Thanks so much for this! Will you also make a video of your detailed curly hair routine once you're in the maintenance phase of SD? I was wondering if I could put some bit of oil on my hair (but not on my scalp) to tame the frizz
Hmm oil might be something you just have to try and see how it goes. Oil on my hair makes it too limp so I haven't been able to test that for myself. Recently I tried scalp oil massage just to see, and that was a bad idea for me-- flare up after a couple times.
I followed the cg method for years, all was fine until I got diagnosed with SD. My dermatologist said the essential icky oils that are used A LOT in the cg products where the culprit. Because we use tons of products with this method the triggers are on going. My hair was falling out like crazy, red and itchy scalp. She put me on Eucerin High Tolerance Shampoo and avoiding products on scalp, rinsing upside down and Curlsmith Shine line which is scent free. From the first wash my scalp was balanced and not red and itchy anymore! After a while my hair grew back and my curls are still super nice! No nizarol etc needed just avoiding those essential oils for me😁
I have oily scalp but damn dry hair, on season change my scalp react being sensitive with tons of hairfall and baldness in front area On scratching it feels so relieved
Personally, I focus on using an anti dandruff shampoo as often as I need, and not applying non-shampoo products to my scalp (and it's been trial and error which shampoos work best without being irritating or too stripping). I've found lately the As I Am Dry Itchy Scalp Care shampoo to be fairly hydrating in spite of being a shampoo, and I think there's also a co-wash if you need more hydration. I have to use a strong shampoo every couple weeks, so I make sure I have a good hydrating conditioner. Aside from that, I don't put gel or mousse on my scalp so I feel free to try whatever I want. Sometimes a little protein in products can help curls pop, and add strength after a clarifying shampoo, but too much will cause dryness.
I used up these particular products and decided to try As I Am Dry Itchy Scalp Care shampoo, which worked well for my scalp but I felt that it was over hydrating combined with a heavy conditioner like biolage. I still like the biolage as a deep conditioner, and my hair liked it better as a regular conditioner in humid weather. Someone gave me a bottle of Pacifica pineapple curls conditioner that I started a couple weeks ago, so far it's going well. I still use the same leave-in conditioner, when I feel like I need a leave in.
About every other day currently. I started having some issues when the weather got cold and right now I use As I Am Dry Itchy Scalp shampoo every other day.

What hair products would u recommend to make curls pop or keep them more hydrated without it impacting the scalp for dermatitis

@@doublegpeak do you still use the same conditioner (biolage) and leave-in (as i am) with this shampoo?
