The Shea Moisture African Black Soap Pre-Shampoo Scalp Scrub was designed to relieve flaky and dry hair through its nature-inspired formulation. Launched by the granddaughters of Sofi Tucker, a widowed mother of four who sold Shea Nuts at the village market in Bonthe, Sierra Leone in 1912, the line helps "empower disadvantaged women to secure a brighter, healthier future."
The deep cleansing hair treatment boasts unique scrubbing nubs and charcoal particles to remove impurities from the scalp such as excess oil and build-up. Made with African Black Soap, Bamboo Charcoal, Tea Tree Oil, and Willow Bark Extract blend, the gentle scrub helps relieve itching with a cooling experience and leaves behind healthy hair and a refreshed scalp.
To use the Shea Moisture African Black Soap Pre-Shampoo Scalp Scrub, hair and squeeze the gel directly onto the wet scalp before shampooing and massage the scrubs into the scalp. Rinse after five minutes.
