Sebum plugs on the scalp that are inside hair follicles or clogging them or inside of skin pores are more than just plugs that close up the follicle. They prevent the oxygen and eternal nutrients from entering and they also keep the environment moist inside the follicle which is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and fungus. The result is that there is often bad inflammation inside the pores or follicles and this pinches down or closes them.
This clamp or pinching off of to the hair and prevents proper growth. However, that is just the beginning. Redness, itching and with the growth of the bacteria, fungus and yeast other symptoms of dandruff, eczema, psoriasis type scaling and similar can all occur.

Together there will cleanse away the congestion both on top of and inside that will allow the shampoo or cleanser to irrigate away the remaining part of the build up. It is similar to unclogging a drain and then when you run a little water the rest of the drain will unclog.
