What Sephora says

What this product is supposed to do

An intensely cleansing sea-salt scalp scrub that refreshes the scalp and leaves hair feeling light, refreshed, and revitalized.

Apply to wet hair.

Gently massage on the scalp to build a rich lather, adding water if necessary.

Rinse and follow with a nourishing conditioner or mask.

Use every second or third wash, alternating it with shampoo.

What Glass adds

What actually matters before you buy it

This is a targeted scalp treatment for deep cleansing. It's best used periodically to address buildup or oiliness, rather than as a daily cleanser. Its effectiveness relies on the physical exfoliation of sea salt.

Best for

When this is a smart buy

  • Oily scalps
  • Scalp buildup
  • Adding texture and shine to hair

Skip if

When this is the wrong lane

  • You have a very dry or sensitive scalp
  • You prefer a gentle, non-physical exfoliation
  • You wash your hair daily and don't experience significant buildup

Routine fit

How to use this scalp scrub

Apply to wet hair and gently massage onto the scalp to create a lather. Rinse thoroughly and follow with a conditioner or mask. It's recommended to use this scrub every second or third wash, alternating with your regular shampoo.

Why it works

Where it earns the slot and where it does not

The useful question is not whether this product is good in a vacuum. It is whether it makes your routine easier to run or just adds one more bottle with a familiar ingredient on it.

What it actually does well

  • Effective at removing buildup and oil
  • Leaves hair feeling light and refreshed
  • Adds texture and shine
  • Contains hydrating buckwheat extract

Where it starts to feel redundant

  • Can be too harsh for sensitive or dry scalps
  • Physical exfoliation may not be suitable for everyone
  • Requires alternating with a regular shampoo

Routine fit

Where it belongs in the stack

Frequency

Use once or twice a week, depending on your scalp's needs. Overuse could lead to dryness or irritation.
