Lately, I have been noticing a really greasy feeling on my scalp.
Is this because the Oklahoma summer air is getting hot and humid, or do
I need to change my hair care regiment? I have been washing my
hair the same way for two months with great results and now this... Another thing: Do any of you ever spot clean your hair? Yesterday, I did my weekly hair wash but today at church, a little baby spit up in my hair. I just wet it down in the sink with some soap because I didn't have shampoo with me. Is that OK to do? If I do it again, I will use normal shampoo, though. |

I've found a good scalp massage during the wash keeps my scalp from getting greasy.
It's ok to spot-wash your hair every time a baby spits up in it. I give you my permission. -------------

Have you added any new hair products to your regimen? If so, maybe that's the culprit. And w/ baby spit-up in your hair, do you think a "spot" rinse is enough? I'd want to do a complete wash to ensure it's ALL out! ------------- ~~  LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE!~~

Well, I could tell that it was only in one area, so I didn't think it
was neccisary to wash my whole head. I am sure it is all
out. When I got home, I checked to make sure everything was
clean. No, I have not added any new products to my regiment. eKatherine, thanks for the pointer on scalp massaging, I'll have to try that. -Char |

I haven't been everywhere in Oklahoma of course, but all the places I
have been there were incredibly dry in the summer with almost no
humidity at all. (It was more like an oven, I could walk uphill 5
blocks to the grocery and never break a sweat even though it was 115
degrees!) Is it possible that your scalp is actually getting
dried out and is producing more oil to counter the dryness? ------------- Making metal barettes/concord clips hair safe, long hair style how to: http://alonghair.wordpress.com |

During July and Augest, it is extremely dry here, however, in the spring, it is humid. It just rained every day the past week. I can't figure this out! My skin is flaking off my scalp, too. I've never experienced both things at once. -Char |

Hmmm, do you dilute your shampoo (Dave's method)? It may help. ------------- Making metal barettes/concord clips hair safe, long hair style how to: http://alonghair.wordpress.com |

| Yes, I do... I don't know why this is happening. I just decided to wash it, yesterday even though I already had on Saturday. I couldn't go out of the house, it looked soo bad. |

Three days between washes with the shampoo dilution method in June in Oklahoma... sounds like it's going well. I notice that the hotter and more humid the weather here (FL) gets, the more quickly my scalp gets dirty. I've recently reduced my washing interval to 6 days (and am about to go to 5 days). I believe in adjusting when necessary - whatever works for you. ------------- |
