#13: Can’t decide what to do with Scalp Buildup and Dandruff?
Here’s the Right Way to Clean Your Scalp!
When was the last time you gave your scalp a proper clean-up— before buildup and dandruff attacked?
Maybe you would say – “I clean it regularly” — but that’s not enough!
Stubborn scalp buildup is the accumulation of dead skin cells, dirt, sweat and residue from different chemical-based harsh products that stay on your scalp and start clogging your pores — resulting in inflammation, dandruff, irritation on the scalp and finally hair loss, dull and damaged hair.
Take it easy — With the right care, you can easily bring back that fresh, clean, flake-free scalp. Ready to know how? Let’s dive in!
Why Care for Scalp Buildup & Dandruff?
Clogged follicles
Scalp buildup often suffocates the hair follicles, obstructing the flow of needed nutrients and blood circulation to your hair bulbs— leading to hair loss and scarring.
Growth of dandruff
Excessive scalp buildup blocks the pores on your scalp, which in turn leads to dandruff — creating an environment for the growth of different infections and inflammations on your scalp.
Irritation & itchiness
Buildup and dandruff often result in inflammation, red bumps on the scalp skin and irritation — making you feel the ultimate discomfort.
Obstructs product absorption
Buildup or dandruff obstructs the flow of nutrients of treatment oils, shampoos and conditioners, which thereby affects scalp and hair health.
How To Care for Scalp Buildup & Dandruff?
Clarifying anti-residue shampoo
Choose a gentle anti-residue shampoo, rich in natural ingredients like ichthyol pale, salicylic acid, lavender and neem to clear off any buildup and dandruff.
Exfoliate your scalp
Once a week, exfoliation is a must-consideration that you must make to avoid accumulation of product residues, dead skin cells, sweat or dirt on your scalp, thereby preventing dandruff.
Avoid harsh products
Do not fall for products that are infused with sulphates, parabens or different alcohols, as they might potentially strip your scalp of its natural oils while aggravating irritations and residue buildup.
Regular & thorough washing
Consider frequent washes to make your scalp free from the accumulation of excess oil, dirt and dead skin cells, preventing buildup and dandruff.
