How to Detox Your Scalp Using R+Co: The Clean Routine You Didn’t Know You Needed

Targeted scalp detox using R+Co favourites available at Shelley & Co


If your scalp feels greasy, flat, or irritated—search terms like scalp buildup, scalp scrub benefits, and micellar hair mist are trending for a reason. The secret to vibrant, healthy hair isn’t just in your styling—it’s in the scalp beneath. At Shelley & Co, we’ve curated a powerful, scalp-first routine with R+Co products you can actually shop now.


Step 1: Exfoliate with 

R+Co Crown Scalp Scrub


This powerful scrub is a blend of salicylic acid plus gentle physical exfoliants, perfect for clearing away flakes, product residue, and excess oil.

  • Kaolin clay absorbs impurities

  • Ecuadorian ivory palm seed gently buffs flakes

  • Leaves scalp refreshed, follicles clear, and ready for clean products

How to use: Apply a walnut-sized amount to damp roots weekly, massage for 1–2 minutes, rinse, and follow with shampoo.


Step 2: Deep Cleanse with 

R+Co Crystal Halo Balancing Scalp Scrub + Shampoo
Keyword match: remove buildup from scalp, clarifying shampoo for oily scalp

This hybrid scrub-and-shampoo takes exfoliation further. It lathers into a cleansing foam that purifies the scalp while hydrating strands.

  • Balances oil, removes impurities

  • Vegan & sulfate-free—gentle and effective

  • Works as a weekly deep cleanse to follow the Crown Scrub

How to use: Twice-shampoo cleanse—massage into scalp, wait for scrub grains to dissolve, rinse thoroughly.


Step 3: Refresh Between Washes with 

R+Co Spiritualized Dry Shampoo Mist
Keyword match: micellar hair mist, best dry shampoo for oily scalp

Skip the dust-filled aerosol. Spiritualized harnesses micellar water technology to absorb oil and refresh scalp on day-two (or workout!) mornings—without residue.

  • Breaks down oil, sweat, and build up

  • Leaves hair soft, residue-free

  • Ideal for fine, sensitive scalps

How to use: Spray onto roots, massage in, and let air dry for invigorated hair.

💡 Pro Tips for Lasting Results

  1. Stick to 1–2 scalp detox sessions per week—overdoing it can cause dryness or rebound oiliness.

  2. Rinse conditioner only from mid-lengths to ends—keep scalp clear.

  3. Elastic scalp massages during shampooing can increase blood flow and promote growth.

  4. Switch to a silk pillowcase to cut down on friction and product accumulation.


Your hair deserves a clean, healthy foundation. With this R+Co-focused scalp detox routine from Shelley & Co, you can elevate your haircare from the roots and see real results—less grease, more bounce, and a scalp that feels balanced day after day.
