I read an article on CareFair.com that says coconut oil can have a drying affect on the skin, so people with oily skin tend to use it as a moisturizer cause it balances excess oil, and people with oily scalp use it as well. That would explain why whenever I do a pre-poo, oil rinse, or seal with coconut oil I'm darn near scratching the skin off my head the day after. I know a lot of you use it and if it works for you than continue to do your thang. I don't think I'll be using it any more. I did an oil rinse with Hot Six oil today (which probably has some coconut oil in it), but my itching is completely gone.
My daughter also complained of her scalp itching when I did a pre-poo with coconut and other oils in her head a couple of weeks ago. I was perplexed cause with the amount of oil I put in her head there was no way that her scalp should've been dry.
Just wanted to share in case anyone using coconut oil is suffering from itchy scalp and doesn't know why.
