I was talking to my roommate about my dry scalp and she tells me that she applies her dc directly to her scalp like grease. I know Ive read not to but If it's being washed out anyway what could it hurt?
 
No. Shampoo is for your scalp. Conditioner is for your hair.

Why do you feel you need conditioner for your scalp?
 
I only apply conditioner to my hair, but after I'm done I do massage my hair and scalp so it probably ends up getting on my scalp.
 
There are conditioners that are also scalp treatments and the directions will say to apply it to your scalp. One example would be Deva Curl Heaven In Hair.

It can be very helpful and healing to apply conditioner to your scalp if the conditioner is designed for that.
 
I'm sure some conditioner ends up on my scalp since i like to make sure it gets to my roots but it's not intentional. Shampoo is for the scalp.
 
No, I only apply my homemade mixture of essential oils and Ayurvedic herbs to my scalp.
 
When my hair was longer, no I did not put it on my scalp. Now, I kind of have no choice.

If you're having scalp issues I would say get something that is designed for your scalp. Reg conditioner or DC wont do anything special for your scalp unless its also a scalp treatment.
 
I apply to my Hair, but since I steam every DC Session, it gets on my scalp during the Steaming Session.

As other posters have said, there is no way to avoid it.
 
I massage my scalp after applying DC. I also apply DC heavier on my edges and nape and it makes my NG and broken hairs softer and stronger (manageability).

I don't put conditioner directly on my scalp. May cause flakes, dandruff, greasy scalp. We have sebum, that's good enough.

Everyone's approach is different but I love a nice, breathing scalp.

I'd say make sure that your shampoo is not too stripping, it might be disrupting the natural production of sebum on your scalp.
 
I was just looking for a thread to find out if I should put conditioner in my scalp or not a couple of hours ago. I was looking at the directions of my Aubrey Organics Blue Green Algae Mask and I noticed that the directions suggested that the conditioner be applied to the hair and the scalp. I looked at my other Aubrey Organic conditioner (Honey Suckle Rose) and it said the same thing. So I decided to put the conditioner on my scalp, even though I googled the idea and every site seemed to advise me not to. Well I'm under the steamer right now and my scalp is itching like crazy. LOL Big Mistake.

After you rinse it should not be a problem. However, I've never used AO products with a steamer, just a heat cap. I do apply my AO conditioners to my scalp when i am doing a scalp treatment and have had not issues.

I don't think using certain conditioners on the scalp are an issue. I do think only certain conditioners can be used this way and under certain circumstances.

Yup yup, a fresh clean breathing scalp is the bid-ness. Only thing I like on my scalp is evoo with eo mixed in and that is only if I'm having scalp issues. Other than that my scalp stays nekkid

That's true. Another example is the alter ego garlic mask.
 
i tried applying it directly to my scalp before, and was dcing with some heat. Im not sure if it was the conditioner or what, but my scalp was itching like i couldn't believe. That was my first and last time doing that.
 
Maybe if I use a decent amount of oils (essential and carrier) to my condish but now a days I'm using tea on my scalp underneath my DCs

NaturalEngima, I use White Camellia frequently. I use it as a daily moisturizer, dry DCner, for steaming DCner on damp hair and most recently, a cowash. The product gets on my scalp but I don't itch. I haven't used the Algae Mask or HSR though. Maybe something is aggravating your scalp in these products.

Your right I rinsed out my hair and it no longer itches, but I don't think I'll do that again. It takes too much time to apply conditioner to my scalp, roots and ends.

I think all Aubrey Organic conditioners have the same directions. I went on Amazon and looked up the White Camellia conditioner for its directions and it said "Shake well before using. After shampooing, apply to damp hair and work through, concentrating on the ends. Leave on for 1 or 2 minutes, then rinse. For deep conditioning: Apply to dry damp hair and distribute from scalp to ends. Leave on for 15 minutes, then shampoo and condition hair as usual." Aubrey Organic conditioners are thick, maybe it was too heavy on my scalp. Oh well, I'm not trying that out again. I felt I like wasting product. :nono:
 
Thank you guys! I will try to just apply evoo and tea tree oil to a damp scalp to lock in moisture.
 
No. I heavily oil my scalp before a dc or dt. The oil acts as a barrier between my scalp and any possible irritants in my conditioner. I also make a conscientious decision to condition the length only and not my scalp
 
Honestly, i think applying deep conditioners to my scalp, leaving conditioner in my hair and just generally not taking care to wash out all the condtioner residue (especially since I almost never use shampoo) caused my hair to thin and bald in some spots. It also really makes my scalp itch. So, now I am avoiding getting anything synthetic anywere near my scalp. I've found ayurvedic herbs and water to be all I need to touch my scalp. It does not like anything although sometimes I oil it to regrow the hair that I lost in those places.
