Identifying scalp gunk. *dandruff, sebum, buildup?*

Oh i have that, isn't that just natural skin cells that shed like on our bodies and face??
That's what i assumed.
It completely goes if you wash your scalp with some bicarb added to your shampoo and massage the scalp well. Your scalp will have NOTHING on it for days, then it starts up again.

I swear i think this is just normal skin renewal and shedding?
It can't be dry scalp??? I have an oily scalp! Now i am really confused. It could be product use, even though i'm on all natural no: SLS, cone, paraben and artificial things inside. Maybe I should go back to herb washes and see if that takes it away. I like a challenge to find something that will take this white dust away, not that it bothers me in the slightest!
I can't use conditioner on my scalp, so perhaps that is the culprit to "dryness".
Maybe i should try poo bars again?
This is really interesting. Thank you for alerting me to this

It's sebum and scalp skin Dandruff is fungal, and believe me, you'd know if you had it.

I doubt it's buildup, although it can and does build up on your scalp if it doesn't get truly clean once in a while. For me, a good CO with a scalp massage does clean it properly.

I wouldn't go on any new routine to try to "get rid of it", were I you. I doubt you'll stop your scalp from shedding skin and producing sebum
