5 TIPS TO REMOVE SCALP BUILD UP | DERMATOLOGIST @DrDrayzday

Would this still be good for someone who's scalp is sensitive to the touch? We always thought my daughter was just tender headed but now coming to find out its tied to her eczema. I've been researching products to use, most things are for dandruff and itching. Is there anything for the redness and soreness? I can barely even part her hair without her wincing, forget about brushing lol but I use the purple balless wet brush (shes 14 now) Thank you!

This is my proven hairfall control solution 1. Avoid using very hot water to wash hair. 2. Don't forget hair conditioner. 3. Never use hard water. 3. Use all-natural hair oil, shampoo cleansers, and hair conditioners containing both onion and coconut like littleeeextra cocoonion kit. I have used these on myself as well as many friends, and it worked for everyone of us.

You know when people have Dri-Fit flakes and their head just so you know that is it's a fungus and the only way that you can get it the best way to get rid of it it's not with all the down lotions and creams and and things like that it has to do with one thing and one thing and one thing only will get rid of that dry crappy flakes and I know because I didn't I googled it and ask Google and it's called Omega threes it's a vitamin and is easy to take and doesn't take long and it'll go away and the same thing with the tangles there's one thing there's three vitamins that you need to take and there are dc&e vitamin d vitamin C and vitamin E will get rid of the tangles it's so easy within a week I got rid of I got rid of the tangles I couldn't believe my eyes I was like what I had 10 and 10 goals for the longest time until I took those vitamins vitamin d vitamin C and vitamin E I got rid of it and the stinking ask for them damn dried flakes I got rid of them easily and I took a mega threes and I don't have a Bryce flake in my head at all they're all gone and it's because it's caused by when when you were a child when you were a little baby your mother had made a cut in your like scraped your scalp and that's how the fungus began I'm trying to tell it to help you people out if you were balloons leaving me and what time do what I tell told tell you to do you will get rid of that crap and immediately but you want to use these topical things that don't work and you're spending pouring money down the drain when all I do all you have to do is take all you have to do is take vitamins and you have to be taking them faithfully like every single day

I've been using a scalp mask weekly for my drandruff that has salicylic acid, pineapple enzyme, and piroctone olamine in it and it's made such a huge difference in my hair, i also use a chelating shampoo since i live in a hard water area which helps massively too

I used a Scalp massager shampoo brush for the first time & my scalp felt the cleanest ever.👍

TIP: To get shampoo targeted at the scalp rather than trying to get it on top of hair and then working it into scalp, which is difficult if you have thick hair or thick shampoo. Get a bottle with a screw on lid with a LONG POINTED TIP, and add shampoo. If shampoo is thick, dilute it with enough water to make it a thin consistency to go through the tip easily. Place the tip on your scalp at various spots and squeeze shampoo throughout your hair. It's much more efficient cleaning plus you don't waste shampoo by it not reaching where you want it. I just repurposed an Agave syrup bottle, but you can buy these types of bottles at beauty supply stores.

This Neutrogena is one of the terrific shampoo

Personally, stopped making such errors & it led to the hair health improving without any hairfall:
Mistake A. Allowing oil applied to my scalp too long... Instead Simply leave it applied for 3-4 hours just.
Mistake B. Massaging hair oil harshly on my scalp. Rather, rub it gently.
Mistake C. Using oil with excess. Instead Use a smaller quantity but spread it evenly.
Mistake D. Not de-tangling hair before oiling. Rather use a dual teeth neem wood comb.
Mistake E. Rinsing mine hair immediately just after oiling. Instead allow for three to four hours and than just clean ur hair.
Mistake F. I was using strong shampoo, oil, conditioner. Instead of use mild, organic ones only. For example, I personally switched to littleextra cocoonionn antihair fall kit and it resolved my hair issues.

Another doctor recommended using dish washing soap once or twice a week to wash the hair. Is that safe? I wash my hair twice a day and I’m bald. After couple of hours my hair stinks, my head sweats a lot oh and I don’t have any dandruff, I’ve tried head&shoulder. Nothing works

I get scalp acne! I have to wash at least every other day and if the product is too hydrating I break out too 😅

I use minoxidil which causes my build-up and dry scalp. So, I am not sure how to handle this issue, since I have to use it daily or even twice a day.

I'm not sure I'm understanding this, so are you supposed to use conditioner you rinse out and apply on your scalp and what about a leave in conditioner??

Money saving tip: CVS Therapeutic Dandruff Shampoo is a great dupe for the Neutrogena T-Sal shampoo.

To much cleaning is bad too ask a woman who keeps a yeast infection! Doc.

Thanks

I have scalp psoriasis and can’t wash my hair frequently. My hair is 4C natural and it breaks off & shreds more if shampoo too much. I live in a small town and don’t have access to hairstylists who deal with ethnic hair.

