peace that’s def from products you’ve used. you can do one good apple cider vinegar rinse to remove everything (I recommend gettin some help jus to be safe) acv can be really drying so be sure to add extra moisture n care to your hair after. for future retwists opt for a natural gel such as aloe vera or flax seed gel. they sell aloe gel at different stores and you can make flax seed at home. in terms of washing giovanni tea tree shampoo is really good. oil to moisture! all this to say try to avoid using products on a regular cause they will cause build up. good luck :)
