How do I get rid of this itchy scalp!!!!!!!?????!!!

[taylokc]

I've never had a problem with my scalp being itchy or nothing....no dandruff or nothing. Ive tried to use the KeraCare Dry and Itchy Scalp line. I prepooed with the conditioner and everything. I keep my scalp moisturized. Nothing is working. Do y'all have any products or techniques that you use to solve this serious problem????????? Chime in ladies!!!!

have you tried clarifying your hair? could it be product build up on your scalp?
If not tea tree oil helps with itchy scalp

 

[taylokc]

I just got a relaxer and straw set two weeks ago and im gonna wash them out this weekend so maybe ill try some tea tree oil. my scalp has been itching for about two months now and i have clarified within that time. So I don't think its product buildup.

 

[yuriko]

maybe you should wash or co-wash more frequently

 

[taylokc]

yeah that's what I do because I tend to soothe myself by scratching when I wash and co-wash. So I wash my hair like every 3 days now becuase its itching soooooooooo much!!!

 

[yuriko]

aww, sorry to hear that, you should definitely try the tea tree oil, I would suggest any minty ointment,( I know keracare has one), or anycream that will call the scalp to tingle. Apply that to your scalp, HTH, well thats what helps me

 

[taylokc]

Ok thanks Im gonna try it

 

[Filmatic]

I know when I had this problem frequent cw helped also aloe oil.

 

[taylokc]

Aloe oil....hmmm....that's interesting. I never used that before. Where can I find some???? Another question: If I decide to get some tea tree oil, should I mix it in with my shampoo or prepoo with it or what???

 

[KAT25]

try doing an oil rinse with it but mainly put it on your scalp and massage.

ETA: what about the product that you use on your hair, have you tired any new products lately? you could be having an allegeric reaction to something.

 

[Qualitee]

sulfate free shampoo. oil your scalp with avocado oil or peppermint oil. bt and bee mine stops itch and flakes. HTH

 

[Nonie]

You said you've never had this problem before. What are you doing differently?

 

[PatTodd]

I had a persistently itchy scalp for a while once for no apparent reason. I pre-poo'd with Amla oil a few times and it stopped.

I got mine from the BSS. And I agreed do an oil rinse. I use to warm it and apply it directly to my scalp with a nozzle.

Hi Taylokc, I've had a lot of success with BT. It's really great because it helps stop itching and flaking. Trust, this stuff will help your scalp. Or you might even want to try MN. This works good too. I put a little Olive Oil, Aloe Vera Oil, Vitamin E Oil, Flaxseed, and a little cinnamon, cayenne, and sage then I mix it altogether with the MN. If I got other EOs I throw that in too. You mentioned that you tried Keracare Dry & Itchy Scalp products...they didn't help me either. Not even the High Glossifier which smells pretty good and is supposed to help combat dryness, flakes and itching did not stop my problems.

 

[Mrs.TheBronx]

what is MN and BT?

 

[gymfreak336]

Is your scalp flaking?
Is it red?
When do you notice it itches the most?
How do you shampoo your hair.

 

[taylokc]

Thanks for respnding, ladies. I have some Boundless Tresses but I don't want to use just yet because I just got a relaxer and I want to enjoy it before I get any new growth.

I've never used Alma oil...but I will definitely keep it in mind.

I think Im gonna go ahead and get some tea tree oil.

As of my normal routine, I don't think Im doing anything differently. I wash every few days....haven't tried any new products....not eating differently....don't have dandruff....and my life hasn't changed drastically unless it stress because I do have a heavier course load this semester.

PEPPERMINT OIL. I dab straight peppermint oil all over my scalp and my head feels cool all day!

 

[mistee11]

what is MN and BT?

MN is Miconazole Nitrate (anti-yeast/anti-fungal cream) and BT is Boundless Tresses, a product created by one of LHCFs own member. It consists of sulfur, olive oil, and coconut oil.

Try a treatment for a week with Sulphur 8 to which you'd added just a few drops of Thyme essential oil.

 

[Ballerina_Bun]

ORS - Uplifting Shampoo or

Kerastase - Bain Bio-Recharge for Dry Hair

Maybe adding EFA's to you diet too.

Also, if you are leaving conditioner on for a longtime or over night, that sometimes causes the scalp to itch. It'll take a little whle for it to go away.

My sister was also having a very itchy scalp
