Thanks for your …
But I’m curious to know what made you think I was afro-caribbean.
Thanks for your comment. I too am seeking more natural methods to dealing with eczema and seborrhea. I would love to know what you have discovered! Also, I’m african-american

This is really …
This is really encouraging to see a afro-caribbean person talking about eczema’s. I have suffered with eczema from birth and have been used steroid creams for 7 years now. I baby sat for a family memeber and forgot my cream at home and as a result could move my fingers of go out as I break out was worse than I have ever experienced. I am now trialing natural methods and take internal and external body foods very seriously.

You’re absolutely right. Different things work for different people. I get many suggestions on what to use. I appreciate the suggestions but at the end to the day I have to choose what’s best for my hair and scalp. Relaxers would definitely exacerbate the problem for me. Thats part of the reason I stopped getting them. Washing my hair weekly helps me as well.

do not braid or perm too much tension on my scalp breaks me out. Different thins work for different skin types though people do not want to admitte it. Like as black women I can not wash my hair daily this will add dandruff to my exzima. I hate when people say “you can get perm” “it’s the type of perm your using”. Black women sometimes find it hard to beleive that one cannot add this foreign chemical to ones scalp and that I exagerate. I hate that.

I would recommend it. Of course there are a variety of medicated shampoos on the market, but this one was the first one I tried and it worked GREAT! If you are just starting out, you’ll need to wash your hair almost daily for at least a week (or two) until the flaking stops, like I’m doing in this video. Then you can decrease usage to once per week after that. Hope that helps.

Would you recommend head and shoulders? How many times a week do you wash your hair to keep your scalp from flaking? The worst part of my head is the top.

I feel your pain. …
I feel your pain. Leaving the shampoo on for 10 minutes allows it to really penetrate the scalp. It has eliminated my scales and flaking. My scalp is not itchy at all. I just have to make sure I shampoo every 7-9 days so I won’t have a flare up.

This video helped a whole lot. I have seborrhea and hate it. I didn’t realize you’re supposed to leave the shampoo in your hair for 10 minutes. I’m going to try that. I use the zinc pirythione shampoo. I guess it lessens the amount of scales, but I don’t really see a notice/change. Also, I’m a teenager so it makes it even worse to wear my hair down sometimes, because I’m afraid of the dandruff.

Yeah, I decided not to put the shea butter on my scalp for the 14 days. I do put a little on the ends of my hair to keep them from drying out though. Talk to ya later!

tx for sharing. The chanllenge seems too be bigger for blacks and even more for naturals Lol. The dark blue H&S (selenium sulfide) shampoo is the most powerfull one for seborrhea. the zinc Pirythione should works too and is less harsh on the hair. if it works for you i might try it out and see. I suggest you do not use the shea butter at least for the 14 days so that we can see how the shampoo is working but…. it’s up to you. Tx again.
