It sounds to me like the transition period, not necessarily build-up. Either way, I'd follow Morgan's advice above and do a brown sugar scrub. The baking soda/ACV thing isn't really for scalp issues.

Welcome :) I'm not sure about the Garnier, but the ingredients list I saw for Aussie does have a water-soluble silicone so it should be ok. Remember that these end in -cone, -conal, and -xane.

I use a lot of this stuff (and have since Day 1 of CG three years ago) and haven't had much of an issue with producty hair. If I do, it's usually because of the styler I'm using under it, and it goes...

You'd be surprised what products that didn't work pre-CG ended up working after. There were a lot that ended up working better than my so-called HGs.

That being said you could continue to use it...

This is what I was going to suggest as well. My guess is she is drying her scalp out with sulfates which creates flakes. Dry scalp is more common than, and often mistaken for, dandruff. She can...

In addition to what kathymack suggests, have you tried the spritz & condition method? It really helped keep my porous hair moisturized back when it dried out easily. I never had to (and still don't...

Baking soda can be extremely drying, even if you use ACV afterward to balance the pH. Sometimes it works for those with extra fine hair but even they need conditioner every once in a while. Try...

What products are you using right now?

It could be a couple of different things, but what comes to my mind is that you are transitioning, so this could explain the itch. A lot of curlies...

Just wanted to add that if you're thinking about Suave, make sure it's the Naturals line. The Professionals line is the one that has silicones.

I first started with Suave but switched to V05 about...

Brushing can disrupt your curl pattern, but I think it depends on when you do it.

The best time to brush is in the shower when it is coated in conditioner. This leads to less breakage and...

You've gotten great advice so far, so I'll just add that I clip up my hair with a big jaw clip after I've put in my rinse-out conditioner. This gets it out of the way and gives it time for the...

1. The only way to know for sure is to try it. But there are some general rules with protein. If you have coarse hair, you already have an abundance of protein and don't need the...