For sensitive scalp the best schampoo I found is finnish tar schampoo. "Tervaschampoo" in finnish. Its the best.

Appreciate the breakdown of all the different things especially the differentiation between psoriasis and dandruff treatments

Oh yea citing the FDA gives one great confidence!, NOT!

Thank you Dr. You are amazing ❤

i want to begin a new hair care era: scalp care
-wash every 3-5 days
-preshampoo oil and massage
-acid exfoliating scalp treatments
-exfoliate scalp every day with scrubber
-brush scalp every day with wooden or boar bristle brush
-blowout on wash days
-scalp serum for oil control
-drinking more water and figuring out what to do when i exercise
-washing my brushes every time i wash my hair
-having a separate brush i use when my hair is super oily

Sadly I can only wash my hair once a week

All of a sudden I really want to wash my hair.

A little bit of baking soda sprinkled in the palm of your hand with shampoo does wonders. Removes scalp build up & relieves itchies. I keep a box in m shower just for this.

Very informative as usual. Thank you.
Couple of questions for you regarding hair. This could be a couple of videos 🙂
1) How necessary are conditioners. How long to put on scalp. How to identify good ones ? What ingredients.
2) Do you recommend hair mask over conditioner ? Any recommendation for leave in conditioner
3) Can I just use like regular salicylic acid face wash on my hair (like the laroche posey)
4) Why can't I just use my body wash on my hair ? Are the ingredients in shampoo different.
5) I am south asian and I have found that my hair is pretty dry even if I use a good conditioner. And no product out there does a reasonable job of keeping my hair not dry. I have tried expensive products like moroccanoil (which has very little actual oil). The only thing that works for me is a couple of drops of oil. Of late I have started using rosemary oil. I read that there is data to show it promotes hair growth. Any thoughts on this please.

Is it okay to use all these shampoos one by one? At the same time

Never really thought about the fact that wearing a hat could lead to an itchy scalp. It all makes sense now... thanks for these tips!

What is Kirby's scalp routine?

I got dandruff from not washing my hair so often, but it was solved with a Dercos brand dandruff shampoo, which is from Vichy, has salicylic acid and selenium. It's very good, I massaged myself very well and let it act for 10 minutes. I used it for a few days and the dandruff was solved. Thank you doctor Dray

Matter of fact I got this just a sweet it was horrible I woke up with a thick tight rubbery film attached to my skin on my head when it finally started peeling it was literally making it raw it was so big it took some of my hair so be careful guys it will take patches of hair and so with the scabs but it was horrible

What treatment would you recommend for someone whose hair has been thinning too much and who now has smelly dandruff as well?! I hesitate to use strong dandruff shampoo thinking it may cause more hair to fall out.

does getting rid of the scalp buildup help with hair growth?

Does hair dye counts as hair build up?

PLEASE HELP!!! I went thru a long depressive period and didn’t wash my hair. I now have a lot of build up plus I think dryness and I CAN NOT get it off! I don’t know what to use!

Hey Dr your hair is getting long .nice

If you're using a clarifying shampoo weekly I would definitely be deep conditioning and or doing an oil treatment weekly as well. That will dry it out a lot. Also I feel like a lot of people sleep on protein conditioners. Using one of them monthly would help a lot of damage

I have seborrhea dermatitis; my scalp gets sore, itchy and flaky. I have been told I have scarring alopecia. I’m practically bald at the top of my head. What’s going to help?

Dr. Dray - the best thing you can do is be less gross
Me, chronically burned out and exhausted - I'm *trying*!

In love with all your videos. they are very helpful, so thanks alot. I would like to know your opinion on using scalp sugar scrub.

Hmmmm... MORE SHAMPOO? For LESS buildup? Im not so sure

Can we use anti-dandruff shampoo as a clarifying shampoo?

I have natural hair but I need to shampoo (with sulfates) at least twice a week. My scalp will be miserable if more than a few days go by without washing. Plus, I sweat a lot while working out so I need to clean that off.

It can be challenging since my hair is about bra strap length.

The Karen of the dermatologists😂

This was so helpful I have very high density wavy/curly hair so trying to fully clean my scalp is a chore

Another effective but unusual shampoo as well as face and body wash is black soap. Yes it looks black but lathers non color so no worries. Its AMAZING for gentle exfoliation on the face to clear skin while keeping it soft and supple. Its great for gentle scalp exfoliation while keeping hair moisturized too 😘

A FAB shampoo for balancing oily scalp is Jojoba ~ works awesome for balancing oily/dry hair 😘 I recommend a quality but affordable health food store shampoo over the drug store to reduce harsh chemicals and fragrances

Spraying scalp with ACV once a week before shampooing works excellent as scalp clarifyer, especially with hard water ~

Great video!
