What causes scalp buildup?
There are different causes of scalp buildup. It’s important to know which one you’re dealing with.
This will help you find the right treatment. It will also give you the necessary information on how best to prevent scalp flaking in the future.
Natural buildup and product buildup are the two main causes of scalp buildup.
Natural buildup
Natural buildup on the scalp involves several factors.
Dead skin cells
The skin cells covering your body are constantly dying and regrowing. When they die, they’re supposed to shed. New ones should grow to replace the old ones.
But for some people, the dead skin cells do not shed fast enough, and this can lead to a buildup on your scalp. A buildup of dead skin cells will usually cause a lot of flakes to fall from your scalp.
Sebum
The scalp produces a natural, waxy oil called sebum from glands beneath the skin. Some people produce more of this oil than others.
Sebum plays an important role in protecting your skin from infection and helping keep it moist. However, when the body produces too much sebum, it can build up on your scalp.
Sweat
In addition to sebum and dead skin, your scalp produces sweat. This can also add to your scalp buildup.
Some people naturally sweat more than others. If you’re especially active, you might also sweat more than most people. A sweaty scalp often causes greasy hair and may give off an unpleasant odor.
Product buildup
Residue from hair products is the other likely cause of scalp buildup.
Many hair products contain waxy substances that can stick to your hair and scalp if not thoroughly rinsed out when you wash it.
Examples include:
- shampoos
- conditioners
- styling creams, oils, gels, and foams
Use ALFAPARF MILANO SDL haircare products, sulphate free, paraben free specifically formulated to relieve itchy,irritated scalp.
