I figured that out when my daughter had it, and I wanted to figure it out if the same treatment would work. I heated up some olive oil, let it sit for 15 minutes, and used a toothbrush to gently lift up the flakes. Then wash and condition as usual. I was using the Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap but yeah I don't have funds like that. My scalp doesn't have flakes, and when I feel my scalp getting a little tight and itchy I "grease" my scalp using JBCO, sweet almond, rosemary and peppermint oils (sparingly). I usually only have to do this twice a week.Divafied Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07586381418226119567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152433624221846830.post-32367561374207955132010-09-18T20:19:58.778-04:002010-09-18T20:19:58.778-04:00Medicated products make it worse, @beauty.mindset....Medicated products make it worse, @beauty.mindset. I've gone that route before and they just exasperated the problem. They're also big, greasy-looking flakes. Which is why I'm thinking it's seborrhea dermatitis. <br /><br />The only products that really worked were those that were antibacterial/anti-fungal. I need to get back to using those products/ingredients more consistently again. I may just henna overnight tonight to get a head start on that. I always have clean/healthy scalp after hennaing.KPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17663912567517357721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152433624221846830.post-85464178959352722842010-09-18T10:48:50.041-04:002010-09-18T10:48:50.041-04:00Yeah it might be dandruff as you said.

Which can be dealt with my using medicated products etc.<br /><br />If the flakes are small, they appear whilst you are combing and you scalp is itchy then it probably just dry, itchy scalp. But if they are big flakes and your scalp is greasy then maybe it's dandruff (soberrhea ..).Nayomi Pennanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16342937074894569011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152433624221846830.post-21943154194453388002010-09-17T21:17:12.743-04:002010-09-17T21:17:12.743-04:00I believe I have seborrhea dermatitis(my money is ...I believe I have seborrhea dermatitis(my money is funny, so I can't afford to go to a dermatologist right now, but will in the near future). It actually was better for awhile(henna & amla treatments helped as they're antibacterial), and my hair just likes water on it, so I generally try not to go too long without cowashing. I also try to avoid products on my scalp, including most oils. If any oil goes on it, I'd use jojoba(since it mimics the natural sebum) infused with some tea tree oil.<br /><br />ACV rinses are great for balancing out the pH and normalizing the scalp, so I think tomorrow I need to pick up some more. Haven't done a rinse in a few months. That also helped me in the past. I seriously just need to go to the grocery store PERIOD!

It led to breakage. When I finally went to the dermatologist, I was diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis. I've stopped using hair products with fragrance a long time ago, but now I'm making sure to do hot oil treatments before I shampoo (and no oil on my scalp after its clean) and doing ACV rinses. So far things are looking good.NinaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06162056745369931373noreply@blogger.com
