SULFUR 8 & WATER SAVED MY ITCHY SCALP! | Seborrheic Dermatitis Relief + Wash Day Routine (ASMR)

[@abcisme]

I LOVE the “no-music, no-talking, minimal edits” style of natural hair videos. It’s so relaxing and makes it easier to focus on technique.

[@jihanjude6634]

I have seborrheic dermatitis on my scalp, aka scalp eczema. Shampoos my dermatologists has recommended and I've used for years: nizoral (let sit in your hair and it kills the malassezia ) then second cleanse with either Selsun Blue Naturals with 3% salicyclic acid (declogs pores like sulfur and removes scales and calms inflammation). Do this once a month or however you prefer depending upon your scalp dermatitis. Or, if it is really inflamed and hurting you can use head and shoulders routinely or Selsun Blue Medicated routinely, but only Nizoral will be the most effective (proven by clinical studies). Second, do not use the Sulfur 8 in the yellow bottle. It has Cinnamate and other pure cinnamon derivatives. I took a topical allergy patch test from my dermatologist after presenting to him with inflamed scalp. Turns out the allergy test came back I'm allergic to Cinnamon and all cinnamon derivatives and what was I using? Sulfur 8 and a Lush Cinnamon shampoo bar. Since having this diagnosis I screen for any cinnamon derivative in my hair products and hair grease and do not use and it has been a big improvement. I use two Sulfur 8 products: Sulfur 8 in the Blue bottle which was made to exclude Cinnamate due to the it has a common allergen and I also alternate and use Sulfur 8 Fresh with 2% salicylic acid. Knowledge is power and please see your doctors. It took me years and suffering hair loss to figure out what works for my scalp and how scalp health affects hair health. Be well.

[@natashatwine7818]

Thank you, this is good information

[@MicaelaShepherd]

I have eczema in my scald as well. I use Neutrogena TG shampoo and I wash my hair every 4 days. Products with sulfate give me an allergy reaction on my scald. My hair is very thin so I don't wash it often.

[@missdesireindependance5194]

Thanks

[@iyeshafranklin1046]

Do you use any particular oils what keeps your scalp from being dry

[@IjeomaThePlantMama]

Sulfur 8 is old old OLD school, I can smell that yellow jar from here 😆 nice relaxing video!

[@chaneli3n]

No lies told - I can smell the sulfur through my screen!

[@curlytempleshaw5636]

Lmbo at comments

[@opinionatedlibra1934]

Agreed and I still use it with a little bit of essential oils to reduce the smell.

[@justdanie7613]

Lmao

[@heyy_its_kaykay]

1:55 The water beads look like glitter in your hair! So pretty!

[@rashidamoore8177]

Thanks so much for sharing your regimine, Joy-el! I was seeing a dermatologist for my seborrheic dermatitis and using prescription shampoo and very expensive prescription oil ($70 per bottle). I've since replaced the shampoo with Nizoral (same active ingredients as prescription shampoo but OTC) and replaced the prescription oil with good old Sulphur 8. Voila! No more inflammation or itchy/flaky scalp. For less than $25, it's under control...without a co-pay to the specialist. THANK YOU!!!

[@sable7114]

This is a very relaxing video when you're not talking. Sounds like the ocean and I almost fell asleep 3 times!

[@thechedda5333]

Holy cow. Had no idea, as I've not seen it before. Thank you. Our hair is truly beautiful and to maintain it, it takes time and purpose. Thank you again. What an eye opener. Continued blessings to you and yours.

[@drea1985]

The amount of patience and care. Combination of stress and not having the time to do a long wash routine has my hair in mad shed at the moment.

[@mikkiismyname]

Old school remedy for just about everything hair related. It has grown my hair and brought back my edges. I cut it with coconut and castor oils with peppermint and rosemary. It helps with the smell but is still effective. Hair grease is not all bad.

[@lblack1961]

I love my hair grease. Sulphur 8 and Royal Crown are my favorites (I'm allergic to bergamot-- can't do Blue Magic).

[@mianaomipost9885]

Wow! You truly have low porosity hair! It seems like it never really absorbed any water 💦 😳 This was so satisfying to watch! You have more hair in one section of your hair than half my head! 🤩🤩Just think, Jesus knows exactly how many are on your head-that’s love and a lot of counting!😅😅😂😂🤣🤣

[@nousersnamesleft]

I’ve been using the As I Am dry scalp line in the blue bottle. The salicylic acid and tea tree in the shampoo and scalp oil worked well for my dermatitis. The whole line works well together. I just had to get a better deep conditioner.

