Itching before a touch-up?

[jazzyfunknastee]

It seems to me that my scalp knows when I'm about to get a touch-up and will put itself in "itch overdrive"

. I last washed Saturday but didn't put anything on my scalp until yesterday night. I greased my scalp with some Tea Tree hair grease hoping to ease the itching (which it did but only for a hour or so and I'm going to base myself with Summit's Protective Scalp in about an hour). I intend to get my touch-up later on this morning but for future touch-up purposes how can I ease the itching because banging my head instead of scratching is SO not cute

Girl, I have the same problem. I think its a mind thing!lol

Lightly patting the scalp is MUCH better than scratching.

I think it's a mind thing too. Right before I got a touchup, my hair would always itch. Now, 23 weeks post-relaxer, I don't get the same problem (only after applying Surge and then only for a few seconds).

i used to have terrible itching too, but now i use Surge on my scalp and it has really helped!
