Conditoner! To keep or not to keep!

[DivaD04]

Question!! Especially for those who are stay at homes...(all are welcome to answer, of course) If your dermatologist told you to shampoo and condition your hair everyday because you have seborrheic dermatitis (dandruff) would you just leave conditioner on your hair since your not able to put and keep oil on your scalp? And wear a satin bonnet everyday. Pretty much to keep from combing it everyday...my hair isn't liking it since I'm transitioning. I have to go without oil Yall!! Trust me, when I put ANY type of oil...my scalp just go the h e double hockey sticks off! BOYYYY like I'm in trouble! So I fight back by scratching and me and my scalp just start scrapp'n until I feel like I got :gotroasted:!! Where is my to sprinkle some of her long healthy scalp and hair magic?

Have you thought to look into some powders? Some of them clears or controls dandruff. Brahmi controls dandruff. Amla cures scalp infections. Aritha cleans scalp throughly. Shikaki clears dandruff. Neem clears dandruff and controls oil balance of skin.

As far as the conditioner question i really don't no. Would it bother your scalp?

I would follow your derm's instructions exactly. Whatever he said to do with the meds/shampoo and conditioner, I'd do.

If that includes leaving in a conditioner, then do, but if not, then don't. IIRC, SB is a condition that where skin cells build up due to lack of healthy cell turn over. It may well be that a super moist scalp only exacerbates that problem.

I just can't have oil on my scalp mainly. My irritation come from oil applied or built up so I'm told to shampoo and condition daily. I've just need protection for my hair. Especially while transitioning. For one he's a guy and two...I don't like to ask doctors of any kind about hair care...excuse me I don't want to seem and be shallow but you ladies know your hair far better than any doc. Seriously, my instructions from him is simple: 1) poo with personal poo 2) poo with prescribed poo 3) condition with personal conditioner 4) air dry and 5) add olux-e foam directly on scalp for 15min and then rinse...air dry again. I can do whatever else after that...except oil! whomp, whomp whomp So I'm following his advise I've just thought I'd ask you all what u thought about conditioner left on my hair for protection...I left it on after my poo-a-thon yesterday and I didn't have any irritation.

my derm rec the same thing for me when I was first diagnosed and my hair was somewhat on the dry side for a while. I finally decided to wash every three days, or so, can't remember now b/c it was back in 2000 and used co(b/c I KNEW my hair needed it) and it slowly but surely came back to life.
