Does your hair feel heavy, greasy, or lifeless? Just like your skin, your scalp and hair can accumulate buildup from products, pollution, and hard water.

A hair detox treatment is the reset your hair needs to restore shine, softness, and scalp health.

At Haste Urban Hair Spa, we offer both professional and at-home solutions that cleanse while nourishing your strands.

Whether you overuse dry shampoo, live in a hard-water city, or want to reset your routine, a hair detox can transform your hair from dull to dazzling.

What Is a Hair Detox Treatment?

A hair detox is a deep cleansing routine designed to remove:

  • Excess oil
  • Product buildup
  • Environmental toxins
  • Impurities from the scalp and hair shaft

Unlike everyday shampooing, detox treatments often include clarifying agents, exfoliators, and soothing ingredients such as clay, charcoal, or botanical oils.

Signs You Need a Hair Detox

A detox is more than a deep clean; it’s a reset for your scalp and strands.

  • Enhances shine and softness

🌟 Bonus Tip: Pair your detox with a scalp massage to stimulate blood flow and maximize results.

At-Home Hair Detox Treatment: Step-by-Step Guide

You don’t always need a salon visit. Here’s how to detox your hair at home:

  1. Clarifying Shampoo: Remove product buildup 1-2 times per month.
  2. Scalp Exfoliation: Massage your scalp with a scrub or DIY mix of sugar and conditioner.
  3. Deep Mask: Apply clay, charcoal, or botanical masks for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Rinse Well: Use cool water to seal the cuticles.
  5. Hydrate: Follow with a sulfate-free conditioner or nourishing oil.

Frequency:

  • Oily scalp: weekly
  • Normal scalp: every 2–4 weeks
  • Dry scalp: monthly

⚠️ Avoid over-detoxing as it can strip the natural oils and damage your hair.
