itchy scalp-relaxed heads

[janaq2003]

what's up with this? why is it whenever it gets to be "that time" to relax, your scalp itches? I know I'm not the only one. I wanna know what can I put on it other than oils because I don't clog my pores.

GIRL, it is a shame when it's time for a perm. My head itches so bad I can scratch my scalp off.

I use liquid shea butter or coconut oil...they 'are' oils but because they are essential oils they don't clog the pores.

This helps a lot. Without the oils it's like there's an ant parade marching on my scalp

and you know my head ONLY itches when i'm due for a relaxer....thats some bull****!!

I dunno, y'all. I think for me it's because my new growth is so kinky and tight, the coils are growing and laying in one direction, and pulling my scalp and relaxed hair in laying in the opposite direction, and it makes the scalp sore. (Cuz, y'know, itchiness is just small pinches of pain anyways) So whenever I feel it, if I put moisturizer or something softening on my new growth it makes it feel a little better.

I just went ol'school. Yes, I greased my scalp with Sulfur 8 tonight and I immediately got relief from this itchiness. I don't care what no one says, Sulfur 8 has saved the day!

Totally mental - my head used to only start itching when I would schedule an appointment for a touchup. If I cancelled the appointment, the itching would stop.

Girl I am in the same boat my head is itching like crazy because it knows it is getting permed on Friday.

Yep! That's what happens. Decide to relax, get the itchies. So what you do is, make an appointment, then tell yourself it's cancelled (but don't cancel) and Taa Daa! No more itchies.
Nope it's not working!!!

my head itches in one spot and one spot only... and that's the spot that always tingles during relaxers... Maybe I need to base my scalp. (<--- that's such a DUH statement. But my mom or the salon always did my relaxers and they never based anything but the outter edges and the top of my ears.)
