In today's age, there's hardly a woman out there who goes without styling her hair on a regular basis. Dry shampoo, mousse, gel, heating products, you name it and a gal out there will have used it. And sure these products might work wonders for your hairstyle in the short run but in the long run, they get stuck in your hair and won't even wash out easily. And eventually, this can lead to product build-up in your hair. So, if you're wondering how to get rid of all this build-up here are some tips you can use.

Oil-based scalp massages work exceptionally well for people who've done treatments to their hair or got their hair coloured. Take some olive oil in a bowl, heat it for a few minutes and once warm, apply it to your scalp. Let it sit for 15 minutes and wrap your hair with a towel or a shower cap to let it help soak the oil. Then rinse with shampoo.

Garlic is known to have multiple health benefits but were you aware that it can also boost hair growth? Well, all you need to do is grind some garlic into a paste and then dilute it with a few tablespoons of carrier oil like coconut oil or olive oil or jojoba oil. Mix the ingredients and your hair mask is ready.

For this, you'll need 1/4 cup coconut milk, 1/3 cup castile soap, 2 capsules vitamin E oil and 15-20 drops fragrant essential oil (optional). Mix all the ingredients well and store it in a bottle. Use it whenever required and make sure to massage your scalp well while using it.

Rich in vitamins A, C, D, E, and K, Shikakai makes for a rather nourishing ingredient. Take two tablespoons of Shikakai powder and add some water to it. Mix well to form a thick, consistent paste. Once done, wet your hair and then apply the paste to your scalp and hair and massage well for a few minutes. Rinse with cold water.

A couple of teaspoons of cinnamon, baking soda, and olive oil is all you need to make this nourishing detox hair mask. This blend works to get rid of product buildup and dirt. It also protects the hair from damage as it is loaded with antioxidants. Leave this treatment on your hair for at least 20 minutes before you wash it off with a mild shampoo.

To make this treatment, you will need four tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and half a cup each of bentonite clay powder and pure aloe vera. Combine the ingredients until you get a nice smooth paste. Next, apply the mixture all over your hair and leave it on for at least 30 minutes. The clay works to remove the toxins from your hair and scalp. Meanwhile, the gel provides a lot of nourishment.

Baking soda pretty much works like an exfoliator when it comes to your hair. Take one tablespoon of baking soda and mix it with two tablespoons of warm water. Apply this mix to your scalp and massage it all the way through to the ends of your hair. Once done, wash your hair like you normally do and you'll notice the difference immediately. But remember to do this only once a month or else you'll end up stripping essential oils from your hair.

The hair's natural pH level is slightly on the acidic side. And when you end up with product build-up in your hair, it tends to leave behind an alkaline residue which can damage your follicles. So, to bring your hair's pH levels back to normal, mix some apple cider vinegar with water and run it through your hair. Massage it well into your hair and then rinse. But make sure you're using raw apple cider vinegar and not something with sugar in it.
