My hair is crunchy and I don't know why

Ever since I started CG, my roots (well, all the hair above my ears, really) have been stiff and crunchy. I'm not using any styling products at the moment, so it's not the crunch that comes from gel. I clarified before starting CG and did an ACV rinse this morning, but it's still stiff. It feels like I have gel in it, but I don't. Is this normal? Is it just my hair adjusting to the lack of shampoo? My hair would be lovely if it wasn't for this. Please help! 
ETA: I scrubbed my scalp agressively this morning in the shower and the stiffness/crunch is mostly gone. I guess it was buildup or something. Thanks for your help, MimsTX!

it SOUNDS like buildup... maybe try putting some baking soda in warm water and pouring that over it, scrubbing at the roots a bit? I've never used it, but a friend who was trying to go 'poo-less swears by it.
I'd wait and see what someone more experienced has to say though. It's weird that it's just the one part of your hair.
