Is My Scalp Absorbing Shampoo?

My scalp seems to absorb the shampoo and the conditioner that I use while washing my hair. The day after I wash my hair I can scrape off what appears to be concentrated, semi-paste, shampoo and/or conditioner of my scalp if I run my fingernail through it. This makes my hair look bad and it makes my scalp feel weird and itchy. Is there anything I can do to relieve the suffering?

This doesn’t sound like your scalp is absorbing the shampoo. It could be caused by inadequate washing. Wash your hair thoroughly and the shampoo and conditioner should come off. If you’re taking cold showers, use a little warm water to try to break up this semi-paste you’re describing (doesn’t need to be burning hot, obviously).
