    The longer my braids are in my scalp isn't itchy. They're only itchy the first 2weeks when they're freshly done.

      It can vary depending on the person, I just try to make sure I keep my scalp moisturized while I have braids to reduce the itchy feelings.

      Yeah Im starting to think I am becoming allergic to the braiding hair because my scalp get little dry patches sometimes so I have to figure out an alternative with the braiding hair. I usually use Black N' Gold.

    Some people have a condition called psoriasis of the scalp and seborrheic dermatitis. Those conditions will make your scalp crust up even after box braids are first installed.

    Use braid spray to keep your scalp moisturized and use witch hazel to cleanse ur scalp

    • @KalanyMightBeADawg123
      @KalanyMightBeADawg123 4 роки тому +1

      I didn't think of that. Witch hazel will stop the itch too

    • @lace8588
      @lace8588 3 роки тому +3

      Although witch hazel stops the itching it has some amounts of alcohol in it. I wouldn’t suggest using witch hazel for your scalp cause it can cause bald patches overtime or thin new growth.(speaking from experience) Maybe use aloe Vera. But whatever works best for you😊

    • @LenaMelanista
      @LenaMelanista  3 роки тому +1

      Oh wow! I’ve never tired witch hazel before, but if it can potentially cause thinning then idk lol. I needs this new growth fully intackedT lol. Thanks for watching btw❤️❤️

    • @Erica_Love_Love
      @Erica_Love_Love 5 років тому +2

      If they're slipping then it may be a chance the braids weren't put in right. Look up knotless braids tutorial and get your next braids done like that. I promise you wont have any slippage.

    What if I had my braids for 1 week and I have the crazy constant itch.

    • @LenaMelanista
      @LenaMelanista  3 роки тому +1

      Girl, I would take them out. I can not stand when my scalp continues to itch even after I've moisturized it. You can try washing your braids or taking them out and washing your hair. Give you hair a little break from the braids until your scalp stops itching.

    • @naomiwhy2191
      @naomiwhy2191 5 років тому +1

      I used to experience the same, i can only recommend moisturizing your scalp (itchiness and dryness), not washing too often (frizz) and not to use non water based products on your braids (build up)
      Also everyones hair grows at a different speed so enjoy your new growth and don't worry if it isn't 100% as neat as the first day

      One month isn't too short especially depending on the size and style of your braids. It depends on you, if your scalp is itchy and flaky even after you've tried to moisturize etc, I would just take them out.
