Avoid styling products with heavy silicones for proper scalp care<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the days following wash day it\u2019s important to be aware of the styling products that come in contact with your hair and scalp. Popular ingredients such as phenyl trimethicone, dimethicone, and cyclomethicone are non-water-soluble <a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/blog\/silicones.php\">silicones<\/a> that can cause buildup easily, leaving your hair and scalp feeling dry or greasy. These ingredients and others can be found in many styling products and may not be considered harmful, but can certainly contribute to the feeling of needing to cleanse strands ASAP. Instead, go silicone-free with your stylers or look for products containing water-soluble silicones such as PEG-7 Dimethicone that won\u2019t cause hard-to-remove buildup on strands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Switch to a non-aerosol dry shampoo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many popular dry shampoos on the market contain <a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/blog\/aerosols-environment.php\">aerosols<\/a> that help to propel the product\u2019s formula effectively into the roots. Although it is true that this is an effective way to target excess oil, it isn\u2019t the cleanest route for our scalps. Aerosol dry shampoos contain popular propellant gases such as butane, isobutane, and propane that can negatively impact scalp equilibrium causing flakes, sensitivity, itchiness, and the feeling of build-up. Switching to a <a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/products\/custom-dry-shampoo\">non-aerosol formula<\/a> that contains ingredients such as <a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/ingredients\/oat-flour\">oat flour<\/a>, that soothes the scalp, reduces this risk while maintaining scalp equilibrium. The result? A cleaner, residue-free, silky formula that helps to absorb excess oil from scalp and strands. It\u2019s\u00a0 also free of perfume fragrance which is known to irritate a sensitive scalp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Use a pre-shampoo scalp mask regularly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Prose\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/products\/custom-scalp-mask\">pre-shampoo scalp mask<\/a> contains all of the necessary ingredients needed to maintain proper scalp health. Formulated with ingredients such as <a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/ingredients\/kaolin\">kaolin clay<\/a>, french pink clay, and <a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/ingredients\/jojoba-beads\">jojoba beads<\/a>, this creamy micro-exfoliating mask produces a gentle foam that targets various scalp needs without leaving behind any film or residue after rinsing. It is <a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/blog\/microbiome-friendly-prose-scalp-mask.php\">certified microbiome-friendly<\/a>, alcohol-free, fragrance-free, and silicone-free which helps keep hair and scalp healthy in between washes. With these benefits, your scalp is able to handle any irritation that can come its way on off days\u2014even if it\u2019s environmental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><h2>Wrap up<\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What do all of these tips have in common? They highlight that the ingredients found in your haircare products are crucial and should be closely inspected if you want to avoid buildup and really focus on scalp care. Following these tips and switching to a <a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/consultation\">custom formula<\/a> can help keep your hair and scalp feeling balanced between wash days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bye bye buildup. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":19421,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[389,17],"tags":[266,325,323,324,268,479,264,267,265],"class_list":["post-19420","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-category-hair-health","category-scalp-care","tag-curly","tag-dandruff-high","tag-dandruff-low","tag-dandruff-medium","tag-frizzy","tag-new","tag-smooth","tag-very-curly","tag-wavy"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How to Take Care of Your Scalp to Avoid Build Up | Prose<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Here are tips for caring for your scalp between and on wash day.
