Is is dandruff or is it product build up?
While moisturizing my scalp, I noticed that I had a little build up today. I have never had build up until I added castor oil to my routine, not the pure but the BB Castor Oil with aloe. I oiled my scalp, combed it through like I have done for the past six days, and noticed today that I loads of oily dandruff and product on my comb.
I, like most, have dandruff from time to time, but not this heavily since the beginning of my hair growth (December 2010 not November 2010) and my first regimen change off the Dr. Miracles Nape and Hair Growth pomade/ grease. Once I discontinued use of that, I had a huge increase in growth and little to no dandruff. So, I am thinking this:
- The build up or dandruff could mean that its time for my build up remover and clarifying shampoo and I have nothing to worry about.
- That the mineral oil in the castor oil might actually be an issue for my scalp. (Mineral oil is a NO NO for most natural hair users)
- That my hair may be growing or my scalp getting so hydrated that I have to cut back on using it to ever other day instead of everyday.
- Stop using the product and go back to olive oil and get some REAL CASTOR OIL!
My Goal!
My Hair Care Regimen Change Up
Tonight, I am going to leave it alone since I have already oiled it. In the morning I am going to use my special clarifying solution to clean my scalp. This is
4 table spoons of apple cider vinegar
4 table spoons of 100% lemon juice
1 tea spoon of honey.
1/2 cup of water
I warm it in the microwave for 9 seconds and stir it so the honey can mix well with the apple cider vinegar
and 100% lemon juice. Vinegar and lemon juice are natural acids and can strip oils and build product better than most shampoos. Honey is awesome for it's healing properties. Ancient Egyptians used honey in the embalming process because it was use to fight bacteria and soften skin.
Once using that, I will use the Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Shampoo, the Motions leave in conditioner, and the Fantastic Sams hydrating conditioner.
Lets see if it works. Will update you A.S.A.P
