Scalp buildup and hair care routine

Illustration showing scalp buildup causes and a three-step hair routine to reset and refresh the scalp.

Diagram of scalp buildup with product residue, oil, dirt, and pore congestion, followed by a hair routine with clarifying shampoo, gentle exfoliation, and hydration to improve scalp health.

This image is a two-part illustration explaining scalp buildup and a hair care routine to reset it. The top half shows an unhealthy scalp with hair follicles clogged by product residue, oil/sebum, dirt, flakes, and waxy residue, causing pore congestion. The bottom half demonstrates a healthy scalp after following a three-step hair routine: Step 1 uses clarifying shampoo for a fresh, clean feeling; Step 2 involves gentle exfoliation to unclog follicles; Step 3 applies hydration for a healthy scalp environment. The illustration uses warm tones for buildup and cooler, refreshing colors for the routine, emphasizing the contrast between unhealthy and healthy scalp conditions.
