpha-H is the Australian acid house, so an exfoliant is the product it was always going to make for a scalp. Twenty five dollars, and the most direct answer here to the flakes a shampoo cannot shift.
