oiling scalp for dandruff

In hair care, recommendations on 02.28.09 at 3:44 pm

if you’re a regular reader, it’s obvious that i’ve had issues with my dry, itchy scalp and dandruff. a friend of mine and i were talking about this a little bit ago, and she suggested oiling my scalp and not washing it too much. that’s when it hit me, i would hardly ever moisturize my scalp. so i’ve been doing so with olive oil and my qhemet biologics heavy cream for the past month. i’ll massage and moisturize my scalp whether i’m co-washing or shampooing. it has definitely made a huge difference, and i recommend this to anyone who is dealing with the same issue. it’s easy to forget if you tend to be on the go.. especially if you co-wash once every few days, quickly moisturize your hair, and go to work/school. but just taking that extra one or two minutes can save you a lot of frustration, embarrassment, and irritation!

don’t use too much oil, a quarter sized amount will do for a large portion of your head.
