These Charcoal-Infused Hair Products Make Your Scalp Feel Amazing
The barbecue, delicious as it is, isn't the only place we've been seeing charcoal lately. The ingredient has long been popping up in many a skin-care product, and we've seen several toothpaste brands harness the power of the ingredient to keep your teeth looking extra white. Another place charcoal has been popping up is hair care, and thanks to its detoxifying properties, charcoal is a boon to hair in need of a good cleanse: "The roots of the hair get greasy because oil gets trapped on the scalp," dermatologist Joshua Zeichner explains to Allure. "Charcoal can effectively remove the oils and dirt that weigh the hair down without damaging the hair shaft itself." Product buildup? Boy, bye. Greasy roots? Not here. Whether you're cleansing, deep conditioning, or just looking to preserve your blowout, brands are adding charcoal to the mix to help give you your best hair ever. Below, check out some of our favorite charcoal-based products, at a wide range of price points.
