Before we jump straight into it, let's take a quick look at what coffee is best to use.
Coffee Beans.
The ingredients we'll use only slightly differ between the 3 different coffee scrub types. But first, let's clear up something on the kind of coffee we want to be using.
Whether your using instant from a jar or coffee maker coffee, you want to avoid using "finely ground". This stuff is just to 'powderry' to use as a scrub. It may clog up your skin pores and maybe give you a 'coffee tan'.
Best Coffee for a Rinse?
-
Organic Robusta - Light Roast is the best coffee bean to use due to it's naturally high nutrition content.
-
Arabica is fine.
-
Liberica is ok but you'll get 'limited' results due to it's low caffeine content.
-
De-caff is pretty useless as it contains almost zero caffeine.
-
If your coffee doesn't say Robusta or Liberica, it's Arabica.
You can use whatever coffee you have in your kitchen, unless it's
de-caff or 'finely ground'.
The below is just to let you know what the best stuff to use is.

Some Cucumber.
Some Salt.

This smoothie will naturally contain:

Citric Acid.

Glycolic Acid.

Lactic Acid.

Malic Acid.
-
Tartaric Acid.
-
Cucumber.

sugar.
Why rub all this stuff into your head?
This is what they do:
-
Citric Acid.
Citric acid helps lower the pH level of you scalp skin. This is a big help in keeping your hair strong & healthy (All hair types).
-
Glycolic Acid.
Glycolic acid helps maintain moisture, strengthen hair and also prevent breakage.
-
Lactic Acid.
Lactic acid is known to increase the tensile strength of your hair, thus reducing breakage and reducing the fragility of fragile hair.
-
Malic Acid.
Malic acid is known to eliminate bacteria and dandruff. It also can give your hair a nice shine. It also neutralizes the pH levels of the hair follicles and removes micro-dirt deposits stuck to the hair.
-
Tartaric Acid.
Helps keep the Ph levels of your scalp/hair at healthy levels. Gives a healthy shine to your hair.
-
Cucumber.
Cucumber is a strong aid in promoting healthy hair growth.
(there's loads of info on google about cucumber for healthy hair).
-
Salt.
Salt will loosen and remove micro-flakes of dead skin and stimulate circulation for a healthy scalp. Salt will also absorb any excess skin oil, which eliminates fungus and the root cause of dandruff. It's also a powerful anti-bacterial agent.
-
Sugar (Brown is better).
Sugar mainly serves as a natural exfoliant for your scalp. If you use shampoos or any kind of hair products, you'll be surprised how much micro-gunk will not be removed by normal shampoos.
