I have braids right now, but after my last relaxer (ORS no lye) in early December, I had a very itchy, flaky scalp. I assumed that it was just from the calcium build up so I bought the ORS Aloe rid shampoo. That didn't help much. I also tried clarifying with NTM and Suave (at 2 different times) and that didn't help either. That only got rid of the flakes that were in my hair, not on the scalp. When my SO's sister styled my hair in late December, she mentioned my dry flaky scalp. She mentioned it again when she was braiding my hair. Now that I have braids, I can really tell that it is NOT buildup, and that my actual scalp is VERY dry and flaking! It is not affecting my growth or growth retention, it just itches mildly. Should I go to the doctor or are there products that could help me before taking that (expensive) step? Was it the no lye relaxer that caused the dry scalp since I haven't been using it that long (last 2 relaxers)?
