So I went old school and bought Sulfur 8 this weekend at the grocery store.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Funny thing is Lucky grocery store is my go to place for Black hair care ever since I moved to San Jose. There's not a Beauty Supply store on every corner like there is in ATL, and last year I went to a billion stores to try to find a specific hair gel to lay down my edges for the holiday party. Ended up spending like $30 on crap from Sally's (after going to 3).
A few days later I was grocery shopping, and there for $3 was the gel I wanted.

At least once a year since moving here my scalp itches uncontrollably. I scratch myself raw trying to get relief to no avail. And I found that a quick wash with Head n Shoulders or Selsun Blue would do the trick, but it hasn't been working.
It got so bad that one night I had a dream about greasing my scalp... Like how my mama used to. Parting section by section and slathering it on. So I knew this was a sign from my Ancestors to go back to what I know.
And praise to the Spirit Guides because today I washed my hair, detangled, then greased my scalp with Sulfur 8.
IT WAS THE MOST GLORIOUS EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE!
The refreshing cool tingle gave me instant relief.
I don't think I've greased my scalp with anything other than coconut oil and EVOO since I've joined LHCF. But this morning the chemical laden mineral oil gave me life!
The only bad part is I smell like Sulfur 8. And of all the days to run into a former manager of my team arms stretched for a hug.
Between this and my Sunday Riley skincare I pray for the nostrils of everyone around me.
