    Speaking as a family doctor who used to work in a derm clinic, flaky, oily scalp can be due to yeast and bacteria that can be treated with anti-dandruff products. Head&Shoulders or zinc pyrithione shampoo, Selsun Blue or selenium sulfide shampoo, Nizoral or ketoconazole shampoo, coal tar products are also amazing for seborrheic dermatitis and psoriatic dermatitis. You can also use the Neutrogena acne wash with salicylic acid in the orange bottle on your scalp. Wash your scalp every other day for a whole month with these and it should be 99% improved. Continue with one of these at least once weekly after.

    I washed my scalp/hair every day for 38 years. Then, I went no poo. My hair was shine, very oily (scalp too), 3a/3b and mid to thick and it became an opaque dry mess, fine and 2b/2c/3a after 7 years. It thinned and fell to the point I got an androgenetic alopecia diagnose.
    And no. It was not related to the Deva products, which I used in the beginning but didn't like the work out needed to use them. I ditched the brand.
    The last 4 years I reverted back to my old care (sulfates and silicones), spend a lot of $ on hair therapies and selected products, and my hair is back on track.
    I stopped no poo in 2019. So, just have in mind that even back there shampoos had already come a long way to clean hair without scrubbing your hair of everything.
    Lesson learned: Don't fall for internet trends or trends promoted by people that are selling products related to it (Deva). Let alone if you are a chemist like me. If your hair is ok with whatever you are doing, there is no reason to change.

    WAXY SCALP: for about 2 years I had a huge problem with a waxy feeling scalp with painful sores. Even after trying many clarifying shampoos, it was just getting worse. It never looked or felt clean. I had bloodwork to check for hormone issues, went to a dermatologist, installed a 3 stage water filter system and replaced my water softener. I even tried dish soap! In the end, it was caused by Olaplex applied at the salon. The last time I had it added to my color treatment (2 years ago) I reached up and felt my hair before and after application of Olaplex 2 by my experienced/Olaplex trained stylist. A lightbulb went off and I realized what the cause was after 2 years of scalp issues. I have never had Olaplex added to my color again and I have never had a problem with waxy scalp or scalp sores since then. I know many people love Olaplex, but for anyone frustrated by waxy scalp with sores - if your stylist uses Olaplex, try discontinuing and see if your scalp problems end.

    Flipping the hair to shampoo “against gravity” works really great, and also flipping it over to do a final rinse gets all that hidden shampoo rinsed away. When I really want to get crazy, I do a final-final rinse of distilled water with a sports water bottle I keep in the shower. Helps manage the hard water build up. Great video, thanks Abbey!

    As a certified trichologist, would you be willing to make a dedicated video for coarse, frizzy hair textures? I know that’s not your hair type so you wouldn’t recommend the same products that you particularly use, but maybe you can discuss ingredients to look for in shampoos, conditioners and styling products that smooth frizz and add some weight and protection to fluffy, dry hair. I wear my hair naturally curly, but I also like to blow dry my hair straight sometimes.
    I always see tons of content for fine hair adding volume but I actually need the opposite 😂

      She doesn’t mention shea moisture and i still love their shampoo and conditioner (not their stylers so much) but other than that brand, I’ve used a lot of her recommendations with a ton of success.
      Adding this comment in case she never does a video exclusively for ur specific hair type.

      I copied and pasted this from The National Library of Medicine government website of a study that was done , Alkaline pH may increase the negative electrical charge of the hair fiber surface and, therefore, increase friction between the fibers. This may lead to cuticle damage and fiber breakage. It is a reality and not a myth that lower pH of shampoos may cause less frizzing for generating less negative static electricity on the fiber surface.

Try going one day with my scalp, you *will* understand.

