far better to buy a shampoo that doesn't put a build up on your scalp and hair in the first place shazzabell. Read the ingredients and avoid anything with sodium laurel sulphate and sodium laureth sulphate in it.
Hi Shazzabell, I use "Herbal Essences" Clarifing shampoo, for normal/greasy hair once a week. It's the green bottle with Rosemary, Jasmine & Orange flower, it cleans your hair of oil and styling build-up without stripping it, and it smells really nice. :-)
PS I know this is not really what you are after shaz, but did you know that some conditioners also leave an unhealthy build up? look out for tallow and animal fat. but this can be stripped off with a vinegar solution for dark hair or a lemon solution for fair. Hope you enjoy your new shampoo...
My Mum always used to swear by an egg! She used to use a lot of hairspray and stuff and said that the best way to get rid of all that kind of stuff was to break an egg onto your hair and massage it in. You have to be careful to rinse in cool water though, don't want scrambled egg in your hair! Funnily enough I was reading this week somewhere that Catherine Zeta Jones uses egg on her hair!
Head & Shoulders will pretty much strip your hair of everything. Otherwise, if you put a shampoo into your hair dry and massage it in before rinsing/repeating, then this should do the trick.
