Scalp Build Up

Scalp build-up occurs when excess oil, dead skin cells, and product residue accumulate, causing irritation and discomfort. Left untreated, build-up can lead to itching, flaking, and clogged hair follicles.

Here's some things you need to know about Scalp Build Up

  • Greasy or waxy scalp
  • White or yellowish flakes
  • Unpleasant scalp odor
  • Clogged hair follicles or bumps
  • Infrequent washing
  • Overuse of hair products
  • Excessive oil production (seborrhoea)
  • Dead skin cell accumulation
  • Hard water deposits

Proper cleansing and exfoliation help break down build-up and restore scalp health.
