Wait... Do I Need to Exfoliate My Scalp Now?(Short Answer: Yes. Long Answer: Let Me Explain.)

Okay, listen. I’ve ignored many things in life—my dentist’s advice, gym notifications, that one toxic ex—but ignoring my scalp? That one came back to bite me. Literally. Itchy, flaky, product-packed scalp that refused to cooperate no matter how fancy my curly hair care products were.

I used to think my curly hair was just naturally moody. Like, why does it look amazing one wash day and turn into a confused poof-ball the next? Turns out, it wasn’t a curl problem. It was a scalp problem. Yep. The one part of my head I never paid attention to unless I was oiling it out of guilt during Dussehra.

So, What’s This Scrub and Why Is It Suddenly the Love of My Life?

The Manetain Scalp Scrub is what happens when a spa day meets a deep cleanse... but for your roots. And honestly? I didn’t expect to love it this much.

It's packed with:

• Dead Sea Salt – fancy, exfoliating, and way less scary than it sounds

• Tea Tree – aka nature’s no-nonsense auntie who clears everything up

• Lavender & Aloe Vera – calming enough to make you forget your Monday meeting

You use it before shampoo, which felt kinda rebellious. Like, scrub first? Shampoo later? But baby, once you try it, you get it.

That First Wash Was a Slap in the Face (In a Good Way)

I gently rubbed it in with my fingertips, closed my eyes like I was in a Manetain ad, and rinsed. By the time I got to my Moisturising Shampoo and Multipurpose Conditioner, it felt like my scalp was singing. Not joking. My curls felt lighter. Fresher. Like they weren’t dragging around last week’s build-up and life trauma.

Why Should You Care?

Because you can spend your whole salary on conditioner for curly hair, diffusers, curl creams, satin pillowcases, and STILL have limp curls if your scalp isn’t clean. That buildup? It’s blocking your products, your growth, your shine, your whole personality.

This scrub is like that honest friend who tells you to stop texting your ex: a little abrasive, but necessary. And once you use it, your whole hair care routine just hits better.

Bottom line:
If you have curly hair, this isn’t just a “treat yo’self” thing. This is essential. Manetain India got this one so right. Add to cart. Use weekly. And thank your scalp later.
