What Does Buildup Look Like?
Short-term greasiness
Because most build-up is caused by oily substances, the beginnings of build-up can make the hair shaft appear and feel oily.
Long-term dulling with time
As the buildup increases, less sebum is available to adequately cover the scalp. With less sebum on the strands, the natural hair shine will be reduced, and your locks may appear lifeless.
Breakage
As the hair dries due to moisture loss, the shaft weakens and begins to break. The buildup of sebum on your scalp can cause redness and/or irritation.
Flakiness
Excess sebum on the scalp can promote fungus growth since the sebum and dead skin cells have nowhere to go with the product build-up, causing the scalp to dry and flake.
Best Natural Remedies for Buildup
Vinegar
Using vinegar on your locks may seem weird, but it helps remove buildup. It also balances the pH of your hair, smoothes the cuticles, and makes your locks feel soft and silky. However, remember that this rinse is unsuitable for color-treated hair because it may cause the dye to fade.
For the vinegar rinse, you will need;
- 1 to 2 teaspoons of vinegar.
- 1 cup of lukewarm water.
- A bottle to store the rinse.
Procedure
- Place the water and vinegar in a cup or container. Mix the vinegar and water with a spoon. If you’re using a bottle, just close it and shake it. If you have longer or extremely thick hair, use twice the amount which means 2–4 teaspoons of vinegar and 2 cups of water.
- Instead of plain vinegar, mix 5 to 10 drops of essential oil into 1 cup of vinegar. Shake the vinegar to blend in the oil, then use it in your rinse. Do not use undiluted vinegar in your hair, you can use lavender, peppermint, rosemary, or tea tree oil. Use your preferred essential oil.
- Use your favorite shampoo to wash your locks, you are doing this to eliminate dirt. Tilt your head back and close your eyes firmly. Pour the vinegar water over your head, allowing it to run from your hairline to the ends. Gently rub your fingers through your hair and across your scalp. You may feel and see some soap bubbles growing in your locks. This is typical, and it indicates that the vinegar-water solution is working properly. Consider rinsing your locks in cool water. The chilly temperatures will help to seal the cuticles.
Baking Soda
- Two tablespoons of baking soda.
- Three cups of water
- A bottle for storage.
Pour water into a big bottle or pitcher. Add the baking soda and whisk with a spoon until it is well dissolved. Soak your hair in water and gently massage your preferred shampoo into it. Rinse out the shampoo. This is to remove the initial coating of grime and grease. Tilt your head back, close your eyes, and apply the baking soda solution to your hair. Make sure it goes from your hairline to the ends. Rinse your hair again with ordinary water. This is to remove any baking soda residue. Then apply conditioner, while baking soda helps to dissolve buildup, it can be slightly drying to the locks. To keep your locks from becoming too dry, wash them again with some water and your preferred conditioner. Rinse your hair thoroughly, unless you’re using a leave-in conditioner.
Lemon Juice
The acidic properties of lemon or lime juice will help dissolve any buildup in your locks. Remember, however, that lemon and lime juice can lighten your locks, specifically if you get too exposed to sunlight.
You will need the following;
- 1 tablespoon of lemon or lime juice.
- 3 cups of water
- A large bottle.
Fill a big bottle or pitcher with 3 cups of water. Add a tablespoon of lime juice. To blend, stir everything together with a spoon. Wash your hair well to remove dirt. Tilt your head back, close your eyes, and apply the rinse to your locks. Make sure it goes back from your hairline and to the ends. Allow the rinse to sit for some minutes. Be careful not to get the solution into your eyes, as it can sting. After a few minutes, tilt your head back to rinse your locks with plain water.
After that, apply some conditioner. Once you’ve rinsed out all of the lemon/lime, apply conditioner to your locks. You’re doing this because lemon/lime juice can dry out the scalp, applying conditioner will help prevent this. Unless you are using a leave-in conditioner, make sure to rinse it out of the locks.
