I have 2 things to ask and didn't think posting 2 threads would makse sense. My main problem right now is a super itchy scalp. I have never had a problem with this before but lately there is no helping it. I am relaxed. I cowash daily, wash, protein treatment and deep condition (adding oils) once a week. This is super simple and has been working for me. But the last 2 weeks my scalp has been going crazy, itching up a storm. I have been using a new shampoo and thought it was that so I went back to my Suave Clarifying. Same thing. So I started thinking maybe Suave was too drying. Yet my hair is still fine. I never add any products after I wash but I started adding Lisa's Elixir from Carol's Daughter to my scalp. Especially since after all of the scratching my scalp is white and flaky. But I just hate the way oils feel and look in my hair. Weighed down and greasy. What else can I do? Is this a growth spurt? Do I just have to suffer through this for a while?
Now the second thing. I only go to my stylist for a relaxer. She is really good. But she does a miniscule trimming every time I go. Nothing to die over, but everytime? I go 12 weeks. I am going to try to stretch another week this time. But is this too much? My hair is still growing at a nice rate but I never use heat, only when I go to her. Should I tell her to ease up on this?
