Buildup Question

[carolinaberry]

Hi, guys. I am still new here and this is the first time I've ever intentionally tried to grow my hair out. I've been reading through a lot of threads on here to get an idea of how to go about growing my hair long and I have a question:

How do I know if I have buildup? Maybe this sounds silly to y'all, but I don't generally worry too much about ingredients...if a product makes my hair look/feel good...I use it. However, everything I've read on here suggests that using products w/ cones will cause buildup, so what are the signs of this? If anyone has time, pictures would be awesome.

Thank you! Man, your hair is gorgeous! So, if my hair feels light/silky and looks shiny does that mean I have no build-up? Could this be b/c I have to use anti-dandruff shampoo, so it is harsher than some other shampoos? I find the whole science of this very interesting.

Anti-dandruff shampoo does tend to be pretty harsh, so you could be right! :) In any case, if your hair looks and feels healthy you probably don't need to be concerned that you have a build-up problem.

Thank you so much for the compliment. :flowers:
