Short hair brehs i need help - dandruff beating my ass

[Luke Cage]

Hear me out.......

Youre gonna need the sock of a homeless vet
that served in (Nam).......Has to be (Nam) for it to work.
Take the sock and have a stray cat piss on it
during a full moon,
take the sock and place in a jar with 2 teaspoons
of ammonia and a dead gold fish for a few weeks.
after that take the mixture and apply to scalp
until gone and cover head in durag for 8-10 hours.
Dandruff will never return and your
hair is gonna be as pretty as johnny mathis shyt.

Funny enough i dated a holistic hippy chick once that found a natural solution to dandruff, but it only worked for like a day or two.
She would wash my scalp with lemon juice, the acidity i think balanced out the ph of the oil buildup and i didn't feel any dandruff or irritation for like 24 hours, but then it came back. Selsum blue actually works for me for like a week before i need to use it again.

Conditioner and moisturizer makes dandruff worse. Dandruff is caused by by excess oil buildup on your scalp. you need to dry it out more for it to go away, not make it even more oily.

Also don't use that selsum blue more than once a week. Very strong stuff.

First thing I noticed he over doing it

I wash once a week on Sunday. Condition twice. On Wednesday & Sunday

Moisturize every other day. Might go back to back if needed.

You can use either once a day or 1-4 times a day depending on how bad the dandruff is.
There is also the spray version for if you have braids, twists or locs.

Didn't know they made anti dandruff conditioners and moisturizers. might try these myself.

People are posting hair care products. And those are only temporary fixes

But it's really your diet. Greatly reduce your sugar intake and your hair problems will go away

You sure it's dandruff and not just dry scalp? I would recommend co-washing (only washing with conditioner) twice a week and making sure you oil you scalp three times a week. And drink more water.

Dove Dry Scalp Hair Therapy changed the game for me.
a lifetime of dry scalp gone within the first few weeks.

I tried it all before this shyt

 

[Fillerguy]

So I bought all natural products

- Use 1x leave-in conditioner every day either in the morning or at night (Used it less before but started to use it more when I saw dandruff wasn't going away, doesn't seem to have helped)
- Use coconut oil as a moisturizer in hair every morning or at night
- Wash with conditioner every 2-3 days
- Wash with shampoo once a week


Other than that I don't touch/brush/rinse my hair at all. Not sure what i'm doing wrong exactly.

Problems are highlighted. I had the same issue. Went through the same shyt. Dandruff and try scalp runs in family. I started paying more attention after my hair started thinning.

The excess product is the problem. It causes build of oil with exacerbates the dandruff. Add product one a few days. Stick to water based conditioner, our hair wants moisture. If you use oil based conditioner, wet your hair first. Coconut oil isn't an oil, its a wax and will fukk you with build up worse. (If you aren't in a perpetually hot climate).

I wash my hair once a week with shampoo and the next week, with conditioner. When I work out alot, i just wash with water. May every days are so. Not manipulating your hair causes even more build up. Our hair naturally retain dandruff, oil and loose hairs due to how it curls at the folicil. Its literally forms a lil cup to collect gunk. So wet my hair and pick, comb, brush it every day. My hair is never dirty. My scale is a little greasy but ours is supposed to be....I haven't had dandruff problem in years. Our scalp is not supposed to be dry.

I learned all of this watching Black women on IG. Mostly African. Some hair doctors.

I haven’t struggled with dandruff in years, but when I did, Neutrogena T-Gel got me right

Was just about to post this....
This is the nuclear weapon against most things scalp related

Not the best smell tho

 

[Tunez]

It's over

 

[melraH]

If you are an active coli breh that goes outside and does any kind of excersize outdoors or wears hats being that its a very Hot summer

use a cheaper dandruff shampoo like Head and shoulders that has less percentage of active anti dandruff ingredients and it dont smell like sulfur or heavy chemicals that way you can shampoo more often than once a week.
Cause that sulfuric , sweat and hat smell is not the wave. cut your hair lower don't use conditioner for now maybe a dab of raw shea butter from them african brehs on the ave.

Probably could hit up a dermatologist.

Folks say this but it can take months. Let alone finding one that understands that black skin and hair requires different / more attention.


Use selsum blue and try using bronnerbros products in the meantime. A lot of off the shelf products will make it worse. Kinda got to experiment until you find what works and get a dermatologist appointment. Again could be a few months though.

Clean your liver.
Use high potency Milk Thistle.

This will completely get rid of your dandruff problem. And balance your scalp.
Don't drink or eat bad foods while taking this.

It's a fungus on your skin tho

If it's out of hand there's medication that brings it down.
