this morning i woke up inspired to do another post after i washed my hair. a friend of mine asked, "what should i use for my dry scalp?"...and this i can answer. of course everyone is DIFFERENT! some of us have dry skin vs oily skin. and what more is your scalp than skin? so my answer to my friend's question is...just alleviate the dryness at the source.
so with that being said...find an oil to massage your scalp with every night, or even if you want to, in the morning AND at night. not only will this help with dryness but it will stimulate your scalp as well...and it tends to be very relaxing! i have three favorite oils:
- Aphogee Essential Hair Oil
- Organic Root Stimulator Oil
- Doo Gro Oil (any formula)
**all of these products can be found at a local beauty supply store...like Hair Crown lol
I would also recommend washing your hair like once a week...simply because when you wash you hair, you're stripping your hair of natural oils that it already has. and if you have dry scalp...u don't want to make your scalp even more dry..get where I'm going? there are shampoos and conditioners that help combat dry scalp as well:
-KeraCare Dry and Itchy Scalp Moisturizing Shampoo/Conditioner (Sally's, Hair Crown...)
-Neutrogena Triple Moisture Dry Scalp Shampoo/Conditioner (Target, ULTA)
-Garnier Fructis Dry Scalp/Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner (any drugstore)
**if I had dry scalp, i would probably go with the KeraCare because I know it caters to women of color.
NIOXIN also works well...but this would probably be for someone who has an extreme problem with dry scalp and dandruff. so i would try all other alternatives before Nioxin.
P.S.--> i heard drinking more water also helps with this, too. :)))
