but maybe you're using too many products and it's overloading your follicles causing the itchies? Maybe you should cut down on the products for a bit, maybe use one product to condition and one product for moisture - then like some previous posters recommendeded stick to simple styles like buns or braids that require little or no manipulation and you should be on the road to recovery. I hope you find a solution that will work for ya!

been there, I used to use seabreeze to stop the itching dont do that-it makes the scalp more dry.
If you do a clarifying rinse with ACV use some whole mayonaise like from the market and load up your hair with it after the ACV and let it sit with a plastic cap on. The pics you have in your siggy look good to me, keep your head up, as you see the ladies here on LHCF got your back.
Your hair and scalp get used to having the text/relaxere after a certain amount of time that's why its hard to stretch out touch-ups if you've been doing them often, you have to work your way up to longer times without touch-ups. I had severe scalp damage when I was relaxed like she burned a small whole in my scalpden1 said:
Aww thanks for answering my questions Lucia, i remeber being burnt badly many times when i was being texturized by so called professional stylists. Do you i could have some scab hair too? since my hair in certain parts are coarse and rough especially the sides and middle portion.Lucia said:Your hair and scalp get used to having the text/relaxere after a certain amount of time that's why its hard to stretch out touch-ups if you've been doing them often, you have to work your way up to longer times without touch-ups.

that had to heal then my scalp/hair had to get used to no more relaxers-ever again. That may not be the cse for you but your hair has to adjust to being natural again. Just give it time and keep on babying your hair and keep positive it's just a phase that will pass. HTH

I've haven't tried the plastic cap method in while due to sinus issues i tend to get stuffy. you do have to be very careful, with over steaming the hair, its great to use a few nights per week for moisture, then just wear the baggie during the day time. I honestly feel that i'm seriously lacking in nutrients in my body and my scalp is probably still detoxicifying from relaxer burns, hence the soreness and rough spots. thanks for your concern you ladies are the best.Mahalialee4 said:
Den, it is so true please hang in there! Have you tried a hot oil or/deep conditioning treatment with a hot towel or heating cap. This always help me out alot with dry hair and a hurting scalp. But, please don't be discouraged. You have come so far!ThursdayGirl said:Hey Den!
Your hair is so beautiful-shiny, long and wavy/curly! You have to hang in there. You're such an inspiration to so many people
Thanks girl, last night i shampooed with ORS and conditioned with dark and lovely conditioner, my hair felt just okay. I applied sheabutter and it felt softer. this morning i appled my homemade moisturiser had mu mum comb it out in secsations and she twisted it it felt much better. I applied some MTG on scalp and it feels soothed. i jusat orderd some more msm to improve scalp, growth and texture. it helped before but i'll stick with it consistently i'm never going to stop taking vits ever again.czyfaith77 said:
Thanks all the info, i need that vit c crystrals to take with my msm too, as well as applying it topically to my scalp. Mahalialee4, i really can't stand and do not want thick hair, i wish i could exchange heads with someone who has finer hair than mine. oh well, i'm stuck with it unless i perm again.Mahalialee4 said:
