Easy Fix: How To Relieve An Itchy Scalp | I Made Myself Bleed smh

[@n.sue-ann5527]

The itch in my braids brought me here 😩😩 I want to take them out and it’s only been a week😩😩

[@crowned_in_beauty]

We in this together sis! Everything was fine yesterday and I took out my scarf this morning and was shook by all the flaky skin!! I don’t thing the hair is my problem the lady braided them wayyyy to tight

[@n.sue-ann5527]

Crowned In Beauty sis 😩 yes it’s like mine . I keep saying flaking. What did you use to remove the flake sis Z

[@crowned_in_beauty]

N.Sue-Ann I gently lifted the flakes off my scalp so I don’t mess up the braids and applied sulfur-8 to my scalp! Sulfur-8 literally saved my life and reputation lol. I apply it two times a week and I apply Jamaican Mango&Lime island oil ones a week

[@kidsdianaandromashow8698]

I have exactly the same experience here

[@le_sloth]

OMG!!! me too...and I'm DYING rn😭😭😭

[@_khoudiaa]

i don't know why people don't talk about itchy scalp that much. it happens to so many people including me.

[@claudiacastrillon4440]

Even if u dip it in vinager?

[@cyxiy4239]

They talk about it so people can know how to fix it

[@amazingjay6044]

I just found out it's because of what the manufacturers coat the extension hair with. This substance causes unbearable itching. I'm about to write to manufacturers. We all should. Make them re think the product. It's harming people. Not okay!

[@amazingjay6044]

Additionally, I DONT WANT TO HAVE TO DIP/RINSE THE HAIR in vinegar solution every time. I tried that last night and I know that's not me. I don't have the patience to be washing all those packs of hair each time. Naaaaa Bruv! 😾

Lol omg at night I be beatin my head and want to scream 😂😂 so I've learned I need to clean the chemical off the braiding hair first with apple cider vinegar or vinegar best tip I learned becauseeeee I used to dig in my scalp trying so hard not to ruin my work I spent a whole day on

[@avasd59]

This makes sense! I usually braid my own hair but decided to go to 1 of the African shops. When I braid it myself....no itching. I'm literally moisturizing twice a day to relieve the itch. It makes sense that if they are treating the hair it may be with something I'm allergic to. Thanks for the post

[@jaswllc]

I found the easiest way to wash braids were with a 99 cent pair of stockings. Girl, I know, but trust me. Cut the legs off of the stockings and split your braids into two sections. Put the seat of the stockings over your head and used diluted shampoo to cleanse your scalp. The stockings keep your roots in place and helps the hair not curl up too much. Leave it there til your hair dries if you can and you're good to go. It works every time.

[@Nae2Curly]

GIrlllllllllll. Now this is a great tip! Thank you for sharing :)

[@jaswllc]

Janae Mason you're welcome girl! Oh yeah, I also kept those cut off legs as a "loc sock" kind of. The longer the braids are the harder they are to sleep with. When it was time for bed, I just placed the braids in loose/low pigtails and used the cut off legs to keep them together with a hair tie. Less stress on your roots and it's easier to lay on your back or side without the hair being everywhere. Cheap and multiple uses for the win

[@trinityasabea]

Jas W wow for real the best tip to cleanse scalp and not mess up the braids. God bless you girl.

[@Jayariee]

She could also do a acv rinse using this method. I think for alot of us why braids are itchy the first few weeks is the dye. The acv tends not to let my hair frizz as much

[@RheRheSmily]

So to be clean you put the shampoo On top of the stockings?

Try soaking your hair in warm water with a mix of apple cider vinegar

[@ashuraramadhan2606]

My Family Fixed This - Naturally: 1. Wash your hair with Sulfur 8 shampoo, using a silicone scalp massager. 2. Let it dry naturally. Be sure to blot the excess water with a brand new towel or one that you have never used on your hair / body before. 3. That night, SMOTHER your entire head with Vaseline - wrap it in a scarf and sleep that way. Why? The easiest, most 'natural' way to kill the yeast / candida and anything else that is living on your scalp which is what is probably happening - in a matter of minutes - is to simply smother it - NO OXYGEN means no ability to breathe, thrive, grow or survive. 4. The next morning, mix bentonite clay, apple cider vinegar and tea tree oil (whatever ration you want...it really does not matter) into a bowl (do not use a metal spoon when mixing clay - use plastic or wood only). SMOTHER your scalp with the clay, let it dry then just sit under the shower and let it rinse off until the water runs clear. You may need to do this a few times to get all of the Vaseline off of your scalp and hair - but you'll see that you've just 'killed' the yeast when not one hair follicle itches. Repeat weekly, or as often as you need to and be sure to hot wash with white vinegar and baking soda all of the bedding, towels, clothing and anything else that it may be living on. (fyi never mix bleach and vinegar). We tried this - and it literally solved the problem overnight. If there is a new issue we just repeat the process. Good luck and God Bless!

