Guest guest Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 As I got older my scalp became sensitive to chemicals. I had scalp dermatitis. I can not use any chemicals on my scalp, so I get a all natural shampoo at my health store or Whole Foods market. I never use any hairspray, dye or gels.

During a mole scan appointment the Dr said I had " dermatitis " on my scalp, but I don't find I have any scaly skin/dandruff, but just feel itchy all the time (( Anyone any ideas on what to avoid or natural alternatives that work for them in this situation? Thanks in advance )) Blessings Althia **************Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight? Get new twists on family favorites at AOL Food.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 The chemicals in shampoos are quite harsh and irritating on the scalp. And as we age our skin gets dried out. I use 100% virgin coconut oil. I rub as dime size of it into my scalp and it relieves the dryness instantly. It also makes my hair more manageable. llaci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
