HOW TO REMOVE PRODUCT BUILD UP FROM HAIR NATURALLY ?
Scalp Build Up- Scalp build-up is accumulation of dirt on hair and scalp from various origins, including sebum (oil) production, dead skin cells, hair products, airborne pollution, polluted water, pollen, tobacco smoke and many others. This build up can affect the appearance of hair and scalp health.
What are the sources of Scalp Build-Up?
Sources of Scalp Build-Up- Sources of scalp build-up can be natural, environmental and use of various hair products.
Natural Sources can be sweat, sebum (oil) production and dead skin cells shedding.
Environmental Sources can be pollution, pollen, alcohol, tobacco.
Product Accumulation: Several hair products accumulate on scalp and hair. Some examples are: shampoos, conditioners, hair styling creams & gels, oils, ointments etc.
Consequences of all the sources are same.
Scalp covered by hair creates a unique skin surface microenvironment that facilitates microbial growth, leading to a unique scalp micro biome. These microbes use components of scalp build-up as food sources which fuel their metabolic activity, enhancing their impact on the underlying skin.
Growth of these microbes leads to scalp conditions like hair loss, scalp psoriasis, eczema, dandruff and seborrhea dermatitis.
In addition to this entire scalp build-up can cause:
- Itchiness
- Redness on scalp
- Oily or Hard Skin
Scalp build-up can be easily seen or felt. But removing it is a task. After washing your hair if you feel that your hair and scalp are not completely clean then scalp build-up is the major culprit. Scalp build-up can just be washed away with your normal shampoo, especially if you are using one without sulphates.
Can Scalp build-up cause hair loss?

Folliculitis causes inflammation of the hair follicles may result in infection. Severe cases of folliculitis sometimes cause hard sores which is very difficult healing resulting in permanent hair loss.
