One of my favourite hair care discoveries this year has been Ouai, without exception, everything I have tried has been amazing and I didn't think anything could be the Rose Hair and Body Oil (review here) which I absolutely love... until I tried the Ouai Scalp and Body Scrub and literally, this is possibly the best product for my scalp that I have tried.
If you haven't come across Ouai before, it is the brain child of Jen Atkin the lady who is very much responsible for maintaining the manes of Klan Kardashian, Gigi Hadid and Gwen Stefani to name just a few, a range of products has been developed and if it is good enough for them, well it is good enough for me. With shampoos, conditioners which are sulphate-free, they use a smart keratin to repair and improve hair strength. Even the styling products are designed to nourish hair and bring out its natural beauty.
I have combination hair, so I have greasy roots and dry ends, so whenever I am using any shampoo, conditioner, mask or treatment, I have slowly learnt over the years which ingredients irritate my scalp and which ones do not. When I am stressed or feeling run down, it is at this point my scalp acts up and becomes dry and itchy and I need a product to exfoliate my scalp but not exacerbate the problem and in all honesty, there are seldom few products that I have come across to do just that.
Within the Ouai Scalp and Body Scrub, the use of exfoliating sugar crystals works to give your scalp a real deep clean without irritating or scratching and the sugar crystals are also paired with a probiotic blend to help balance out and defend against harmful bacteria. Alongside which we have the fatty acid-rich coconut oil which works to replenish the skin's natural oils as well as to nourish the scalp, all while conditioning and treating hair. The final ingredient is CBD Oil which works to naturally calm inflamed and irritated skin.
As this scrub can be used on both the scalp and the body, you only need a small amount. If I am using it before going in the bath, I apply it to damp skin, massage it on in circular motions and then scrub it off once I am in the water, making it perfect for hard to remove skin. On my hair, I always ensure my hair is damp and then section my hair and apply as directly as I can to my scalp and gently massage in. You can also add a small amount to your shampoo if you feel your scalp needs a little more attention.
As you might expect, this scrub smells just incredible. If you have used any of the Ouai products the scent of bergamot, rose, lychee, cedarwood, and white musk are all present alongside the coconut oil, which isn't overpowering and if Jen could make this scent into a candle, it would be amazing!
