![]() The reason for having hair with low porosity is that the cuticle scales lie tight against the surface of your hair strand. ![]() your hair doesn’t absorb water as well as most people’s hair. Low porosity means your hair isn’t as porous as most i.e. ![]() Using the wrong conditioner will cause product build up. Personal opinions aside, many of the conditioners contain silicon/petroleum products. On the flip side, movements like this are forcing manufactures to rethink the way they formulate shampoos and conditioners. Personally, I think this is a needless exercise as there are plenty of extremely gentle shampoos out there. The theory is that the conditioners won’t strip your hair of its natural oils. Co-washingĬo-washing is a relatively new practise of using conditioners instead of shampoos to wash your hair. Luckily we monitor all our shampoos for all the silicon/petroleum oils that aren’t water soluble. This can cause all sorts of trouble, not least product build up. Prolonged usage will coat your scalp with a layer of gunk. What they don’t know is that many of these products are not water soluble. Don’t forget, the best moisturizer for your hair or scalp is water! Silicones/Petroleum oils make your hair feel moisturized though, and that’s why people like them. The ironic thing is that they don’t moisturize at all. They give your hair that lovely soft sheen. Silicones and petroleum oils are added to shampoos to de-tangle and “moisturize” your hair and scalp. Rinse thoroughly, and don’t use scalding water! Using products containing silicon and petroleum oils Not rinsing thoroughlyįailure to rinse out all your products out will inevitably cause product build up over time. The result, really bad hair and product build up. I would grab a handful and not distribute the products evenly at all. I was pretty useless at putting on the gels and waxes as a kid.

Adding too many products too many products will give you waxy, greasy, flaky, lint attracting hair. I did this as a teenager and have regretted every photo. What causes product build up Not shampooing enoughĪdding products on top of products without regularly washing them will inevitably result in that familiar residue on your scalp. As we mentioned before, it’s not dandruff, but it certainly looks like it. As this skin/gunk mixture builds it will naturally start to fall from your scalp and will look like dandruff. This cycle is affected by product build up and your flakes of skin mix in with the gunk. Your scalp has a natural cycle of shedding skin. Water can’t penetrate this build up and it’ll eventually dry your hair and scalp. Over time, these residues accumulate, leaving a coating of gunk on your hair and scalp. They leave tiny amounts of residue every time you use them. Some of the gels, mousses, hairsprays, shampoos and conditioners contain chemicals that don’t dissolve in water. The great news is that it’s extremely straightforward to get rid of product build up using a number of simple treatments. ![]() Product build up isn’t medical at all, but rather behavioral. You may or may not know that it’s an extremely common form of dandruff…īut it isn’t technically dandruff at all!
