I need some advice about my scalp

[Michelle79]

Hey Ladies,

Yesterday I got a relaxer after 15 weeks. My hair-stylist says my scalp was very dry & that I was going to burn (I did).

I suffer from dandruff (especially in the winter months) & I don't want to put anything on my scalp that would create more problems. Is there anyway to keep my scalp moisturized without clogging it up with product?

TIA

I litely oil my scalp just about every other day. I co wash as well. I think your scalp is less likely to be "clogged" as long as you regularly clean it. Of course "regular" is completely to your discretion.

Thanks Tasha. I have some Kercare Ess. Oils & some tea tree oil @ home. I will try those & hope that they work.

Regular for me is every Sunday.

Have you tried aloe vera gel?

Drink lots of water (dehydration can lead to dry skin, including the scalp), take a Flax seed supplement daily, eat oily fish like salmon at least twice a week, massage your scalp well when washing your hair.

No, but I'll look into that as well. Thanks.

I do try to drink plenty of water but I admit I do slack off sometimes. I slack off on the flax oil too. I'm not a big salmon fan but I'll try to add some to my diet. I'll try the scalp massages too.

Thanks ladies!
