What scalp buildup is
Scalp buildup is the accumulation of oil, sweat, flakes and product residue around the scalp and hair roots. CopperTheory GHK-Cu Scalp Shampoo is the rinse-off step used to remove that buildup before a leave-in scalp serum is applied.

Buildup can make the scalp feel coated and make precise serum placement harder, but persistent scaling, soreness or inflammation should not be self-diagnosed from appearance alone.
