No longer using oil on my locs/scalp was the best decision I could’ve ever made for my hair.
I have ALWAYS struggled with a severely itchy scalp, and getting locs was no different. My scalp would Itch. Like. Crazy. I would literally be scratching scabs into my hair which I know had to be damaging my hair follicles. I would moisturize my hair and seal it with oil but that never really seemed to do much to be honest, sometimes my scalp felt WORSE. I just thought it could be a scalp condition where I probably need to see a dermatologist about. I recently came across a video where the person said they no longer use oil in their hair/locs and it completely changed their scalp so i decided to put the oils down and oh my goodness, it’s been about a week maybe longer and outside of my scalp itching a little after working out, IT DOES NOT ITCH LIKE CRAZY ANYMORE and my hair feels way more moisturized!!!!!!! I say this to say if your hair and scalp feels super dry alllll the time no matter what you do and your scalp is constantly inflamed, it could be that oil is causing it and it may not be for you. I know this will not apply to everyone so please be mindful of that but just telling my experience. Happy Holidays! 🥰🎄
