Urghhhh! I itch!! ORS Olive Oil

[PittiPat]

My scalp is itching like crazy right now. I did an ORS Olive Oil (no lye, regular strengh) touch up last night after a few months of stretching. About an hour ago, my scalp started itching like crazy. Besides washing it again when I get home, what else should I do?

I would wash again because if you are itching, it could be a reaction to the chemical. Wash again with neutralizing shampoo.

Thank you for your response, Gymfreak. I'll do that.

Let me know how it works out.

I used this relaxer and it made my scalp really itchy too. My scalp flaked a whole bunch too. I used T-Gel shampoo and Qhemet Alma and Olive Heavy Cream on my scalp and it was just like new. No flakes, no itching.

OMG this happened to me too! After switching to no-lye with ORS the next few days, I had flaking like never before (big huges flakes-- and I never get flakes or dandruff) and itching like mad! I even started a thread. There were few responses so I figured no one else had this happen to them with ORS-- esp. since it gets such rave reviews. Anyway, on top of it, my hair was soooo dry. I dropped that relaxer like a bad habit. ORS IS NOT FOR ME.

I didn't notice this for me, just really dry hair.

Suprising though, because my scalp flames up when anything but castor oil or vaseline touches it.

Picky thing it is.

I'll give this a try tonight, since I'm still itching a little.

Thanks y'all.
