Scalp Buildup is one of the more common beauty issues yet most women or men realize how much of a domino affect it can cause with the health of your hair and actual growth. Over tie the residue from the shampoo and other hair care and styling products that you use can buildup on the scalp but more importantly it works its way to the opening of the scalp’s hair follicle and then it can work its way down into the pore where the actual hair growth process occurs. So what does it mean when this happen?
These are called sebum plugs however they involve more than just sebum. The scalp oils that are emitted are created inside the hair follicle. These oils have a primary purpose of creating oils to prevent dry conditions on the scalp and hair but this more for protective purposes than it is for visual. The sebum keeps the outter layer of the scalp’s most delicate skin hydrated which prevents cracks in the epidermis. This is huge because these cracks are where the mites, fungus and bacteria can work their way in.
This is very important since there is a battle that is constantly going on the scalp with the mites, fungi and bacteria to keep them at bay. The sebum is one of the body’s ways to do this. However, when the skin’s ph is change to a higher ph the cracks become inevitable and the protective layer weakens. This happens from shampoos and hair styling products that too high of a ph. This is typically when the sebum glands go into to hyper seborrhea drive and emit too much or they tend to shut down. Either way the balance becomes out of whack.
How To Get Rid of Scalp Problems Such As Scalp Buildup or Hardened Sebum?
The answer is to deep cleanse the hair root. Odds are that if you are reading this then you are having symptoms and this means that the hair follicle itself is full or excess sebum in a mix of yeast, bacteria, dirt, grime, product residue and more or any of the mentioned. This can become hardened like candy and this will in turn push out on the scalp’s outter skin in the form of a yellow or golden hardened, crusty dandruff looking flake. These crusties can be large or they can be crystallized and broken down already. Many people will refer to them as sebum beads or balls. Often times you will get a white scalp gunk on the scalp instead and this can be soft and peel easily. This can happen to men and women of all nationalities as well as kids and teens.

In over 20 years we have only ever seen an herbal mix deep cleanse the hair follicle. The clarifying shampoos and the scalp scrubs work on the outtr part of the sebum plugs but do nothing for the deeper part that is down where the hair growth occurs. The herbal mixture that does a good job of this is Zincplex mixture of deep cleansing herbs that you can find in shampoos and scalp lotions. These are often used for dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, hyper-seborrhea or seborrheic eczema problems.
Also the ph must be raised and while the herbs do a good job with this the shampoo must be at a more acidic level . Check the levels of the shampoos. You do not not want a ph 7 like many try to tell you. The normal ph of skin and hair is 4.5. This is when it is most resistant to fungus and bacteria as well as yeast. Head And Shoulders is above 6.5, T Gel is above 6.8 and Zincplex is the only one around 5.
