Using natural oils during scalp massages really works in hair fall reduction. Oils such as coconut, onion, and rosemary are particularly good. I mix a few drops of rosemary oil to my liitlleextraa coconiion shampoo and hair oil set, which this really worked in getting good hair growth.

Me as a white girl, i produce a lot of sebum and since my hair is straight it’s travels through my strands with no problem, so I have to wash it everyday, otherwise it starts to look damp and greasy and it’s kinda embarrassing haha, thank the universe for dry shampoo, it has saved my ass multiple times, since I don’t always have water available to wash my head lol but yeah, sebum is grease, my natural strands benefit right away from it, but I can see how a black person with coily hair might have issues with the traveling down the strand since most of your hair defies gravity and goes up so the sebum doesn’t really travel anywhere, I think bending down and massaging your head while you finger brush your hair might help with the actual sebum dispersion

[@NullPointerException7]

Diluting the tea tree oil should be done with mineral oil, MCT oil, or squalane for severe dandruff. Those are the only oils the yeast can't feed on because mineral oil and squalane don't have triglycerides the yeast can feed on. MCT oil does have triglycerides, but their carbon chain lengths are too short for the yeast to feed on.

When I was younger, original listerine was used for dandruff. Part the hair and applied it to my scalp and waited 30 minutes before washing. Sea Breeze also worked.

[@daniellabirch2600]

Thank you so much for this video. About 20 years ago I started a natural curly hair routine where I wasn't washing a lot of the oils from my scalp, I steadily started building up a dandruff problem. My hair looked amazing but my scalp was hot mess. A friend recommended coconut oil which worked for awhile but in the long run, was making it worse. For me, I think it was oil build up on my scalp that was never getting washed off was feeding the yeast like you said. It was my husband who felt the back of my head one day and noticed that my skin was hard (gross!) but because it was underneath my hair, I never noticed this slow accumulation. Also he is lucky that after some training, I let him touch my hair! Lol! I have finally defeated my dandruff problem with the help of a scalp brush and some regular thorough cleaning along with a lot of various medicated shampoos. Luckily during the pandemic, I spend a lot of time at home and I was able to wash my hair regularly enough to get my scalp back. I never could have done it if I didn't work from home. I feel like the scalp doesn't get addressed enough. Even a lot of dermatologists don't know enough about this. The royal oils line worked great for me for awhile but I think my sensitive skin eventually started reacting to anything that gets left on the scalp for days at a time. I also got some steroidal oil from a dermatologist but it was hella expensive which just motivated me to address the "root" cause of the problem. The things that actually worked really well for me in addition to a scalp brush, is anything medicated that gets left on the scalp as a pre-treatment followed up by a well cleaning sulfate free shampoo. My favorite pre-treatment is the Davines Purifying Gel. Now that my scalp is back to being mostly healthy. I use a homemade scalp scrub made with sugar, coconut oil, and apple cider vinegar. I follow this up with a well cleaning sulfate free shampoo. I haven't yet gone back to my no-poo but maybe after a few more months of scalp rehab, I will get there. I've already been able to reduce my shampoos from 3 days a week to 1-2 days a week which is a huge milestone. I think women with curly hair get so obsessed with having shiny smooth hair that we forget about the health of our scalps. I think my hair was actually thinning but because I hated my thick hair, I was actually relieved. It's one more example of how racism infiltrates our minds and makes us make really silly decisions about our health.

[@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!

Then condition (your choice conditioner) then rinse out, and I use Neem Oil 100% with castor oil and peppermint oil. Use sparingly. You judge. I use this on my scalp only. The Neem oil stinks but works. It kills fungus and parasites on the scalp. And the peppermint soothes. The castor oil promotes growth. To moisturize your hair only. Grab a black own product for moisture, like TGIN and Mielle and or The Shea moisture leave in moisturizer.

I got prescribed 2% ketoconazole shampoo and my flakes are gone but it is drying. For maintenance, I use livso scalp lotion to help not use the keto every week. Also, its good to keep cycling different ingredients like salicylic acid, ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, etc to prevent the yeast from getting accustomed to the ingredient and causing it to overgrow again. This is just my personal opinion but oils/butters and at home remedies are not it. I was a 7 year diy natural and all the acv rinses, black soap shampoos, ayurvedic masks and herbal blends with essential oils couldnt help my scalp. Dehydrated hair with an oily, inflamed scalp isnt healthy. Any style that is preventing you from accessing your scalp regularly should not be in your hair. Scalp health is important.

thank you so much for sharing this! glad to hear it’s doing better aside from the drying.

