I’m so sad I’m crying

You can clean your scalp by running warm water over it and rubbing your fingertips across the skin with vigor. This helps to shed the build up, just make sure not to scratch the skin and rinse thoroughly.

Alternatively:

Paste method, baking soda: I keep a small plastic container of baking soda in my shower. When I first started the no poo method, I would put about 1/2 to 1 tablespoon in my palm and then massage that into my scalp. For the 1st 6 months, I did that about every 4 days. Then for the next 6 months, I did that about once a week. Now, I use about 1 teaspoon of baking soda about once a month (I do other washes in between my baking soda washes). Spray method, baking soda: This method is more popular. Mix about 1 tablespoon of baking soda in about 1 cup of water. Store in a spray or squirt bottle (non-plastic is best). This amount is 1-3 applications (depending on your hair).

And then give yourself a scrubby dub with a nice cloth and rinse again.

I hope this helps ease you a little. I’m sorry.
