Guurrl, have you ever had a full hair weave put in your head so close together that your scalp started to itch like crazy a couple of days later? It felt as if you had not shampooed your hair in over a month? Was is that, ri-i-ight?
Well there are a number of reasons why that happens.
A). When the scalp is manipulated by braiding (which is the first step in the weaving process) old dead cells (dandruff) rise to the surface.
B. The dyes and/or fibers from the synthetic hair some Stylist may use to braid into your own hair that help to secure the foundation of the cornrow can cause an allergic reaction that makes the scalp get so itchy that it feels like your scalp is burning.
 C). Certain moisture based products we use in the scalp can also cause an allergic reaction from the combination of oils they use in them. I'm actually allergic to mineral oil and beeswax based products. As soon as it touches my scalp my head starts to feel like 12 million bugs are crawling through it.
  My personal product of the season is the Virgin Hair Fertilizer contains peppermint oil and other natural herbal extracts that helps to eliminate dandruff, relieve dry scalp and condition your hair all at the same time.
Now what's funny is that I had never used The Roots product in my hair while having a weave but my scalp was itching really bad and on top of that if you know alittle something about raw, virgin hair you'll find that some of the textures are a little coarse and takes alot of conditioning before its really set in the style you would like to wear it in...
I opened it up and filled up the applicator with the nozzle, went in between my tracks and OOOHH MY GOOdness, my scalp started tingling with a refreshing coolness, my itch went away and my then I looked at my hairweave in shock because it literally softened up like silk right before my eyes. It became more manageable and began to have this incredible shine that it hadn't had. Just a couple of drops inbetween your scalp, massage it threw and well-lah!
