medium-sized twists by 1BlessedNatural Update 2017: I've found a couple of solutions for my seborrheic dermatitis. Check out my favorite solution here !    Happy Wednesday everyone You all may know how much I struggle with dry scalp. Lately , it has been unbearable. I've found myself scratching my scalp so much that it has been scabbing over in places. Yesterday, I decided to go to the dermatologist, and she diagnosed me with Seborrheic Dermatitis. Seborrheic Dermatitis is a chronic scalp condition where your scalp overproduces oil (sebum), and becomes itchy, flaky, and red. The scales are often difficult to remove. This explains why I have a difficult time cleansing my scalp. My dermatologists stated that the condition is common, especially in African American women. She prescribed some medication in which I will need to incorporate into my hair care regimen. I will also see about continuing the use of th 100% Tea Tree oil. Much prayer will also be required :-) I wi...

Hey everyone! I have been having trouble with dry scalp and dandruff, because I haven't been using Selsun Blue. I haven't been using any type of shampoo; I've only been using my Castile soap mixture.   A while back, I bought 100% pure Tea Tree Oil from Whole Foods. It costs about $11.00 for the 2Fl Oz bottle above. I had been using the Hollywood brand, but I think the real oil is better. I researched the benefits of it, on a few websites including KinkyCoilyCurlyMe & Daily Glow . Today, I did a pre-poo with Castor Oil on my hair and the Tea Tree Oil on my scalp. I also put about 10 drops in my Castile soap mixture to cleanse my hair. It was recommended that you use the Tea Tree Oil on your scalp daily. However, the fragrance is very strong. I might try to apply it to my scalp at night. I will give you all an update soon!

We hear a lot about sulfates being bad for your hair. But, the truth is that we sometimes need to use the sulfate shampoos to remove product build up. I have a problem with dandruff, and went on the hunt for a a dandruff shampoo. Many times I would wash my hair and still have dandruff that would stay on my scalp. This would cause the conditioner to stick to the dandruff, and it would become harder to wash the conditioner out of my hair. I tried CVS brand dandruff shampoo, and it made my hair terribly dry. So,one of my friends suggested that I use Selsun Blue, and I love it! It is a medicated shampoo. It doesn't make my hair too dry. It leaves my scalp clean and dandruff free. I have learned that sulfates are not automatically my enemy lol. It matters how you handle your hair during the wash and after. I try not to be too rough with my hair during the wash process, especially when using a sulfate shampoo. I also make sure that I deep condition my hair by sitting under a ...
