Itching

[Islandgrl98]

Someone please tell me all this itching in my scalp is from radical growth.
My scalp doesnt look iritated or dry at all.
All I've been using is an oil-sulphur mix on my scalp.

might be an allergic reaction..clarify your hair and let go of the sulfer for a few days and see if the itching stops

I saw stop using the sulfur mix for a while and see if that helps with the itching. Is that the only new thing you have been using recently when the itching started.

I've heard of people getting an allergic reaction and even eczema like patches from topical sulfur creams/products.

I got eczema from my sulfur mix dripping on my neck. It's gone now. I just put the mix back in my hair for the first time last night.

Some folks using sulfur have complained of itchy scalp (and headaches or other unusual symptons) after discovering they've used too much sulfur in their mix.

What's your ratio of sulfur to oil?

Lay off the sulfur for a week. Sulfur can be very drying and irritating, causing itchy flaky scalp. Wash your scalp with clarifying shampoo, really get in there and scrub. Use something like castor oil for a week and then go back to the sulfur. Sometimes what I do is I put an oil down first and then I apply the sulfur.

Thanks for the tips, I will try to lay of the sulphur for a bit and see how it goes. The thing is, my scalp doesnt look dry, flaky or irritated at all.

You're suffering from sulfur burn. Give it a rest for a week. Try something like Lenzi's Request.
