1. Wet your hair in the shower.
2. Work a generous amount of Biolage Polishing Hair Scrub Sugar Shine System through your hair, from scalp to ends.
3. Massage the scrub well with your fingertips, so you feel the crystals working on your scalp.
4. Rinse thoroughly until no scrub particles remain in your hair.
5. Then shampoo and condition your hair as usual.

Have colour-treated hair? Pair the scrub with Color Last Shampoo. It cleans your hair without fading colour—a logical step after scrubbing.

Your hair shines more and is easier to comb after use. This is because the sugar crystals mechanically rub away the built-up residue, something regular shampoo can’t do. This is the essence of hair exfoliation: a clean surface reflects light better, which you see immediately as shine. Glycerine attracts moisture to your hair, so it feels supple, not dry, after scrubbing. As a Sisilicone-free hair scrub, this product leaves no heavy residue that dulls your hair again. Your hair looks fresher and healthier, and you’ll notice that effect right away. You can safely use the Biolage line more often without weighing your hair down.

Yes, the scrub is safe for colour-treated hair. The formula contains no Sisilicones or parabens, and the sugar crystals are water-soluble, rinsing out fully without stripping colour pigments. If you’re wondering whether the Biolage Sugar Shine Polishing Hair Scrub is good for coloured hair: it is, as long as you follow with a colour-safe shampoo.

Use the scrub once or twice a week. That’s enough to remove residue without stressing your scalp. If you have fine, quickly greasy hair or use lots of styling products, you can safely use it at every wash as the first step before shampooing.

A scalp scrub works differently from regular shampoo. Shampoo cleans the hair itself, but a scrub also removes small layers of sebum, flakes and product buildup near your roots. Do you notice your hair quickly looks dull, even shortly after washing? Then it’s likely buildup that shampoo can’t remove. The Biolage Polishing Hair Scrub Sugar Shine System tackles this with mild sugar crystals that are gentler than salt or ground particles. Do you have a sensitive or easily irritated scalp? Then be cautious, as the scrub contains perfume and fragrance components that may cause reactions for some.

Many hair scrubs use sea salt or coarse particles that scrub harshly. The Biolage Polishing Hair Scrub Sugar Shine System uses water-soluble sugar crystals that feel milder and rinse out completely. That makes it suitable for hair that can’t tolerate too much friction, such as fine or slightly damaged hair. Heavier options like the Christophe Robin sea salt scrub clean deeper but can dry out hair. The Kérastase FuSio-Scrub offers a more intensive treatment with essential oils but is tougher in approach. The Biolage Polishing Hair Scrub is the best choice if you want shine and to remove buildup without weighing hair down. If you’re looking specifically for dandruff treatment or a sensitive scalp, you’ll want a specialised scrub or medicated shampoo instead.

No, the Biolage Polishing Hair Scrub Sugar Shine System contains no Sisilicones or parabens. This is reflected in the ingredients list where neither is present. That means your hair won’t feel weighed down after use and no layer remains to dull your hair over time. A great choice if you prefer lighter products.
