I'm a chronic dandruff sufferer finally got relief from essential oils. neem, tea tree, garlic, rosemary, etc work really well and u don't have to use alot. my scalp was worse than his (if u can believe it ) now I hardly ever have flakes or itching.

I take about 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and warm it so its liquid. Then i add the essential oils about 10 drops of each. Stir well and let it resolidify. I rub my fingertips on the resolidified mixture, then massage into my scalp nightly. I wash weekly, and started to see dramatic decrease i dandruff in the first month.

+Marlaina LuvsLocs Yesss! I'm sure your scalp feels great afterwards!

TRY THIS: My Family Fixed SEVERLY ITCHY SCALP ISSUES - Naturally: 1. Wash your hair with Sulfur 8 shampoo, using a silicone scalp massager. 2. Let it dry naturally. Be sure to blot the excess water with a brand new towel or one that you have never used on your hair / body before. 3. That night, SMOTHER your entire head with Vaseline - wrap it in a scarf and sleep that way. Why? The easiest, most 'natural' way to kill the yeast / candida and anything else that is living on your scalp which is what is probably happening - in a matter of minutes - is to simply smother it - NO OXYGEN means no ability to breathe, thrive, grow or survive. 4. The next morning, mix bentonite clay, apple cider vinegar and tea tree oil (whatever ration you want...it really does not matter) into a bowl (do not use a metal spoon when mixing clay - use plastic or wood only). SMOTHER your scalp with the clay, let it dry then just sit under the shower and let it rinse off until the water runs clear. You may need to do this a few times to get all of the Vaseline off of your scalp and hair - but you'll see that you've just 'killed' the yeast when not one hair follicle itches. Repeat weekly, or as often as you need to and be sure to hot wash with white vinegar and baking soda all of the bedding, towels, clothing and anything else that it may be living on. (fyi never mix bleach and vinegar). We tried this - and it literally solved the problem overnight. If there is a new issue we just repeat the process. Good luck everyone, and God Bless!

Where can I get that comb from!?

I'm happy to see a video on this topic!! I have two strand twists in my hair and plan to semi- freeform them. but rn in struggling with dandruff is their a specific type you recommend or could it be just any ol shampoo? also I noticed that you were using a pink extra wide tooth comb us that recommend to prevent unraveling? once again, thanks for the video!

+Donovan Ingram The type of shampoo definitely matters. You need to use a clarifying shampoo and if it is really bad a Medicare shampoo as well. I shampoo locs using the Scalp Revitalizer to prevent unraveling. They will be available in my shop starting in January.

This was extremely informative. Thank you so much for sharing! I have found that I have to wash my scalp at *least* once a week. I am very active and I sweat through my scalp. If I don't wash often, my scalp starts to get itchy and I get patches of dandruff. It's gross. Haha!

Loccrush recommends two products for seb. dermatitis but I use it for dandruff also just to prepare my scalp for locs. My scalp is so much better.

Where can I purchase the shampoo/cleanser? I live in AZ where it's super dry AND I have hard water, too, so I wonder if that also contributes to the massive amount of dandruff I have.

Hey you should try doing a AVC rinse every hair wash day until you see great results with less results and psoriasis I have dandruff and a lil bit of psoriasis I done that and it worked like a charm now i just do a AVC rinse every 6 months, I also have locs as well

I have straight hair dreads and I washed them bc I had so much build up and they undid I was very upset so I did them again and I’m getting a lot of dandruff again it’s only been 2 days idk what to do

So I can wash my hair and it won't get undone if I don't have jel

That microscope is amazing

What was the type of comb you used to scratch the dandruff off of your client's scalp? And how long did he wait to wash his starter locs?

A world of difference after that wash!! Deets on the (washing comb?) used please?

When I see people wearing dreads I just wonder how much time they have put into having them looking so good. While on KZread their are some that has so much dandruff how do you take care of them when you have to go to work

Can you tell us what you actually did, like what shampoo you used??

Did you use a hair pick to clean his scalp?? My scalp is as bad as his and nothing seems to work lol

2 1/2 weeks in mine looked something like this and the itching was sooo bad , and my daughter's car broke down and she couldn't come fix my hair....so I took them out! I was wary about trying again because the itching was so bad but now that I know I can wash it I will try again.

I suffer from seborrheic dermatitis and I'm so nervous to start my journey.

I have horrible dandruff and longer afro hair. It started to create patches that lifted up off my scalp and I work in a corporate office and didn't want to appear unpleasant or hygiene inadequate. So I washed my hair and all my starter locs came apart. I even tried just working the shampoo/conditioner in from the root still just lifted. I want locs so bad, but idk how to care for it with my dandruff. Just going to start over and try again.

Would you do the same thing for mature locs? I have to wash my locs almost every week, and I still flake a little bit. I 'm not sure what to wash with. Also, what are your thoughts about chia seed oil for hair?

What was the scratchy thing

Oh my gosh! I dunno if it's dandruff or dry scalp I get, but once I start scratching and seeing all those snowflakes it's hard to stop. I wanna scratch and brush it all out. But I must stop for sake of longevity of my locs 😞

@deariagolden4548

Жыл бұрын

Let it grow. I had shoulder length natural hair but when my traditional locs were started using the palm roll method, they shrunk to mid-ears. Nine years plus later and they now touch my butt. I have very coily natural hair but I think shrinkage is just a part of the process. Maybe starting with two-strand twists might result in retaining more length but IDK. BTW I am not a loctician giving professional advice, only someone with mature locs.

I’m still worried abt it unraveling

how the hell did his coils not unravel??? i feel like mine would so im scared to wash i wait till my loctician does it but every 4 weeks is too long

You can use a tooth brush and carefully scrub

Not spost to wash for few months ... FYI to each his own but when I started my locks the last two times that a grew past my chest I just thug mine out it will get flaky I itch mine everyday (I'm starting new ones) but it will build up but in a few months when you're hair start to lock they are not super tight so when you wash them before your retwist all the flakes or most of them will come out it's just part of the journey

Damn I don’t know what to do. I just washed my hair and I have more dandruff then I did before washing it. I’m just goin throw some oil on it and hope for the best bc I can’t rn 😩

+Muriel Rose You should really try to avoid using nails to scratch the scalp, it can be too abrasive and do more harm than good. A normal Afro pick might work, I've never tried. I've only ever used the ergonomically designed Scalp Revitalizer because it contours to the scalp of the head and doesn't lift the locs up a the root.

So after watching this video i feel a little more relieved. My husband keeps telling me that i need to just leave my locs alone, don't scratch and that i need to wash them like every 4 weeks! He's had his locs for 6 years, I'm 2 months in. But i have eczema in my scalp and it's been extremely hard not to scratch or wash my scalp/clean my locs. So should I wash my hair more frequently?
