Here’s why you should add sugar to your shampoo

When it comes to handy tips and tricks, we will try anything once.

However, even we'll admit that this is an unusual one. A doctor has recommended adding an ingredient found in your kitchen to expand on your hair washing experience. When your roots are especially greasy and you want to give your head a good scrub, scalp scrubs can cost an arm and a leg but Dr Francesca Fusco has come to the rescue. A dermatologist at Wexler Dermatology, Francesca spoke of the importance of exfoliating your scalp every now and again, which can be easily done by lathering your shampoo with sugar.

"Adding a tablespoon of sugar to a dollop of shampoo will gently exfoliate the scalp and easily dissolve and rinse out without leaving any residue on hair."

The use of sugar will get rid of all those icky dead skin cells, dandruff and general grease - as well as excess shampoo.
