4. Virtue® Exfoliating Scalp Treatment 

The scalp is often the middle child of haircare. Thought of as the tough one that can handle less attention, scalp care doesn’t typically take precedence when it comes to hair treatments, but without a healthy scalp, your hair will suffer. Virtue’s light, duel-action scalp detox will remove build-up and impurities while providing residue-free hair conditioning and scalp balance. This exfoliant repairs hair with each use and is made with rice beads and fruit enzymes.
