“It’s not gon breathe” Can you talk more about how you maintain scalp health with a style for 4 months? Mine itches even after I wash it, I have to really put some love into my scalp, it easily becomes irritated.

Haha! Yea, I meant that I'm keeping my hair in the protective style for my goals and mental well-being. I used to have a pretty itchy scalp as well, but consistent weekly oiling (preping with warm water) helped. Now, the itching is minimal/moderate. My sensitive scalp prefers simplicity, so I avoid products with extra ingredients and stray away from adding my leavr ins to my scalp when moisturizing. Monthly cleanse with Suave Peppermint Shampoo works great - keeping it simple, as certain shampoos like creme of nature and shea moisture didn't work with me.

Before I wash my hair I take a fine comb and gently scratch my dry scalp and get any buildup or dry skin off my scalp. It definitely helps with the washing process because the shampoo only has to deal with my residual buildup or dandruff, it also feels nice and stimulating.
