FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO RELIEVE MY SCALP FROM ALL THE ITCHIES?????

It's unbearable. And it's just been one week in this weave. I've oiled my scalp and used African braid spray but nothing is helping. Do I just wash my hair?? I was gonna do that but I know I can't airdry with weave and it's too late to use my hair dryer.

Thoughts???

Weave Solutions for An Itchy Scalp

How to Wash Your Weave

How to Moisturize Your Hair While Wearing a Weave

EbonyCPrincess has several other videos on how to care for your hair under the weave. Also, she has good videos on relaxed hair care. You should subscribe to her on YT, she has good healthy hair care practices for someone that relaxes and wears weave.

Thanks. I think I'm gonna wash my hair tomorrow night. I rather do it myself anyway than wait two weeks to have someone else do it for $50.

I used some witch hazel on my scalp and that helped a little. It'll get me though the night at least but yes, this is a major con of weave. I don't think ITCHIES were ever this bad with braids.
 
i think moisturizing my ends last night caused tangles and reverted and smooshed my ends together. i had way more tangles than normal
 
i think i will just moisturize my hair only when im about to redo a style and after washing. i started a couple of weeks ago with just oil and detangling was a breeze now all of a sudden I'm hitting obstacles. maybe that's why in the pass detangling was a hassle for me
 
I have neglected my hair for the past3 weeks but its still behaving and staying moisturized...I think I am going to treat it to a good DC I'll use the good stuff *bask cocoa mask* since its been in good behavior lol

it scares me because I'm about to deep condition with protein, well its almost finished. i should be done this week and then use my little bit of grapeseed oil i have . i might just use grapeseed oil, oh well grapeseed oil is cheaper anyway
 
I actually found the shea moisture tahitian noni line at my target! It was off in its own little display with small travel size bottles of the pink and yellow hair lines, as well as travel size body washes/lotions. I thought that was cute.

Anyway I got the hair masque. It smells like something I've used before..but I can't place it.
 
I didn't even realize I was at SL on my to APL. If I'd paid attention I would've joined the APL 2014 challenge. :lol:

This has got to be the nastiest DC I've ever encountered. Not only did it turn my hair into a hardened grease ball, but that BS clogged up my drain! I wish I could punch the vendor several times in the throat.

I laughed so hard at the bold!!!

I'm sorry though. I had a horrible experience the first time I tried Shea Moisture. I don't think I've ever shampooed and DC'd my hair so much in my life :nono:. I even walked into one of those white hair salons, desperate to find something that would help. Took a week for my hair to get back to normal. People need to stop making conditioners that are predominately butters unless they want everyone to be walking around with a greasy head :evil:.

It’s called Happy Nappy Honey Pink Sugar Hibiscus DC. I’ve never had a DC do that. I kept rinsing and rinsing and rinsing my hair in disbelief because it felt like I had rolled around in a vat of used motor oil. I could NOT remove that stuff until I increased the water temperature to an “Am I Getting Third Degree Burns On My Back?” type of hotness and dumped an obscene amount of Elucence Acidifying Shampoo on my head. Even after scrubbing three times my hair still felt oily, so I blindly reached my hand out of the shower and grabbed a conditioner to cowash with. I was afraid to move since the floor of the tub was so slick with grease (I did NOT want some paramedic putting a video of my naked, broken and bruised blubbery body on youtube:lol:). My hand came in contact with Hairveda’s Acai Berry conditioner, which was able to take care of the rest of the oiliness. I also had to pour 4 big old school collard green-making pots of boiling water down the drain to flush out the grease.

I’ve been traumatized!

OMG! I am so glad you wrote this. I ordered the same DC from her. I am going to toss it. I have old as* pipes in my house. Getting that crap out would probably mean a replacement job. I will just eat the loss. When will I learn to avoid these Indy kitchen chemists.
 
My Accidental Steam Treatment:

Last night I DC my hair; after my final rinse instead of going straight into styling the hair I was busy cleaning up after dinner. So what I did was section the hair in four and put a plastic cap over my head and wrap a towel like turban style. (No product was added to my hair)
About an hour later when I was ready to twist up hair, I took the cap off and my hair was crazy soft and manageable....my hair felt like it had been steamed. Soooo, I think I'm going to do this technique from now on. Section and detangle my hair after the final rinse; clamp up the sections; throw on a plastic cap and let my hair sit there, like a mini GHE session.

That experience made my night! lol
 
I have a confession to make.

my hair is a hot mess right now and it's completely my fault.

I haven't washed in almost 3 weeks, which would be forgivable if I were weeks into my stretch, but I have slick straight hair right now and it feels pretty greasy. my scalp is ridden with dandruff (gross, I know) and the only reason it doesn't smell is because I've been disguising any odor with dry shampoo. I combed through my hair last night ( hadn't done that in awhile either) and I had a whole party of shed hairs up in there. talk about neglect. the only maintenance I've done is moisturizing and sealing my ends nightly and ponytailing during the day. I will give my hair a nice wash and deep conditioning session tomorrow asap!

Forgive me, I've been on a throat-punching spree lately. I'm working on it.:lol:

Try using it as a body butter or a light sealant before you toss it. I rubbed a bit of it on my hands after washing the dishes and it did a pretty nice job of moisturizing them.
 
i am craving some carol's daughter for some reason. i used margarite's whatever and some peppermint oil years ago and my hair felt dried out and i took it back but i want to retry that brand again. i wish target bad the by 15 dollars worth of beauty and get a 10 dollar gist card again . i seriously don't take advantage of deals. i missed the sally's buy one get one free off of hair products because i was being stubborn smh
 
Spent a whole week so far with a Dominican blowout. This is my first time with straight hair since going natural. The difference is amazing. First off it feels good to run a comb smoothly through with no issues. To feel my head lol. I also noticed how my hair has more thickness and bounce than when I did blowouts on relaxed hair. Could do this more often but I know it will be a mess between regular working out and summer heat. *sigh*

Here's another YTer that has healthy hair practices that uses a weave regimen to grow/retain their hair length. Kibibihair

Also, her stylist is Reniece who has "growing hands!"

I was going to compliment a girl's hair at the bus stop, until I realized that she was there with her overbearing girlfriend. LOL! Never mind.
 
These Havana Twists need to come out! They held up well until I hit the month mark. They still LOOK nice, but my own hair is coming out the twist and getting tangled. I don't want to pay to get a touch up, and I don't have the time or the patience to learn how to re-do them myself.
 
I was thinking of getting a buzz cut for my 30th birthday and then as the hair grows out transitioning into locs. I feel I need a drastic change to shake things up a bit.

I barely have any hair and I want to try L'Oreal's new Oleo-something line :lol:. It's going to take me a long time to go through all these products I have under my sink :rolleyes:.

I was thinking about this as a possibility too :grin:. I wanted to start locs before, but then I learned that all of the length you have vanishes while the locs condense. Locs have horrible shrinkage initially, but it wouldn't be so bad if your hair's short to begin with.
