Under the Heading of - Why Did I Wait So long to Try This [SEP] And also - where has this been all my life? I have long, very thick, wavy, mostly frizzy hair. I hated washing it because it took. So. Long. To wash it, and then rinse it and then condition it and rinse it again. Sigh. Hair washing days means 30 min showers. Anyway, I often got flakes, not dandruff, just flakes that I always chalked up to the tons of products I need to tame my mane. After using this little scrubby I now realize it was because I was never getting my scalp and the hair closest to my scalp completely clean. Lathering up and then using this to massage my scalp, my hair is so much cleaner and TBH behaves a bit better. And I'm now down to washing it only 2x a week because it's now so clean, it takes longer to show build up from all my products. I read some folks don't like this because they say it tangles their hair. Not true. I can speak from experience, they are not getting their hair wet enough. In order to get a good cleaning - with or without this - you must SOAK your head completely and lather completely. This little scrubby will glide through the shampoo. And if you don't want to wash your hair every time you want a little scalp massage, then just soak and put a little conditioner in your hair. This works and it works well.
