Calling all those with oily-prone scalps! We've spotted a stellar saving on an exfoliating hair treatment that banishes the appearance of oil, flakiness and itchiness - but it's not sticking around for long.

Tresses that naturally succumb to grease quickly can feel like a constant battle that even your favourite shampoo might not be able to fix, whether that be the best shampoos for fine hair or a clarifying formula. So, rather than dousing your strands in the best dry shampoos for oily hair, you might be in the market for incorporating a skincare-powered scalp treatment into your hair washing regime.

Working to exfoliate oily, itchy and flaky scalps, we've stumbled across hair treatment that is currently marked down by an impressive 33% in this week's Boots £10 Tuesday. Not to mention, the 24-hour sale also makes home to a plethora of other discounts on big name brands, including savings of up to 71% off the likes of Olay, L'Oréal Paris and No7.

The exfoliating scalp treatment that banishes greasiness and flakiness

The treatment in question has amassed hundreds of reviews on the Boots website alone, averaging a 4.1 star rating. So, it comes as no surprise that customers hail the lightweight formula for its ability to 'help with any build-up or itchiness', whilst leaving the scalp feeling 'cleaner' and hair feeling 'lighter'.

The scalp serum has been designed to be used as a pre-shampoo treatment on either wet or dry hair. Simply massage directly onto the scalp before leaving it on to work its magic for 10 minutes and rinsing with your usual hair wash routine. The brand recommend incorporating it into your regime 1-2 times a week in order to see the benefits of the results.

In fact, our Digital Beauty Writer, Sennen Prickett, is a fan of the treatment herself. She says: "As someone with hair that quickly gets greasy just two days after washing, I'm always on the hunt for a product that will help keep my oily hair at bay for longer - and this treatment is exactly that. It delicately exfoliated any dirt, flakiness and excess oil from my scalp, without stripping it of all its moisture, leaving my strands looking as fresh as when I step out of the salon."
