WHY dang it!!!!????

I was all ready for my relaxer on Wednesday. I couldn't wait to go since I decided I'm gonna stay relaxed for a while. Then I went to a party last night. I was dancing and having fun and I was happy! Then I got home and went to sleep. When I got up in the morning I had a bit of an itch. So I gave my scalp a little massage. But the itching got worse and worse. Suddenly, I couldn't keep my nails out of my scalp! I sweat a lot at the party when I was dancing so much and any type of moisture other than conditioner, water, and sebum, makes my scalp ITCHY!!!! Now it's very sore and very itchy and I'm about to go wash it and I'm definitely not going to be able to get a relaxer for 2 weeks while my scalp heals. Anyone else have this problem? What can I do so that I don't have to wait another 2 weeks?

lol, it always seems like my scalp wants to itch when I'm ready to relax.
I usually, clarify my hair 2 to 3 days before and then put product ONLY on my ends, the only downside is that my hair has to look rough for a couple days....but nothing a phony pony and scarf can't fix.

Also, I put a base my scalp, with some vaseline that I've added pepperment oil to, the night before, or if my scalp is really itchy I base the night I wash, and then right before I relax as usual. The peppermint oil is very refreshing.

Thanks for the advice! I'll try basing my scalp the night before. I still have a couple of days.

I really hate that! My scalp is fine until the night before a relaxer. I agree with Rinygirl, try basing your scalp the night before. Good luck!

You're so cute! Too funny. I feel ya, though!

I work out, and whenever I have a relaxer coming up, I don't work out several days beforehand, so I can avoid having my scalp turn into an itchy mess, lol! In the future, you should avoid all dancing and other sweaty activities in the days leading to a relaxer.
