I have some bad hair spray buildup on my hair!! I have tried vinegar,  baking soda,  vinegar and soda together,  Suave Clairfying shampoo.

It has NOT helped 100%.  The soda and vinegar together then shampooing after helped them most but not all of the buildup is gone.

Is there anything else to TRY? 

Is there a way to avoid the buildup? I have to use some hairspray on my fine hair.

try this. it is recommended for once a week,then use your regular shampoo other days. If you have a really bad buildup I would try it a couple of days to get your hair totally clean, then do the once per week.

@CherryHugs,  Try using a thickening product for your hair that is water soluble.  You won't need the hair spray.  It will thicken your hair and is does not build up.  I use Aquage thickening spray gel.  It comes out as a mist.  You would have to play with it to see how much you need.  For build up I always used apple cider vinegar & water and massage into the hair then rinse with clear water.

I used mousse and hair spray every single day I worked, so Neutrogena was in my shower stall until I retired.   It's a great product.

Every couple months I put shampoo in my hair and then while it’s sudsy I will open a room temperature beer and use it in my hair. I just massage it through my and leave it set for a few minutes.  It makes my hair feel so soft.

I use Ion Clarifying Shampoo once a week.  Sally Beauty supply sells it.  It is safe for color treated hair.  It really works great and doesn't leave my hair feeling stripped or dry.  My hair is so soft, bouncy and shiny after using it!

Can't help you with removing buildup, but I CAN help ....

Please STOP using whatever kwap you are using and start using L'Oreal Elnett Hair Spray.   Tall skinny gold can, best price around is about $12 at Walmart.  You can spray with it day after day after day .....  and when you need to comb your hair at the end of the day, it's very easy to do. 

Yes, it may seem a bit pricey, but it's worth every penny and a can lasts me (fine hair) almost 6 months with daily use.  It has an ultrafine mist, which I think helps a lot, but the formula is superb.  One of the versions also has sunscreen in it.   

Sometimes you can find the smaller 2.2 oz size, but don't count on it.  Get the 11 ounce can and never worry about build up going forward.  I'll bet you never use anything else ever again!   It's really that good.

Baby shampoo.

How many days do you go between shampoos to accumulate that much buildup?  I would suggest washing your hair more frequently.

Not sure you tried this yet.  But I apply apple cider vinegar Bragg, Mother (found on the shelf in grocery stores)  or the one that says organic.  Pour it  over your hair - don't rinse yet - wrap your hair in a towel for about 10 to 15 minutes and then wash it out.
