Has anyone noticed since going Natural

that you no longer have dry itchy scalp. I dont know what to make of this. Ever since in can remember i have had issues with dandruff and dry scalp. Even sometimes leaving the salon my scalp would be white. I mainly just cowash since April when i finally cut the rest of the permed ends. When i think back i havent really had too many problems with my scalp since i stopped perming my hair. Just wondering if it could have been the perm or if it is a combination of everything. Whatever it is im liking it.

i used to have serious dandruff, but since going natural - no dandruff at all. i did go thru issues when i used the wrong gel, it would flake

I've notice that too. I used to have some serious dandruff, but since I started transitioning and stopped "greasing" my scalp....all gone!

Yes! Having a dry itchy scalp is one of the main reasons I decided to get rid of the perm.I just could not take it.My scalp would be so tight and itchy! Now that I am natural My scalp is very healthy !

jealous...I've been natural all my life and just recently started having this problem out of the blue. I need to do what you're doing!

I think that being natural makes me have to take better care of my hair which I think is a great thing because my scalp used to be MAD itchy but since I've switched products it's gotten a lot better. I co wash every day and really try to make sure my scalp is moisturized. Since doing that I've noticed that my scalp has been rewarding me.

i can remember when I just to get my hair done, my stylist would scratch my scalp with the comb to break up the dandruff and then wash it. I felt like I was in a snowstorm. I didnt have a perm just flat iron. I think its me co-washing and spritzing my hair twice a day that helped out so much.

I've noticed that too. My scalp doesn't itch at all.

same here. i also noticed that i dont have to grease/oil my scalp anymore. it doesnt itch unless there's buildup and i need to wash, but other than that my scalp is fine

I used to have horrible dandruff when I was relaxed but since being natural I no longer have this issue.

I noticed it too, and I was amazed. If only someone told me this years ago it would have saved me from embarrassment.

I also had issues with dandruff when I was relaxed. It was probably from the products my stylist used and also using a hooded hair dryer with those drying products. My scalp doesn't itch as much and I when I shampoo I use Giovanni's TTT shampoo to soothe my itchy scalp.

lol I'm having the opposite problem. I had some pretty bad dandruff and itching problems in the last few months of my transition but I thought it was from the kinky twist weave. I did the BC 5 days ago and now my scalp is itching like crazy. Maybe I need to cowash more or switch conditioners [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

@ ChrsLvsBks your avatar is CUTE! I love the protective style!!

@ Janet36603 Hey Girl!!

I haven't experienced dandruff since I went natural as well. Just another one of the perks of doing things the natural way. I love it!

I must be the odd one out...the only problem I really have is frizz. No scalp problems, no dandruff, nothin'.

When I'm washing regularly I don't have any problems with itchy scalp of dandruff. But when I'm neglecting my routine, or maybe have in twists or something and don't want to wash my hair, then my scalp gets itchy.

hello all... this is my first day in the CN forum and I just wanted to post something..I'm 22 and from VA, and I've been transitioning for the past 10months. It's really difficult and I've been tempted a lot to return to the CC, but the comments I've been getting about how pretty my hair is becoming again(ok, so I'm a mixed breed, so it didn't get that bad) has kept me away.. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] my biggest issue with going natural has to be the level of frizz; I've never had a prob with dandruff, more of an itchy scalp though.. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] anyway, I just wanted to say hello to all the ladies in the forum and hopefully I'll be able to post some pics soon. I'll be replying to topics and asking questions all the time, cause its reassuring that there are other women out here going natural as well, and I don't have to feel alone...thanks!!

I had a mild dandruff situation when I was relaxed...and back then, I took very good care of my hair. Now that I'm natural I don't have a dandruff problem however, I have 2 admit, there are many times when I neglect my natural hair lol. Let it do whatever...but yet no scalp issues. Go figure!
