A gentle exfoliating jelly that lifts away buildup on the scalp
Hei Poa Tahiti Detox Exfoliating jelly is a gentle exfoliating scalp jelly for scalps that feel congested and need a gentle once-over before shampooing. Hei Poa is a French Polynesian brand built around monoi de Tahiti, virgin coconut oil traditionally macerated with fresh tiare flowers. Part of the Tahiti Detox line, this jelly is designed to be massaged into the scalp before shampooing, to help lift away product buildup and dead skin without irritating the scalp.
How it works
A soft jelly texture that turns slightly grainy as it's massaged in, then rinses away cleanly with the following shampoo.
Who it suits
- Scalps that feel congested or itchy before washing
- Anyone who uses a lot of styling product
- Pairing with the Tahiti Detox shampoo and conditioner
- A weekly pre-shampoo scalp reset
Worth knowing before you buy: Use this on the scalp before shampooing, not as a leave-on treatment, and avoid scratching or scrubbing too hard on a sensitive scalp.