[@lovethestage]

@@gailbail060 Because you probably have a lot of bacteria and candida on your scalp. The bonnet creates a heat barrier, and the raised temperature causes the bacteria to stir. Below I've replied with the remedy passed down from my grandmother that saved our family for decades from this problem naturally - I'll repost it again here for you in the next reply. Please give it a try - if it does not work you'll only have invested in a few natural products that can be repurposed and if it does help you, you'll have solved your problem naturally for life.

My braids are a week old now. I've been oiling my scalp twice a day and spraying my hair with oil sheen. This will be the last time I get braids unless I put them in myself. Not sure what they are using in the hair in the shops but it itches your scalp like crazy

[@C.C-e4n]

Elizabeth Cook Then the itching could be from dry scalp issues, which is pretty normal in protective styles because the scalp is always exposed and not covered up like when you have your natural hair out. But you might also be allergic to the braiding hair itself. Try yarn braids. Best decision I've ever made. My braids look more even, because the yarn is so much easier to work with than nasty ass extension hair, it's lightweight, my hair feels super moisturized when I take the braids out after one or even _two_ months, AND there's no itching from the hair at all. Only itching I get is if my scalp is dry, like I said, in which case I just use some diy scalp oil to moisturize my scalp and hair. And I spray my braids every single day with some water mixed with cheap store bought conditioner and peppermint oil. My hair has never felt healthier. Try it, I can vouch for this 100%!

I learned that scalp braiding with braiding hair does that to me. No matter the brand (expensive or cheap) my scalp does the same thing!

Also it could be the tightness and pressure they use when doing your hair.

Sis take these braids out!

[@pmerancier]

It's Lexsisss I think she thinking about the money, I too wouldn't take em down😂poor thang

[@Nae2Curly]

lmbo!!!

[@Nae2Curly]

Sis. They are coming out very soon like in the next two days lol

[@gurlwkinkscurls8146]

Please do Lol. I had this happen and my scalp had scars. I had to take them out!!!

[@jadalawrence6988]

I have dandruff, and I love like wearing box braids or Faux locks as protective styles for my hair but in like a week or so my hair starts itching and flaking out. I've learned that witch hazel which I basically just buy at the dollar store or TJ Maxx or anywhere you can get your hands on it.If you put it in the fridge for like a couple minutes and then you take it out and just dab it on the affected area it feels so good afterwards.

[@hannajoy7005]

This is my first time getting braids. It’s been 3 days. I used apple cider vinegar, washed my scalp, put oil in and it still itches. Probably going to take them out tonight because I can’t bear it and I’m afraid of chemical burn and damage to my scalp and my curls 😭😭

[@mizzphitzbeta]

My scalp is itching really badly this time and it’s probably because I didn’t oil the braids/ my scalp but it’s never been this itchy before ughh

[@KIWIKIMI14]

Got my braids 2 weeks ago. Itching ever since. This video saved me lmao.

[@thestruggleismylife]

I like how i look with braids but the itching is just too much

[@Rukii.Aarttt]

I just got my hair done a few days ago and when I tell you I’m ready to take them out! My hair is itching so bad to the point I can’t sleep now I have scabs on my scalp from scratching and I have tiny bumps I’m taking this out I know I payed so much but I don’t want my hair to fall out 😩😢 never getting braids again ever!

[@akialynem8653]

Girlllllll , I feel your pain !!!!! I’m going threw the same thing right now . This is the first time I used weave in my braids and I’m miserable. I can’t sleep at all . I think the apple cider vinegar and washing my hair worked for me . Some what ! 😒

[@flip-phone_becky4655]

Sulfur 8 works for me.

[@MsNikki527]

It’s this hair style !!! I’ve had individuals and no itch but this hairstyle got me itching everyday I put oil all the time

[@roxiheart2503]

Sistahs! I believe the itching from extension hair is simply our bodies telling us that it should not be in our heads. When you think about, where is it really coming from and can you trust to the source, you rethink it. I'm done with putting extensions in my hair!