[@Brwniee95]

Got this line recently and it worked so well 🙌🏾

[@AllysseMarie]

I’m so glad you found your way to sulfur 8! I used it for a few months and my itchy scalp never came back.

[@laurscurls]

Ah Yes all the tingles ✨

[@spacedandyy]

Is that a good sign?

[@JermaineAuNatural]

Loved the ASMR and the pot I had sounds of the bottle lol I love the sound of detangling hair. Happy you found a process that works for your scalp!

[@ilyzoe1089]

Omg yess I love the asmr in the beginning ❤️❤️❤️ this is so relaxing

[@EraDeeee]

I’ve only tried this twice so far and I can already tell a tremendous difference. So very grateful to you for sharing your experience of using this; I would have never tried it nor found relief if not for you. ❤️

[@vanessaclark3443]

It's so refreshing and affirming to watch someone who has hair that looks exactly like mine, and of someone who actually has 4C hair for real. 😍

[@hyperspacek8652]

I hate when ppl say grease is bad for your hair when really its just the way you use it... I like to use Blue Magic grease on my scalp and ends and it really does help reduce the amount of dryness and itchiness I would get. Thank you for sharing your hair routine process. And btw Alexa scared tf outta me at the end 😂😂

[@justdanie7613]

Had my hair down my back as a kid. Started back using the Softee Indian hemp last year and sulfer 8 grease in 2020

[@maviswiggins4912]

I use sulfur 8 braid spray in the yellow bottle and the sulfur 8 hair grease on my son's scalp and it works for his flaky scalp and his hair is flourishing....so I use the spray but instead of the sulfur 8 alone I mix it with the green blue magic grease to mask the scent.

[@nikkib898]

How do you use these products please. Are you using the spray as a moisturiser and then sealing with the grease. Thanks

[@SheWhoRiddles]

Glad you took the advice and tried it luv. My son's scalp is still doing well after it cleared his up. Great news.

[@sandydlea2991]

Your hair has come such a long way, it's so beautiful and super thick 😍

[@catchyname5403]

This is my second go around trying to watch as I knocked out on the first viewing. So dang relaxing for me although the opposite for you the sounds are 🥰 ty

[@alienamie]

Glad you finally found something to give you relief!

[@owensdmd]

Jesus, watching this video made me so tired because I literally do all of this to my hair on my wash day too 😩 and we have the same exact hair texture. Bless us all!

[@masterofnothing2360]

Omfg, I forgot about sulfur 8! Watching all these return to old school products videos makes me realize we had A LOT more hair greases than I realized - sulfur 8, royal crown, blue magic (2 varieties), Indian hemp, and ultra sheen. Sheesh 😂

[@justdanie7613]

Lol Affordable and WORKS

[@therealkenj98]

This is asmr omg ! Also your hair is so thick and pretty.

[@Ohh4udumn]

I’ve used a lot of products but my favorite is Dr. Bronners peppermint Castile soap. I don’t use it every wash day, but the peppermint sensation calms my scalp.

[@Oonagh72]

I’m glad the sulfur8 worked for you!! It worked great for my son. You are beautiful as always.

[@jeanninegorden8142]

It's so fascinating how different methods work for different people. If I waited to do majority of my detangling after washing out my DC my hair would be in knots. My detangling process starts 2 days before wash day and includes a prepoo.

[@TheMspoodle2]

Your hair has grown so much.

[@jazhillstaten]

My mother used this product on me as a child. As I got older, one day, I remembered this scalp conditioner. Now, my home never goes without this cream. You get used to the smell. I don't use their shampoo. It dries my hair out and doesn't do a great job getting the flakes out. (With my hair) I exfoliate with Dr. Bronner's soap and put the cream on my scalp. Once it's on (especially after a flare), my eyes roll to the back of my head. Lol. Feels soo good.

[@daniellesmith7149]

That water from the shower is A.S.M.R. and it sounds so good.

[@lblack1961]

This was very relaxing (and affirming) to watch! You take such care with your hair (as we all should...it deserves it!) 1. I still have jars of Sulphur 8 in my possession (and a bottle of their shampoo). 2. If you like DIYs: I also recommend Sulphur powder in castor oil (a little goes a long way). I use it on my skin, where I sometimes get a fungal issue from my smartwatch and between my toes (TMI? hope not. The stuff works! lol). When the oil-mix is used up, I make a cream from the Sulphur residue by blending it with coconut oil, mango and shea butter, and sandalwood, cedar, and peppermint oil. I use it for the same thing (and occasionally use it on my hair/scalp and all over as a body butter). 3. Also, Green Beauty has a video about Sulphur that she posted recently with her DIY.

