Sebum buildup

Good god this is getting frustrating...

All my hairs have a residue/build up at the end of the hairshaft near the bulb.
I'm taking about hairs that come off from the donor area and under the crown too where there is no baldness.

Someone please blow my mind. Tell me how to fix this, please.

My diet is great. I use good shampoos. Scalpure, LLLT...
This is just frustrating.

Have you tried the lithium/dmso topical? What shampoo are you using?

What do you eat in a typical day?

That could be too much, stop with the laser and clay and see what happens. Wash your hair with good shampoo and cold water, only every few days.

Apparently SLS in shampoos can create more sebum, does your shampoo contain SLS?

That's my experience too. Since using aubrey consistently I have no more problems with this...

Hey guys, thanks for helping

I use non SLS shampoos (i use dr bronners and i wash every day)
I only use LLLT twice a week, and Scalpure once a week

I drink only water, i dont drink coffee/alcohol or smoke. I also avoid sugar, wheat and dairy.
What the hell?

Scalpure is pretty drying, that can lead to sebum inbalances! Everything you do with your scalp can provoke these inbalances. The best way would be to wash your hair with water and only use lavaearth when you need to...it's messy but the best thing you can do.
Metals are also involved, especially mercury comes to mind.....

You're probably overdoing it. Your scalp is seeing it's dry as a desert and compensates by releasing extra sebum. I'd wash every other day at least, and go easy on the topicals.
