Sometimes Shampoo isn't Enough.
Flakes on your shoulders. An itch that returns by the afternoon. Roots that look greasy a day after washing. More often than not, it is not your hair, but your scalp asking for a proper clear-out, and a foaming shampoo alone cannot provide it. Lather cleans the lengths, but dead skin, excess oil and product build-up can linger right where the trouble begins.
This is The Reset.
A non-foaming pre-shampoo salt scrub that gives your scalp the same attention you give your skin. Finely milled Himalayan Pink Salt lifts away flakes and build-up, suspended in nourishing organic Coconut and Castor oils so it clarifies without stripping. Naturally acidic Hibiscus helps cut through excess oil at the roots, while Peppermint leaves behind a fresh, cooling tingle.
The part people tend to fall in love with is the scent, bright hibiscus and fresh peppermint, somewhere between a garden and a spa. Spending two minutes massaging it in quickly becomes the best part of wash day.
Because it is waterless and concentrated, a little goes a long way. Use it once or twice a week before shampooing for a scalp that feels clean, calm and comfortable, and roots that stay fresher for longer.

Flakes, Swept Away
The dry flakes and dead skin clinging to your scalp loosen as you massage, then rinse clean away. Over time, no more brushing them off your shoulders before you've even left the house.
Calm, Comfy Scalp
Non-foaming and oil-based, so there are no harsh detergents leaving your scalp tight and dry. Organic coconut and castor oils condition while the salt clarifies, so your scalp feels clean and comfortable, never stripped.
Fresher Roots, for Longer
Clearing oil and product at the root leaves your hair properly clean, and keeps it feeling fresh longer, so you can stretch an extra day or two between washes.
Time You'll Look Forward To
Waterless, concentrated and gorgeously scented, with a cool peppermint tingle. Once or twice a week, it turns wash day into a little ritual rather than a chore.
Inside The Ritual
Full Ingredients
Himalayan Pink Salt
The scrubby bit. Finely milled salt gently buffs the scalp, loosening and lifting product build-up and flakes as you massage, and stimulating the skin as you go.
Coconut + Castor Oil
The conditioning base. Rich in nourishing fatty acids and treasured for generations as scalp and hair conditioners, these oils let the scrub clarify without leaving your scalp tight or stripped.
Hibiscus + Peppermint
A hair-match made in heaven. Hibiscus is naturally a little acidic, which helps cut through grease and oil at the roots. Peppermint, long loved in scalp-care rituals, brings a fresh, cooling tingle and that gorgeous herbal scent.

I do really like this scalp scrub. It smells really delicious and has definitely helped with my dry itchy scalp. However I have dropped one star because it is not easy to use. My solution is to warm some in a small pot, by standing the pot in a bowl of hot water. This makes it much easier to emulsify and apply to the scalp without it all falling into the tub. Hope this tip helps others.
AOAwake Organics17 seconds agoHi Sue,
Thank you for trying our Clarifying Scalp Scrub and for your thoughtful review! We're so pleased you're loving that delicious hibiscus and peppermint scent and that it's helping with your dry, itchy scalp. Those natural ingredients really work beautifully together to soothe and clarify.
You're spot on that our natural balm texture can be a bit firm, especially in cooler weather, because we don't use any water, synthetic emulsifiers or stabilisers. We recommend warming in your hands. It takes a little energy if it's feeling cold and firm, but the heat from hands is enough to soften it. This step is very important, as you've noticed. When the balm is warmed and emulsified with a little water it is lovely and easy to use.
Your clever solution of warming it in a small pot with hot water is such a practical way to make it easier to work with and apply evenly to the scalp without waste. We really appreciate you sharing that tip - it's going to be so helpful for other customers!
Have a beautiful day,
Team Awake - MMMrs M. M. T. W.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoFlake-free scalp!

I was surprised how clean my scalp felt after using this product. The mint makes it feel tingly too which is nice.
FAQS
Think of it as exfoliation for your scalp. Just like the skin on your face, your scalp collects dead skin cells, excess oil and product residue, and a foaming shampoo doesn't clear that away. A scrub gently buffs it off, so your scalp feels clean and comfortable, your roots feel fresher for longer, and the rest of your haircare can work properly. It's the step most routines are missing.
