Let's talk about Seborrhea and Seborrheic Dermatitis

Yeah we know your scalp is itching you. In fact, you have hit your head over and over again, till people assumed you were mad. To make it worse, you didn't even have extensions on... or maybe you did. It isn't surprising that you have diagnosed you issue to be dandruff, but you have used all the anti- dandruff shampoos you can use without getting any relief.

It is very common for women to conclude that they are dealing with dandruff issues when their scalp is flaking and itching. Not every case of flaky or itchy scalp is dandruff. Seborrhea and Seborrheic Dermatitis is one of the options.

This October, we will be dissecting Seborrhea and Seborrheic Dermatitis. There will also be a Q and A session when you can ask questions pertaining to the topic.

The date of this Webinar is 6th of October 2018, by 6pm (GMT+1).

To join this webinar, you will need to register using the link below. The good news is that even if you are not around by 6pm (GMT+1) this Saturday, the webinar will be available for one week after we go live. You can always watch it later as long you register

See you on Saturday

If you live in Nigeria, we wish you a Happy Independence Day.

Are these the most effective remedies for treating itchy scalp?

Itchy scalp is probably the most common ailment everyone has which means everyone also has different remedies that work for them. It's not a one size fits all situation.

A couple of weeks ago,we threw this question out to our social media followers and got interesting feedback.

Apparently, these are the most effective remedies;

• Aloe vera gel
• Onion juice
• Lemongrass essential oil
• Rosemary essential oil
• Peppermint essential oil
• Apple Cider Vinegar rinse
• Cleansing and oiling the scalp 
• Reducing product buildup
• Scalp detox of cinnamon powder, baking soda and olive oil.

Personally an ACV rinse works like magic for me. But I don't allow my scalp to get to that level which is why clarifying the scalp to avoid product build up regularly is important. For some people who are heavy handed with products, an ACV rinse is a staple on wash days. For others like me, it's more like every other wash day. 

So, over to you, how do you treat your itchy scalp? 

Does your remedy fall into the above category?
