So i'm hiding my hair using a natural sew-in and for some reason my scalp is on FIRE!!! I had this sew-in for only about 3 weeks now and it's been itching since week 2 . I used to wear weaves all the time (braids, twist, sew-in, etc) and I might get the occational itch here and there but it would go away. I transitioned with weaves but i'm starting to notice that now that i am natural my scalp itches WAY MORE with a weave in my hair.
I definately try to keep my hair and scalp clean a moisturized whenever i wear weaves...
--wash twice a month with diluted shampoo and conditioner
--co wash atleast once a week with diluted conditioner
--moisturize hair with leave in with every co wash
--seal scalp with oil (EVOO, soybean oil, or coconut oil) with every co wash
sidenote: I don't really like coconut oil though because for some reason it makes my hair feel like straw and hard erplexed so i only use it when i can't find my other stuff.
This is more current with sew in weaves and i'm am about to go NUTZ!!!
I know the rule is to not "pat yo weaves ladies" in public but i find my self not even realizing that i'm tearing a hole into my scalp, eyes closed and all. and to make it worse when i finally get into the braid underneath to scratch one spot another spot starts to itch something fierce.
Has any of you guys experienced this? Could it be that maybe my head is not used to wearing weaves as often anymore? what else can I do!!??!?! I want to keep this in for a while but mmmaaannnn this mess itches... this junk has been itching through out me typing this message UUGGH!!!! (I think it knows i'm talking mess about it)
