Benefits of Sugar Scrub for Hair

Sugar scrub is beneficial for your hair as a moisturizer. If you out there dream of having shiny, silky and healthy-looking hair, moisturizing with sugar scrub will give you exactly that and more.

That is because this sweet and powerful ingredient is rich in B complex vitamins (like B1 and B2), vitamin C, magnesium, calcium, zinc, iron and phosphorus, nutrients that are essential to our hair’s health and can strongly fight dryness, improve frizz and even act as a capillary scrub, getting rid of residues and giving your locks more shine, smoothness and a tidy look.

Besides, sugar also has an acid called PCA (pyrrolidone carboxylic acid) which is highly emollient. That means that as well as moisturizing hair and improving both frizz and split ends, the ingredient is also able to control the hair’s pH, sealing (closing) the hair cuticles, making them look neater.