[@its.dayday__]

Roxi Heart I think it depends on the person. I don't have an itchy scalp at all. It also isn't dry. Whenever I put in braiding happy, it never itches

[@Jayariee]

Or SIMPLY the dye used on the braids which can easily be washed off with a acv rinse or shampoo. Where do you think the hair comes from?

[@inactiveme32]

Yep after all these year I found out I was actually allergic to weaves. My itching would be sooooooooo bad! I'd bleed and scab up. It was terrible.

[@moniquecambero7635]

Roxi Heart I've been having severe itching for the past 3 weeks or more. NEVER experienced that before, NOT to that degree. No weave, no braids here, ALL natural kinky 4c, lol. But I do like braids, and the last time I left it in for 4 months. Believe it or not, I've NEVER had an itching problem. But hey.,I guess you live and learn.

[@SuperGeekalicious]

Sistahs! Itching is from the chemicals that they put in the extensions! Soak your extensions with vinegar and water for about half an hour then wash it out all the chemicals. The itching will stop!

[@kattmilk]

You couldn't do faux crotchet locs. These things itch so bad, I almost gave myself a lobotomy! Thankfully I found out about Cantu ACV Rinse. It made a WORLD of difference! I follow up with Doo-Grow Anti-itch oil. I haven't tried the other Cantu ACV Refresh line products yet, but I've heard mostly good reviews, especially for the Dry Co-wash.

[@whitneyc5909]

I felt that “ohhh JESUS” when you sprayed your hair lol

[@madissynrose8633]

I got some aloe vera juice and apple cider vinegar put it in a spray bottle.. shook it up and sprayed it on the roots.... so great worked well.... stopped itching

[@alldatzyall7356]

Did you do it half and half? I believe that would work well for detangling as well

[@phomolotjie9755]

You know it’s also nice when someone touches your hair and I’d be like please rub your fingers in between the braids sooo soothing! I’m watching this & it’s midnight I cannot at this point!!!🥴

[@danielleh.3547]

This was so honest! Thank you for sharing!

[@Nae2Curly]

Danni Dee Hey girl! Yea I almost lost it! Lol thanks for watching love

[@stevenhowerton8291]

OMG yesssssss Ugh I feel your pain girl Got my hair braided in feed ins last Friday and was ready to take these braids out the next day The struggle is real the itching and the burning like whyyyyyyy lol Thanks for the video

[@lovethestage]

My Family Fixed This - Naturally: 1. Wash your hair with Sulfur 8 shampoo, using a silicone scalp massager. 2. Let it dry naturally. Be sure to blot the excess water with a brand new towel or one that you have never used on your hair / body before. 3. That night, SMOTHER your entire head with Vaseline - wrap it in a scarf and sleep that way. Why? The easiest, most 'natural' way to kill the yeast / candida and anything else that is living on your scalp which is what is probably happening - in a matter of minutes - is to simply smother it - NO OXYGEN means no ability to breathe, thrive, grow or survive. 4. The next morning, mix bentonite clay, apple cider vinegar and tea tree oil (whatever ration you want...it really does not matter) into a bowl (do not use a metal spoon when mixing clay - use plastic or wood only). SMOTHER your scalp with the clay, let it dry then just sit under the shower and let it rinse off until the water runs clear. You may need to do this a few times to get all of the Vaseline off of your scalp and hair - but you'll see that you've just 'killed' the yeast when not one hair follicle itches. Repeat weekly, or as often as you need to and be sure to hot wash with white vinegar and baking soda all of the bedding, towels, clothing and anything else that it may be living on. (fyi never mix bleach and vinegar). We tried this - and it literally solved the problem overnight. If there is a new issue we just repeat the process. Good luck and God Bless!

[@dirtydiana3]

I feel like ants r crawling on my head

[@Jujucsc]

I soak my head on a bowl with straight ACV for about 30min twice a month, rinse with water then rinse with shampoo essential oil and conditioner

[@penelope5]

Lordy I’m currently soaking in apple cider vinegar, my box braids were UNBEARABLY, UNBELIEVABLY itchy. I be never felt an itch like that before I was literally about to cry in frustration 😭 let’s hope this works. I’ve only had them in for 6 days. It’s also my first time ever getting box braids, my niece did them for me

[@carmelapalmer5062]

Prep your scalp by washing with an anti itch or dandruff shampoo, and a vinegar rinse before installing your braids. That makes all the difference. If you have sehborric dermatitis use medixated braid spray. I'd advice away from coconut, olive oil and shea butter. These oils aggravate the symptoms of seborrhic dermatitis.

