Looks like you have scalp buildup. But did you get out the wax and gels used when you started? For the scalp, use baking soda /ACV rinse to exfoliate the scalp. Here is a link for that.

You have a mix of African American/Mexican textured hair, so hopefully another member with the same texture will help you out some more.

Peace

You actually pour the mixture onto your scalp. Here is the recipe: Mix 1/2 cup baking soda with 5 cups water and pour DIRECTLY onto your scalp.... Let it sit for 10-20 minutes...then rinse it out well. Next you will mix 1 capful of apple cider vinegar to 5 cups water...pour on head and rinse within one minute. For the first time, I suggest a deep cleanse, so leave the BS on for 20 minutes.

There are a couple of ways to remove wax. The first one is for Wax B Gone:

i just washed my hair. i filled my bath tub with water because my head was too big for bowls. and it was hot water with Dish Soap. and i soaked my head in it and sort of massaged my hair. and the water got disgusting. and i will do it again next week.
