How to avoid having a dirty scalp

When braiding, avoid using leave-in products to prevent scalp buildup. The use of hair care products regularly can cause a buildup that irritates the scalp.

Use a clarifying shampoo to remove scalp buildup. A clarifying shampoo is one that thoroughly cleanses the scalp. A lathering shampoo also aids in scalp cleansing. When washing your hair, use lukewarm, not hot, water. Hot water will over strip the hair. Allow it to dry.

When shampooing, use circular motions to stimulate blood flow and prevent further irritation. Another option is to use apple cider vinegar. Cleaning your scalp with apple cider vinegar kills bacteria.
