Before you pick up your next green juice, consider other avenues for detox, including your hair. Yes, just like any other part of your body, your hair could also use a little detox. 

Hair detoxing is important because it helps get rid of dirt, oil, and other kinds of buildup. Detox shampoo is a "step-up" from a typical shampoo, basically giving you a super cleanse. According to Nexxus.com, a detox shampoo helps with impurities and removes dead skin cells and flakes. It can also help reduce hair loss, address an itchy scalp, and balance oils in your hair. This allows your strands to better absorb the benefits of haircare products. 

To detox your hair, check out some options below:
