SURFACE Awaken Scalp Detox — 6 fl oz charcoal exfoliant for thinning hair, clears buildup and adds body

Created to remove excess oil, dry skin and environmental impurities without harsh abrasives, this 6 fl oz treatment combines activated charcoal powder with lightweight cleansing oils, mint and capsicum to detoxify and soothe the scalp. A flexible Amaranth Protein helps strengthen and add body to fragile strands so hair looks fuller while you style. Use alone or as part of the Surface Awaken Therapeutic System for ongoing scalp care.

How does this product remove buildup without rough scrubbing?

Instead of coarse granules, Awaken uses activated charcoal powder and clean, light cleansing oils to lift sebum, pollutants and dead skin gently from the scalp. The formula avoids abrasive texture that can damage fragile hair or irritate sensitive skin.

• Activated charcoal powder adsorbs impurities and environmental particles.
• Light cleansing oils dissolve excess surface oil without leaving residue.
• Non-abrasive exfoliation protects the hair cuticle and shaft integrity.

How do I use it for best results?

Apply Awaken to a damp scalp and work it in with gentle circular motions. Massage for about one minute, then leave the treatment on for 5–10 minutes to allow the charcoal and active botanicals to work before rinsing, followed by your preferred Surface shampoo and conditioner.

• Apply liberally to wet scalp, sectioning hair if needed for full coverage.
• Massage for ~1 minute, then leave 5–10 minutes for deeper detoxification.
• Rinse thoroughly, then follow with Surface shampoo and conditioner.

What benefits will I notice after using this scalp detox?

Regular use reduces visible buildup and excess oil, refreshes the scalp, and creates a cleaner foundation for styling. Amaranth Protein adds flexible hold and strengthens fine strands so hair appears thicker and responds better to blow-drying and styling.

• Reduced oily residue and flaky buildup for a cleaner scalp feel.
• Improved hair body and flexible hold from Amaranth Protein.
• Cooling, refreshing sensation from mint with gentle stimulation from capsicum.

Can this be used with other Surface products and how often should I use it?

Awaken is designed to pair with Surface shampoos, conditioners and the Awaken Therapeutic System for a comprehensive routine. Frequency depends on scalp condition—some users detox weekly, while others incorporate it as a periodic clarifying treatment.

• Compatible with Surface shampoos and conditioners for best results.
• Use as often as desired—weekly maintenance or targeted detoxing works well.
• Adjust frequency based on oiliness, product buildup and scalp sensitivity.

Who is this for: Surface Hair Awaken Therapeutic Scalp Detox is suitable for anyone experiencing oily buildup, product residue, dullness or the appearance of thinning—especially those with fine, fragile hair seeking a non-abrasive exfoliant. It’s ideal for people who want a clean, breathable scalp that supports styling results and pairs seamlessly with surface haircare routines.
