The next day, my scalp was flake-free. Sure, it’s a result, but my flakes tend to disappear after a double cleanse, anyway. I noticed even better results after practicing the hack once a week for two weeks. Usually, my scalp would be very snowy a couple of days after a hair wash, but I noticed barely any loose, flaky skin in the days that followed. I worried that the acid might dry out my already fragile, dyed lengths. It didn’t, and neither did it strip my brunette color.
