If your scalp is still itching three days after wash- day, it probably isn't build-up.!!
Build-up behaves predictably....
It gathers slowly, it responds to washing, and it settles once it's cleared.
Itching, flaking, or tenderness that returns quickly or never quite leaves is usually telling you something different.....
That distinction matters more with Afro and textured hair, where wash days are spaced further apart .... The instinct is to assume the scalp needs a harder clean.π« π« π« π« π«
Often, it needs the opposite: less friction, less stripping, and someone actually looking at it properly.
A scrub can't tell you what's happening on your scalp. A trichologist can!!!!!
Do you wash your scalp, or just your hair???
If yours has been asking for attention for a while, a consultation is a good place to begin.