    This is so interesting to me. I wash my hair every week to week and a half. Usually it’s about a week and a half though. I don’t have dry scalp or anything, my scalp and hair just don’t really get dirty or oily. Even though I go that long, my hair still smells really good. I use a scalp scrub and then shampoo and find that works best for me. I was double shampooing before but it was just annoying lol. I use sulphate free shampoos and it made such a huge difference for me, before I made the switch I had severe sebhorratic dermatitis on my scalp and it was constantly bleeding and had plaque buildup. I’m definitely happy I discovered the difference, though sometimes I miss a good clarifying clean.

    I have PCOS and I tried almost everything I found online to get rid of my oily scalp. Nothing worked. Washing more, washing less, every type of cleanser including flour, clay and soap, it’s an internal issue. Now I accepted that I just have to wash my hair a lot. I use clarifying shampoos and BHA and alternate between washing standing up and upside down to make sure I get everything regularly. My hair starts looking greasy after about 12 hours. That stayed the same since I was 13 years old, so when puberty hit. I am now in my 30s and nothing I did changed the amount of oil my scalp produces.

      Sometimes I have noticed if I use a clarifying shampoo too much it dries my scalp and it produces oil faster because it has become dehydrated. I actually switched to baby shampoo or a normal shampoo and make sure that I shampoo 2x so that I have a really thick lather. Make sure you are applying your shampoo to the actual scalp instead of just the hair follicles. I love Livelovelocks, he makes great videos and have really transformed my hair.

      This is exactly my situation, too. Except I’m not diagnosed with PCOS but with endometriosis and also acne vulgaris. I‘m 25.
      I too have tried everything. Literally everything. It‘s so tiring. Also, the amount of people trying to shame people with an oily scalp into not washing their hair is so upsetting. First thing I gotta do in the morning is take a shower, wash my face and my hair. No matter how much effort I put into it, it‘s the same every day. I‘ve been struggling with this for 10-15 years. My hair is also the super fine type.
      I can‘t go a day without shampoo. My hair is so greasy, literally down to my ears after 20ish hours. It could not be more greasy if I put some heavy oil like coconut oil onto my scalp on purpose.
      Testing shampoos etc is hard because almost every single product contains comodogenic stuff that breaks me out. I‘m using baby shampoo at the moment.
      Sometimes I get so jealous of people with normal hair. Taking care of this mess is so exhausting and hard to manage (time wise or when I stay at my relatives‘ places when I visit them…).
      I wish you the best. Just know, you‘re not alone!

      ​@@honey_love1302I am in no way suggesting you must go out and get it(as if its that easy) but if you have ever considered accutane amongst the very serious cons that should always be considered, one of the pros is the oils don't just dry up on your face, they do everywhere, including your scalp. I took it for just stubborn acne and wow what a difference it made in my oil production in my scalp that I was not expecting at all. That was back in 2017 and my scalp still doesnt produce the amount of oil it used to and its def a great thing for me. Again, accutane is a very serious medication with very serious side effects, but if you hadn't already considered for your acne vulgaris, the oil part may be a benefit thats worth considering 💗

    I've always had a pretty normal scalp, not dry nor oily, but recently, I've had some itchiness in certain areas that's usually taken care of with a wash. It was a real light bulb moment for me when you said the cause is oil. It's very interesting. I'm going to check out the inkey list products because I've wanted to try an exfoliant. For the salon feel, I mostly wash my hair in the kitchen sink, and it's just easier for my hair to be flipped over, lol. Great video 💜

How often do you need to deep condition? I'm kind of breaking away from the once a week shampoo because my scalp is just nasty by the end of the week and that always meant I was deep conditioning every time I shampoo and doing this long complicated shampoo routine. Should you deep condition after a clarifying treatment?

And my hair never felt worse 😅 It became a dull, heavy mess and my curls stopped curling! Went back to my clarifying shampoos and silicones 3 months after and never looked back. My hair curled normally again and became shiny and healthy. My favourite clarifying shampoos are L'Occitane Volume and Force and the Ogx ACV clariying one. My hair is always refreshed and bouncy.
