What causes sebum plugs

Sebum plugs form when natural oils on your scalp combine with dead skin cells and dirt, blocking hair follicles. This can lead to itchiness and flakiness. Understanding the causes can help you tackle them:

  • Overactive sebaceous glands: Hormonal changes, stress, or genetics can trigger excessive oil production and sebum buildup.
  • Poor hair hygiene: Skipping regular hair washes allows oils and dirt to accumulate, forming sebum plugs. Regular shampooing helps keep your scalp fresh and clean.
  • Product residue: Some hair care products leave residues that can worsen sebum buildup. Choose products free from harsh chemicals that suit your hair type.

For solutions tailored to your scalp’s needs, explore our scalp care collection.

Natural remedies for sebum plugs

We believe in the power of nature to restore balance to your scalp:

  • Natural ingredients: Known for their antibacterial properties, mix a few drops into your shampoo for effective cleansing that reduces sebum plugs naturally.
  • Apple cider vinegar: A natural remedy for restoring pH balance. Dilute one part vinegar with two parts water and use it as a post-shampoo rinse to clear sebum plugs.
