Kim Dokjas Thighs asked a question

GUYS i need help. My hair used to be really light, fluffy, voluminous and even a lighter color but I’m dealing with such bad buildup that it’s the complete opposite of that Even worse, nothing I’ve tried is getting rid of it!! Closest I’ve come to it getting better is when I did a baking soda and castor/rosemary oil exfoliation but it only worked for one day and immediately went back to before.

I’ve used my regular clarifying shampoo that used to clean my hair pretty well but hasn’t fixed it. (Paul Mitchell shampoo 2) I’ve also tried shampooing twice. Apple cider vinegar rinses. Other DIY exfoliations. Rn I’m too broke for a chelating shampoo or glycolic/salicylic exfoliator and scalp scrubs. I might try some when I get some more money.. I also don’t wanna buy a bunch of clarifying shampoos or whatever and find that none work.

If anyone has any products or tips pleaseee help me.
I have low porosity, thick, slightly wavy hair.

Also, I think the buildup occurred from me using dry shampoo too often and a new shampoo I started using a year ago to help for when my clarifying shampoo became too drying. I also do have hard water, but I’ve had hard water for 5 years and it never caused buildup like this as far as I know.
