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.

Try using Paul Mitchell Clarifying Shampoo. It comes in a tall bottle that's black and white with some blue on it.It deep cleans, and it removes oiliness and product buildup. Be sure to use conditioner on your ends though, because if you use it every day without conditioner, your hair can get a little dry on the tips.
no, using conditioner makes it soft after you use the shampoo, but if you want your hair straight i advise you to straighten it.
To use an omni cleansing shampoo if you have black hair, start by wetting your hair thoroughly. Apply a generous amount of the shampoo to your scalp and hair, massaging it in gently to remove buildup and impurities. Rinse thoroughly, and if needed, follow up with a moisturizing conditioner to restore hydration. It's best to use this type of shampoo occasionally, as it can be stronger than regular shampoos.
Baking soda can be used as a natural alternative to regular shampoo, but it may be too harsh for some hair types. Using baking soda as a shampoo can help remove buildup and residue, but it is important to follow up with a conditioner to prevent dryness. It is recommended to use baking soda as a shampoo alternative occasionally rather than regularly.

They often used a lot of shampoo and conditioner. Their shampoo and conditioner was a little different; in the sense that they used substantially different chemicals to what we use now.
