I have afro hair, and am having problems with itcy scalp, it's not dandruff, but it itches like

ok, my hair itself is fairly healthy, I maintain it and sometimes have it in braids, but recently, it's gone crazy. I wash my hair and cornrow it (myself) and within a week, it's already itchy, which normally means that my scalp is dry, but when I moisturise it, it REALLY goes crazy and itches like mad, and I end up with some parts of my scalp feeling sore, I wash it, and everything is alright again till I oil it again (which I have to do for afro hair) so am stuck in a catch 22. I have tried deep conditioning with hair mayonnaise, and also MR MIRACLE'S medicated conditioning treatment but that hasn't helped much cos I think the problem is beyond that. any advice on what I should do would be welcomed, I am losing my patience slowly with it!!!!!!!!

See your doctor, applying all those different products can lead to sensitization, particularly after having braids which may have been too tight.

when you braid it apply almond oil on hair and scalp.this will help the itching, apply it every day cause the cold will affect hair and scalp.make sure all of the hair mayonasie is rinsed out.

Hi. I take it that you have natural hair. If so , good! What are you using to oil your hair? I only use pure oils - a combination of coconut, rosemary and tea tree. Also, Vitamin E is good for itchy scalp. How often are you oiling your hair? Afro hair really only needs oiling once a week. Make sure that you drink 2 litres of water a day and how is your diet? You need to look at that as well if if isn't healthy.