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!

What has helped me is realizing the oils that penetrate my scalp and also prepping my scalp with lemon juice, water and aloe like I tone my face before adding serums

[@SoniaDominique_]

Everyone please use the blue line from "As I Am" Olive & Tea Tree Oil for dry itchy scalp care... Good luck! 💛

[@JosephineOchere]

Apple cider vinegar and organic lemon juice that combo….. do it every time for the scalp when in protective styles

[@nofirstnolast2059]

Thank you so much for your informative and insightful videos! I prefer water-based serums to oils or grease on my scalp. The Curlsmith Scalp Stimulating Booster seems to be very hydrating for my scalp without ruining my hairstyle. So refreshing! Feels like a little morning shower just for my scalp. The Curlsmith Full Lengths Density Elixer is scalp hydrating for me, too. Perhaps other, more affordable options, such as the scalp serum from The Ordinary, would have a similar hydrating effect on the scalp as well. @The Style and Beauty Doctor Could you do a video on water-based scalp serums that includes expert medical opinions about theses products? Are these just hype? Water-based scalp serums do not seem to get much attention in these internet streets. However, my moderately dry scalp seems to appreciate the hydration. Thanks again!

Some people can strongly react to tea tree essential oil… using ACV regularly can also be detrimental as it can wash out the “good bacteria flora” in your skin and create an imbalance in the natural bacterial/fungus flora of your scalp…

[@cwcg4991]

When I used to make hair concoctions, tea tree oil irritated my scalp. (It was diluted in a mask or oil ) and acv is too harsh on the scalp/hair. I dont use any raw ingredients on my scalp or hair anymore.

[@hiamildebraganca4825]

@@cwcg4991 hello, thank you for the reply, i’m the same. My scalp really does not like tea tree and also most essential oils. More people should be aware that essential oils can be high sensitisers. Skin reaction can lead to hair fall and more serious scalp problems

What I learned in this video is that I'm going to need to come up with some money to get to Baltimore. I'm going to need to come up with some money for a doctor's visit and diagnosis and I'm going to have to hope everything ends up working and be patient with the process. Smh. Sounds very stressful but as soon as I come up with the money to take a flight or gas and time off from work... Baltimore here I come!

I’ve learned that I need to see a new dermatologist 😫 I basically learned everything Dr. aguh said I was using ketoconazole it would help the dandruff but then my hair would be so dry and break and not grow so I tried to apply it just to my scalp then rinse it instead of washing it through all my hair I would go back in with carol’s daughter shampoo and conditioner it’s been growing but now I feel like my hair is thinning that’s why I love your channel your teaching so much ❤ thank you!

Tea tree oil is amazing for yeast. My husband had horrible athletes foot being in shoes for 12-16hr nursing shifts. I started using tea tree oil diluted in a carrier oil, and overnight his feet healed. He had tried everything before, nothing worked.

[@jennyoyster5054]

I used CASTOR OIL. Ever since I’ve grown my locs and don’t use any other product but water and occasionally shampoo, my SCALPPP NEVER ITCHES. Like ever. Maybe every other week and it’s a small itch that last for 2 seconds. Castor oil on my hair/scalp almost every day.

No more dandruff 🙂 so just because something doesn’t work for one person doesn’t mean it won’t work for you.

No it actually depends on the kind of oil. We need oil on our scalps for moisture. Use peppermint/rosemary oil.

I love the head and shoulders royal oils line. I like it, but I can't use it when I'm having a scalp flair, and the only thing that works for me is Selsun blue! And, with years of dealing with Psoriasis that would flair up i had found Dudleys Scalp & Skin Antiseptic Pre-shampoo that not only does it works good on my scalp it also helps control the flair up and the inflammation on ny scalp! I keep bottles of this in my house!

Just realized this today. My scalp has been incredibly dry this week and I applied more oil this morning but the oil didn't make any difference. Just remembered that I cowashed my scalp last wash day (and the product was expired) so that may have contributed to more buildup. I thought it was just dehydration. My hair is due for a cleanse anyway.

Dandruff is freaking weird - now that my seborrheic dermatitis-caused flakes are under control, I've realized that my scalp at "heathy" baseline is OILY AF. I've actually been washing my hair...twice a week. With ciclopirox shampoo. And by washday, my scalp is actually incredibly oily all over again. (Keeping the medicated shampoo only to my roots, rinsing, and then using my preferred shampoo for my whole head has ameliorated the majority of the drying in my case.)
