I need some recommedations for a scalp leave-in?

[fuzzyhead]

My scalp has been really dry lately. Even after I shampoo my scalp is still dry and flaky. I have been looking for a scalp leave-in that will keep my scalp moisturized, and not greasy. I have been looking for that Jamaican Mango & Lime cactus oil serum. But my main BSS store Sally's has again let me down. Everytime I go there looking for something they have discontinued it. But what really makes me mad is that it just happens to get discontinued after I have came in and walked past it 50 times. I just bought an aloe vera plant. Then I was looking up the benefits of aloe vera. And I read that aloe has salycic (sp?) acid, sulfur,etc in it. I did not know that. So I was thinking about just rubbing pure aloe on my scalp. But I read somewhere that you should use the gel from the rind and not the leaves, I'm so confused!!!


But the question I want answered is what is everyone using on their scalps?
FYI I'm natural and my type is 4a.

I don't use anything on my scalp, but I did experience some serious flaking, which I thought was product-related. It turns out that it was actually allergies.

During that time, I used a carrier oil (almond, grapeseed, or coconut oil) with a couple drops of rosemary, a couple drops of lavendar and used a q-tip to apply to my scalp. This relieved my dryness and promoted good growing.

Whenever my scalp gives me problems I use a mixture of 100% aloe vera gel,water(a little bit) & carrier oils (almond, grapeseed & castor oils) I use it a couple a times a week when needed HTH

I use to have this very same problem. I stopped washing my hair with shampoo & grease and started taking Flaxseed oil and my scalp and skin are doing great.

I do conditioner washes only.

Take a look at All About The Hair's Thread in the Hair Recipe Forum titled "Mint Hair Tonic." This is what I do and it really works when it get the itchies.

What shampoo are you using? The detergent my be too high for you.
