Afro Scalp Cleansing

Afro Scalp Cleansing – So many Black women suffer from a dry flaky and often itchy scalp. This is because of a number of reasons which include chemical damage to the skin, Heat damage from straighteners, the use of oils and other such products that are apparently used to moisten the scalp. Did you know that leaving oil on the skin will in many cases cause scalp issues?

How do you look after your scalp?

So I would ask the question what do you do to look after your scalp and is it working? As you are seeking advice I would suggest this is still an issue for you. So here are a few ideas that may help. Please understand that when a scalp whether an Afroid, Caucasoid or Mongaloid becomes irritated, inflamed and dry the chances are that the the cell process has sped up rapidly and the likely hood of a shampoo or “treatment” from you hairdresser actually solving the problem is low. 

I don’t have any Crusting or Dandruff

So you don’t have any flaking skin? Do you use Oil? Most Afro women use oils to moisten the skin. Do you know what your skin would be like without oil? Perhaps you should try and see?. The oil will mask the dryness and it will probably dry out the skin further in the long term contrary to belief. Yes I’ve heard it a 1000 times that its what Black people do to moisten their hair. Yes you can use certain oils on the hair which will offer some added stability and temporary strength and moisture to the hair shaft. But don’t use it not the skin.
