For shampoo or conditioner to treat buildup, look for products with clarifying agents like sulfates (e.g., sodium lauryl sulfate) or apple cider vinegar—both help dissolve residue from hard water, silicones, and heavy styling products. A 2021 case study by the International Journal of Trichology found that using a clarifying shampoo once a week reduced scalp buildup in 83% of participants after just 4 weeks.

You don’t need something fancy—just effective. Brands like Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo or Paul Mitchell Clarifying Shampoo Two are widely used for this. If you prefer natural options, a diluted apple cider vinegar rinse (1:3 with water) after shampooing works surprisingly well. Just don’t overdo clarifiers—they can dry out hair. Balance with a light, silicone-free conditioner like Aveeno Apple Cider Vinegar Conditioner.

Got buildup? Clear it once a week, and keep your hair breathing easy.
