Gunk at roots after bs wash

so i started using baking soda wash. & i was sure that i washed it all out. & when i got out of the shower, i found a little bit of white gunk / wet gooey substance. it looks like wet baking soda but im not too sure. any information on this??

u didnt make the bs strong enough and maybe didnt use acv

thats the dead skin paste not fully removed

bs exfoliates taking off dead skin but making it into a paste thars not removed unless the bs is string enough to remove it

My hair always has this. I have followed the guidelines. I thought it was maybe cause i have hard water. Ive boiled the water but their was no minerals at the bottom or anything like that. I have even used bottle water to no avail. I have a residue on my brush-(haven't started dreading yet, hoping to find a job first). Even when I shaved my head all the time I had skin I could scrub off with fingernails. So I'm not sure what it is for me.

I have similar issues with the dead skin. I know that diet can contribute to such things. Maybe try using coconut oil on your scalp it seems to help me.

when would be the best time to put on the oil? cause i actually do have coconut oil somehow haha. ty in advance

I just wrote this in another thread so i just copy paste it.

"I had the same problem with buildup for a long time. I just put a little bit more baking soda and let it sit for 20-30 minutes instead of 10 and the buildup was gone. Be sure the water hits the scalp with some pressure too."
