Need help with treating dry scalp but for ethnic/black hair? My scalp is dry and patchy and tips?

Answer 1

I trick I use is to wash my hair with a dandruff shampoo like Nizoral or Head and Shoulders. Make sure you use a good conditioner, I like Tresume or Dove. Then I lightly oil my scalp with (cooking) Virgin Olive Oil. Its light on your hair so it doesn't weigh it down or give it that greasy look or feel. Also I found that using a dark color rinse (I use black) on your hair helps condition it and gives it a healthy sheen.

Well, a good product to use is Doo-gro anti-itch growth oil (it's in a small white container with a black top. Doo-grow has sulfur in it that treats this problem. My mom's head used to Flake, but she used this, and it stopped dramatically (an made her hair grow three inches). You must also realize that a lot of oil is just as bad as too little. Just use a quarter size amount to each quarter section of your hair, by rubbing your hands together, and dispersing it through that section. I also suggest washing your hair very often, like every 3 to 4 days (use nexxus therapee, keraphix, and humectress, then spray with infusium 23 before drying, then dudley's pressing oil cream to straighten hair. That is our tried and true recipe for good hair care) When shampooing Massage the scalf, don't scratch the scalp, but make sure that you are thorough!!! I don't really like putting oil right on the scalp, for the same reason you don't put oil on your face--it clogs your pores!! However, if you put it on your hair, your scalp will get condition in the process.

attempt giving your self scalp remedies with a product suggested as "ldl cholesterol" through Queen Helene. you'll get it is almost any keep that sells shampoos and conditioners. i do not love the product for deep hair conditioning, yet i love it for scalp conditioning. And universal it isn't undesirable for hair conditioning, it basically does no longer be my made from decision for deep hair conditioning. Queen Helene also makes a "ldl cholesterol and Tea Tree Shampoo"... this can be a marvelous product! Tea Tree oil is fairly solid for an aggravated, dry scalp.

A water based oil lotion moisturizes beautifully, much better than petroleum and mineral oil based moisturizers, all grease does is sit on the scalp and hair and can clog pores. I had a problem with dry scalp, what I do is after I wash my hair I put oil on it, a mixture of Olive oil, Tea Tree oil and Carrot on on my scalp and a hair creme while its still wet. And then I put hair lotion in my hair. I spray my hair every night with a liquid leave in conditioner and wear a satin cap.

Answer 5

you're suppose to grease your scalp... but i hate to do that because it takes to much time and makes my hair heavy. I use alot of conditoner when washing my hair. Also try using netrogen t-gel.Just make sure you use things that condition your hair and scalp but aren't too heavy because it will leave your hair heavy and dull. Also try Smooth n' shine conditioning gel apply it on or close to the scalp...
