This five-minute hair care treatment is meant to be used on a [dry scalp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scalp-detox-jelly-cleanser) so that its gel formula can oxygenate and turn into a foam. Once massaged into the scalp, the product is beneficial for clearing away dead skin cells, product buildup and excess oil. The foaming Detox Scalp Mask is hydrating and leaves hair looking fuller thanks to the inclusion of ingredients like shea butter and other skincare-inspired ingredients like salicylic, glycolic and lactic acids, plus a mix of natural oils that are moisturizing, stimulating and conditioning. After a few minutes, the product can be rinsed off or used as a [pre-shampoo treatment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rich-reset-preshampoo-mask).