[@jabathepegasus]

The front of my hair, where my edges are, the the itchiest part of my hair. I’ve used Head and Shoulders, Selsun Blue, regular shampoo, but I still get flakes a few days after washing and then after a week my scalp itches so much. I can’t help but scratch my head so edges have been receding :( I’ll try this shampoo, thank you for the suggestion!

[@Deklectic]

OMG!!! I'm 30 now and that sulfur 8 just took me ALLLL the way back to my childhood and then some... even the container hasn't changed in over 20 years.. Wow I didn't even know they still made this stuff.. I remember my mom buying me the Sulphur 8 shampoo to go along with it also which I remember would strip every drop of moisture out of my hair.. 🤣🤣 The most clarifying/stripping shampoo I have EVER used in my life is Sulphur 8. I also would also use Selsum Blue back in the day too when we didn't have the sulfur 8 shampoo.. 😄 Awsome video!!

[@sly5722]

My mom used sulfur 8 on my scalp my entire childhood for my scalp psoriasis. I can smell it through the screen. 😂

Same I didn’t have any scalp issues but she would use it whenever she did my hair

@@masalaronald5846 yeah I didn’t have scalp issues when I used it.

[@yeseniarobles4289]

Check the ph of your products, I find a lot of hair products have a really high ph and causes burning and shedding of the scalp.

[@JordanWilliams-ix2td]

Ahh just the bottle brings me back to my childhood & my pillow always smelling like this stuff 😂 The smell is STRONG AF! But THIS IS THE TRUTH! my mom used this when was a kid & my hair was mid back length & super strong with no perm. I swear every black needs this lol

Oh my word Sulfur8 childhood classic!!

[@OLatreil]

Be sure to eat 2 brazil nuts per day to fight dandruff. It is a scalp fungus overgrowth and the ample amount of selenium (an important mineral that most of us are deficient in) in brazil nuts kills the fungus. For a period of time in my life I was eating the deluxe nuts as a snack and didn't have dandruff. I hadn't had the connection until a few weeks ago after I had stopped the nuts and got dandruff again. I researched how to stop it and saw the mentioning of selenium sulfate which is in Selsun Blue. I recognized selenium as a mineral and learned that it's in Brazil Nuts in abundance. I'm back at it this time with the Nizoral shampoo and will just keep anti-fungal shampoo as my regular hair products. Next is the all-natural Kamedis brand for full body anti-fungal care.

[@pjtippett5510]

[@thrillington2008]

I'm getting back into the habit of using Sulfur 8. Had it in my scalp years ago and will use it soon when I wash my hair again.

[@SuperSade2012]

I am glad you tried the Sulfur I sent a comment awhile back and referred you to check it out I used it for years. great for the skin also. You should have someone come and part your scalp and do it for you so it can heal with the more you use it. Do at night before you sleep on the bad areas.

[@batoulm7627]

[@danmeck5978]

Sulphur 8 can also be uses for Contact Dermatitis, acne...etc.

I only used is on my scalp on my wash day’s there’s videos and recipes on KZbin but it’s best to just research it yourself The Green beauty has great information and a great recipe! I hope you try it! I think you will love! Love it! It 100 times better then sulfur8! Much love to you💋❤️

[@tsuronhema3235]

If anyone else has seborrhoeic dermatitis, try a product that contains zinc pyrithione and/ or magnesium. I use a shampoo by cleversoap and it keeps my flare ups away pretty well. When my scalp is inflamed/ flaky I soak it with magnesium chloride oil/ brine overnight then wash in the morning. Other than that head and shoulders, nizoral and products containing sulfur are effective for me too, just not as rapidly.

[@winternightsky6945]

I have been trying for years not to use Sulfur 8 because it was in grease form and I'm too lazy to deal with grease😂. But i was curious if i added oil would it liquefy so that it would make it easy to apply. So i finally tried about 2 months ago and was surprised that it did liquefy with oil and i didn't have to heat it up. My flakes were gone and no itchiness for weeks and i notice my hair grew in 2 months. I hit a growth plateau but not anymore. However, no matter how many oils that smell good jojoba, avacado, lavender i mixed with it that smell is terrible when the hair is wet, its like an egg smell. It settles down when the hair is dry though. It's one ingredient im going to take out when this batch is gone because i think the rosemary may be contributing to the smell because it's been a problem with my other batches i made without Sulfur 8.

Hi Joy-el.😊 I have eczema and it affects me all over. Therefore, I break out the Sulfur 8 scalp butter that's out. 😂 😂 However, I put just a touch on certain parts of my scalp which itches. Furthermore, my hair tends to get brittle for some reason after I use a texturizer. 😩

It’s not for some reason - it’s because texturizers damage your hair by breaking the protein bonds