[@LaLabutterfly]

Coconut oil is my swoooooorrrrnnnn ENEMY!!!

[@cookwithdeedee_]

I concluded some years ago that doing braids is not for me, even when I soak it in ACV. Ironically, I do braids for people too! But my hair itches less when it does not have products in my hair but can get dry. Some people are so lucky - they can do anything and their scalp isn't sensitive. I always shampoo my natural hair and do the ACV rinse! It used to be torture

[@HighClassHuman]

When my hair itches and I can't get in between to scratch it. I get a long bobby pin-open it and use it to scratch with LÖL! I leave it in my hair and hide it under a braid for quick usage.

[@niyangelewing9948]

I am going through this right now about to pass out. I just got my hair done a week ago and 2 days now. Omg!! Itchy burning. Thats why I am watching this now..

[@natajahsmith1834]

You are so pretty!!

[@40cinamon]

I was told that the dam dyes they put in braid hair when they make it caused the itching. I believe it's true something they process the braid hair with seeps in your pores causing the itch and when you add oils or grease makes it worse once it dries out

[@jtmoney606]

Your a beautiful black queen and your hair is absolutely amazing 😍👸🏿

[@nikkigee9747]

I usually grease my scalp with raw Shea Butter or Sulfur 8 grease to kill the itch 😉

[@mustafahall3865]

You should try a shampoo brush. It really helps to break up that dandruff and deeply clean your scalp. It has really helped me. I used to have a burning scalp too, but this brush has helped me sooooo much. Try it!

[@flip-phone_becky4655]

Sulfur 8.

[@dakweenlyrics409]

Ive never had an itchy scalp in box braids, all i do is moistize my hair with rice water and pepermint oil and some hair food and cantu, once a week.

[@mqgriffi]

Another tip is to soak the braid hair in ACV/water and let it dry before use. Hope that helps. This video is helpful. I know how that itchy scalp feels all too well lol

[@jammyd101]

I just got braids for the first time and my scalp is so itchy. I already want to take them out and it hasn't even been a full week yet lmaooo. Only thing keeping me going is the positive feedback I'm getting about my new hairstyle lolll.

[@sassynj1264]

oh Jesus she said when she sprayed her scalp😭😭😭... I have eczema &Girl just be glad you don't have to deal with that ugh😢.....I know the video is about braids&all... But I don't wear braids or weave.. Just letting you know I can relate.... Your beautiful btw😍

[@lisapierce737]

Oh my gosh girl I know the feeling. Use head and shoulders clinical shampoo and they have a leave in as well and when I say that it's good, I mean soooooooo good that you would leave that style for 3 months....it's soooo awesome 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@204dimples]

The hair has a coating on it that causes it to itch. If you soak the hair with vinegar and water you would see a film in the water. That is the film that comes off the hair that coats it. I soak all my braiding hair before using it you could have mixed the water and vinegar in a pitcher and let it run through your hair. I hope it helped. I love your videos.😘

[@pattibarnett9367]

Its 11:49pm and my head is itching like crazy which lead me to your video and I just got my hair done today. I really don’t remember the itching part of getting braids and I get (box) braids ever 3 months for the past two years. I was ready to cry

[@chicagogirl14]

Aww boo, once I saw the braiding video and the hair being took straight out of the pack I was cringing, but I thought maybe you would be ok. I'm glad you got everything under control though! Getting tho bigger braids was helpful and still looks super cute.

[@Nae2Curly]

Girl . I got the braids like before I came to the salon. I knew better 🤦🏾‍♂️ smh. I messed up

[@sonatural100ify]

Peppermint n Tea Tree Oil helps alot for me everyone's different

[@darlenewolford9807]

Thanks So Much for the tips...My Scalp itches so badly every time I get braids; I was beginning to think there was something wrong with Me! I will be getting these products ASAP. My scalp is itching as we speak. Also My daughter's name is Janae as well!

[@mayadorsey2500]

I have the same hairstyle and I always have to itch the back of my head next thing I fell back there my hair is wet back there and I just continue watching pbs kids
