My hair is dark, but it gets greasy, itchy, and dry when I dont take the time to wash it, but I only go without washing it 2 whole days throughout the entire week. Because my schedule is always busy and its always a get up and go go kind of day for me. By the time its night time I am usually dragging to stay awake, but I wind up dosing off into a deep sleep and I wake up and pretend like nothing happened. Then I carry on with my night catching up on things I havent got to do. Because of always being busy. I mean life was easier being a little kid then it is for me now being older. Because I got responsibilities and stuff I have to do as part of my daily lifestyle.

I can't remember if I asked before, or if you already did a video. my memory isn't what is used to be. HAHA But I live in Northern Indiana and staticy hair is real. I usually keep my hair in a chignon all winter because of it. If I leave it down it'll end up in the worst tangled mess. not pretty. And it can change from place to place. At home my hair might be fine but as soon as I get to work it's like I stuck my finger in an electric socket. ok, not that bad but you get my point. Any tips on how to deal with staticy hair? I also get ready for work in 15 mins time. Hence the chignon. So part of it is probably already my own fault.

Great topic and very well addressed My scalp has been driving me up the wall lately and I didn't know what to do. I looked on google and tried the baking soda past thing yesterday. Baking soda, water and olive oil (just a titch) and put it on my scalp and let it sit for half an hour or so and then washed. Relief Mind you 24 hours later it's itchy again but not as bad. Next time I do it I will skip the olive oil because my thin, fine hair became even limper than usual. Great distinction between real dandruff and dry scalp. I'd been using Nizoral (and do like it) but I realise I don't actually have dandruff. Anyway. thanks XO

So the baking soda DIY. I love the idea of treating your scalp like your face, since they can both be fairly sensitive. Baking soda has an extremely high pH (around 9, and our facial skin has a pH around 5. 5. It's recommended never to put baking soda on your face as it could disrupt your skin's natural pH and compromise your moisture barrier. My questions are 1) do you know what the pH of the scalp is, and does baking soda have the potential to compromise the scalp moisture barrier? And 2) how do you prevent baking soda from touching your forehead if you're washing your scalp with it?

I love how you cleared up the difference between dandruff and dry skin. Ive had pretty bad dandruff for years and its a pet peeve of mine that everyone thinks they have dandruff in the winter. Also if anyone actually has severe dandruff, I do highly recommend talking to your doctor or finding a dermatologist to get prescription care. It made a HUGE difference for me after trying over the counter dandruff shampoos and remedies for over five years.

Please be careful when using baking soda though It can react with some shampoos and then strip dyed hair. If you dye your hair maybe dont do this, or mix it with coconut oil or something that doesnt contain any actual soap i. e. sulfate free shampoos (look up soap cap method, its great if you actually want to remove hair color and dont mind damaging your hair, sometimes used with vigilance C instead of baking soda.

Klorane SOS peony serum is good. Its literally like water and you wonder how the hell it is going to moisturize and stop the itching but it truly does. It doesnt mess the hair up either. Another tip that might be controversial is conditioner on your scalp. Good natural ingredients with no silicones added conditioner. It works wonders. I havent experienced any negative effects. If you have dry hair and scalp that is. Thank you.

I've been so worried lately. Kids at school said I have dandruff and I freaked out. But theres deffinately a difference between actual dandruff and what I now know was just a dry scalp. I've been so self conscious about it and I hate it because my grandma is a hairdresser and she ALWAYS has to make sure I have perfect hair and this has been so stressful Anyway, I'm glad you helped out: )

I have psoriasis on my scalp and I've found something that helps bring a load of moisture back to my head. It's Lee Stafford For hair that never grows past a certain length. Not sure where else it's available (I'm in England) and I can't say I've noticed a lot of extra hair growth but it really seems to help me. Literally a godsend. That and using Lush's avo bath and dunking my scalp in.
