No more sore, itchy, flaky scalp!

[Marcia16]

Hi Ladies, just wanted to share with you. For 2 months, I have had a sore, itchy & flaky scalp. It felt like my scalp was on fire. It got so bad that I was actually breaking the skin while scratching not knowing that I was doing so. Finally I went to my doctor & explained to her my scalp problem & that I'm trying to grow my hair & gave her my vitamin regimen. She told me that my regimen looks great & I'm taking just the right amounts & not doing an overkill. I gave her my hair regimen & she looked at me like I was on something. She told me to leave my hair alone, stop mixing oils like I'm a scientist, don't oil my scalp it only makes it worse. She recommended that I take a pill called Esssential oils from Puritan Pride, it has fish oil, flaxseed oil & borage oil. And that I take a Vitamin E Complex. She explained to me that by taking these 2 pills that my scalp will receive all the oil it needs to stay healthy & I will have shiny, soft & manageable growing hair. Also my skin will look & feel better. She also recommended a scalp treatment called Aubrey's Calaguala Fren & Cade Tar. Well I brought the scalp treatment & used it & I must say that I LOVE it. My scalp is not on fire, the flakes are gone & it doesn't itch. This is a definite keeper for me. I'm going to try the Essential oils pill & Vitamin E Complex, I know Puritan Pride is having a buy 1 get 2 free sale.

Wow.. thanks for the great info.

Thanks for the info. I go through the same thing every once in a while. I try what your doctor suggested.

I love when people post doctor information then I don't have to go. What is this? Aubrey's Calaguala Fren & Cade Tar.

I use Aubrey's Rose Hip oil but they don't give you a lot for $13.00 so I limit it to use on some fine forehead lines.

I probably will try the other stuff she recommended because I have a problem with Flakes too. I have to admit that, if I use Neutrogena Shampoo and put oil on it before the shampoo, the flakes aren't bad though.

Was your doctor black or white?

I totally agree. I haven't oiled my scalp in over 2 years. The frequent use of water keeps my scalp moisturized. Also I take evening primrose oil gel caps.

Congratulations Marcia! You must be so happy not to have that problem anymore.

Thanks Pooh123, I finally found something that works. I have been lurking on this board for over a year now & finally joined a couple of weeks ago. I have to admit that I've tried everything, mixing this oil & that oil & it only made it worse. Someone told me to mix 19 drops of rosemary oil with 4 oz of Jojoba oil, 2oz of castor oil, 1oz of wheatgerm oil & I did it like a fool. This was a terrible thing to do, My scalp was covered with a rash & sores. My doctor said I'm blessed that my hair did not fall out. The point I'm trying to make is be careful, make wise decisions, talk to your doctor who is a professional. You don't know who is giving info to you on this board. It could be a 13 yr old for all you know. I should have known better at my age. I now make wise decisions & use common sense.

Bett1e, the scalp treatment is called Calaguala Fren Cade Tar made by Aubrey's . It's a shampoo for $10.00

Bett1e, my doctor is part British part African American.

Thanks. I went to the health food store and didn't see that product by Audrey but I saw tons of others. I will reconsider the EFA's and Vitamin E though.

I agree as well! Since I've been rinsing/condition washing daily and taking evening primrose capsules and Vit. E capsules, I no longer have scalp issues. I also do not put any oil directly on my scalp.

I'm glad your scalp problem is solved!!

I am glad your doctor was able to help you. do not call yourself a fool; you were experimenting and it did not work out for you. However, a lot of people have success with that oil formulation.... Everyone is different....

And that shampoo by Aubrey is very effective and gentle....

Marcia

I have been experiencing the same thing
is the scalp treatment a shampoo
and how often did you have to use it?

thanks again for the info

 

[Marcia16]

NYCchild, you are welcome, that's what we are suppose to do, share things to help us reach our goals.

Thanks Sherrylove, I did not look at it as experimenting, it's better than calling myself a fool. Also I misspelled the name of the shampoo. It's Calaguala Fern not Calaguala Fren. See I was so happy that something finally worked, I just wanted to share it with my lovely sisters

. By the way , your hair is absolutely gorgeous. You are definetly a role model for the ladies.

Zgirl, It's a shampoo. It states on the bottle you can use everyday but my doctor recommened that I use every 3 days for 2 weeks or until it clears.
