    Posted: February 08 2007 at 4:43pm

Hello everyone!  I need a solution for my dry itchy scalp.  I recently stopped using hair grease on my scalp.  I have been moisturizing it twice a day with keracare jojoba oil moisturizer and sealing it with keracare essential oils, morning and night consistently.  I did a co wash yesterday with keracare's humecto conditioner mixed with evoo, coconut oil and honey.  I washed that out an applied some dove moisturizing spray, jojoba oil moisturizer and the essential oils.  I let that air dry and when I woke up to do my hair this morning my scalp is really dry and itchy.  To the point where I can scratch it and get flakes.  I wanted to try the no grease on my scalp thing, but what's a girl to do.  Any suggestions.

I have been avoiding heat, by letting it air dry, but my ends are just frizzy.  If I leave it loose and air dry they are frizzy and when i do a roller set with some diluted lotta body setting lotion it is still frizzy.  The only way I can get the ends straight is by flat ironing them, but I'm trying to avoid that heat.  Any suggestions?

Try a sensitive anti-dandruff shampoo..make sure it says sensitive because many dandruff shampoos are very harsh. Apply evoo to your hair overnight with just a little bit of Garnier Fructis Deep Conditioning serum and then wash it out with a hydrating shampoo like Mane n Tail. This works for me when my strands are in need of some good moisture!

I do have some keracare dry and itchy scalp shampoo to use when I do  shampoo wash, I just need something in between washes.

Hey Kimanve, I think what might be giving you an itchy scalp is using the keracare as a conwash...I believe it has cones it which coat the hair and your adding oil to it so (this has happened to me) basically if the scalp is not 100% clean the cones + oil are going to coat the dandruff---you may notice that the scalp is white. When this dries the scalp itches and flakes. I would suggest using a cone free conditioner like VO5 Champagne kisses/Moisture milks,White Rain or Back to Basics Pomegranete. I don't think anybody's hair dries straight but Pocohantas has a tutorial about airdrying with a rollerset---so maybe you can put the hair in a loose ponytail and roller set the ends? HTH

Hi,

  I think you might be using too many products on your scalp at once. Also, I went 2 years without using grease and now I have to use it or I will get the flakes and stuff. It might be the weather, depending on where you live.   I would try using less products on the scalp first.  
 
Also, If you ends are frizzy when you air dry, try putting some hair lotion/moisturizer on your ends while it is damp then let it air dry.

How do I know when the conditioner has cones in it, because I looked at the ingredients for the keracare and nothing said cones, unless it is in a different name.  What should I be looking for to find out if it has cones.

Thanks

Hey kimanve...a cone ingredient will end in xane, ine, or cone. For example dimethicone, cyclopentasiloxane, dimethylamine. HTH [:-)]

you might need a thicker oil. try castor instead of jojoba oil and refrain from adding any conditioners or products to your scalp

Head and Shoulders rubb it in while ur wearing conditioner. wash it out completely. lower the heat on ur iron and put on thermal protector.
