After removing braids, weaves, or wigs, many clients experience scalp issues like product buildup, itching, flaking, odor, and clogged follicles. Regular shampoo alone doesn’t fully lift debris or clear the scalp, which can lead to dull hair, slow growth, and irritation.
Our Build-Up Blocker is a gentle yet powerful scalp detox treatment designed to deeply cleanse and refresh the scalp post-install.
Formulated with AHA, micellar water, and our Tri-Citrocelle Complex, it breaks down buildup, lifts impurities, and helps rebalance the scalp—without stripping or drying.This sulfate-free, paraben-free, alcohol-free, silicone-free, MIT-free, color-safe, vegan formula is perfect for all hair types and textures—especially those transitioning from protective styles.
What They Are & Why They Matter:
AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid)
A gentle, water-soluble acid—commonly derived from fruit—that exfoliates the scalp by breaking down dead skin cells and excess sebum.
✨ Why it's in your product: It helps loosen and remove buildup, flakes, and residue without harsh scrubbing, leaving the scalp smooth, clean, and balanced.Micellar Water
Made of tiny cleansing molecules (micelles) suspended in water that attract and trap dirt, oil, and product residue.
Why it's in your product: Micellar water lifts impurities from the scalp gently but effectively—perfect for sensitive scalps or post-braid/weave removal.
Tri-Citrocelle Complex (likely a proprietary blend)
This is likely a trademarked or branded mix of citric acid-based exfoliants or clarifiers combined with botanical or hydrating ingredients. While exact formulations vary, they typically help remove buildup, rebalance pH, and condition the scalp.
Why it's in your product: To support a healthier scalp environment, improve product penetration, and leave the hair feeling refreshed—not stripped.
What Does “MIT-Free” Mean?
MIT stands for Methylisothiazolinone—a synthetic preservative used in many shampoos and skincare products. It's been linked to scalp sensitivity, allergic reactions, and skin irritation, especially in people with sensitive or compromised skin.
Why it's important: Being MIT-free means your formula avoids harsh preservatives and is gentler and safer for sensitive scalps and frequent use.
Build-up Blocker
Apply the Build-Up Blocker directly to your dry or damp scalp before shampooing. Section the hair and use the nozzle or your fingertips to work the product in. Massage gently until it begins to foam, then let it sit for 1–2 minutes to activate. Rinse thoroughly, then follow with your regular shampoo and conditioner.
