Ok I started doing this at the beginning of the week and my hair has been super moisturized, but starting about mid-day today my hair start to ITCH soooo bad!!!! And it hasn't really stopped ever once in a while it itches so bad that I am just clawing at my head all over. I'm still going to try this again tonight, but I am a little worried. What does everyone think???????????????

It could be coz it's time to wash or it could depend on the products you're using on your hair. I am one of those pple who doesn't like products on my scalp...although EO's and oils like jojoba don't seem to bother me much. Anything like grease would give me serious itches. So if I use a serum on my hair, I DARE NOT try sleep in a plastic cap or I will claw my scalp off. I use very little products on my hair (all natural) and wash my hair more often than not. But if I'm not mistaken, if I went three days without washing my hair, I believe I'd get the itches too with the plastic cap.
As far as fungus is concerned, I don't doubt this could happen too, esp if you're one of those pple who breaks out in a rash in the presence of mold or mildew. Moisture and warmth are the ideal conditions for fungus to thrive. But I think washing often so that your hair and scalp are clean all the time, and using EO's might help. Tea tree oil and coconut are supposed to be antifungal...so I wonder if using them in your "treatment" might deter fungus growth if that's a concern.(?)
