The feel of your hair as you run your fingers through it can play a huge role in your confidence. Indeed, we all like to emerge from our routine of shampooing and conditioning to find our locks feeling soft, hydrated, and smooth. However, our hair doesn't always feel completely refreshed after a shower, leaving us plagued with scalp irritation, greasy hair, or even waxy hair.
This waxy feeling most often consists of a film-like residue at the scalp or on the parts of the hair shaft near the root. This can make it feel more difficult for you to run your fingers through your hair, or can leave an oily or sticky feeling on your hands after you touch your hair. Residue like this can weigh hair down, making straight hair look limp and curls appear weighed down. Plus, waxy residue on the hair and scalp can curb hair growth, because you can't grow long, healthy hair without first having a healthy scalp.
