Scalp Care
First let me say that my scalp is covered totally by psoriasis therefore I may have mentioned I've shaved my head. I already had the wigs since the psoriasis stopped my hair from growing, not to mention the fact that when I washed my hair it would come out in clumps.You scalp must stay moisturized and oiled to prevent unsightly flakes on clothing and uncontrollable itching.
Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse
After washing your hair using your choice of shampoo I suggest you do a Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse. Perhaps you've heard this or read it somewhere but haven't gotten around to trying it. As with everything else I tell you to research before trying and only do if you feel comfortable after doing research.
Tools
Measuring Cup
Ingredients
Apple Cider Vinegar
Fill cup (measuring) up to 0.5 of apple cider vinegar and rest with water. Poor over your head and message into scalp. I let it sit to the count of 50, rinse with cool water then apply solution again. Again message into scalp, let sit for a count of 50, then a final rinse with cool water.
I do this every other day for 2 weeks, then break for a week or so then start over.
Continued Scalp Care
Mixed into Hair Grease
Hair Grease I use (Blue Magic Coconut oil hair conditioner)
1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
3 drops of African honey
5 drops of Tea Tree Oil
5 drops of Patchouli Oil
Mix it together and your good to go.I use this mixture at least 3 to 4 times a day
Oils Used Alone
Tea Tree Oil, Vitamin E oil, Patchouli Oil, Virgin Olive Oil, Virgin Coconut Oil, Unrefined melted Shea Butter or Shea Butter Oil.
I use the Vitamin E Oil or Tea Tree Oil alone the most.
Hot Oil Treatment
I use (African Roy ale) Hot Six, this is a really great oil it can be used for scalp, body, nails, hair or bath.
Rub into palm of hand if you don't have a lot of hair, okay, if hair is 3inches long or less this will work. If hair is longer you may want to part your hair and squeeze oil onto your scalp then message into scalp, wrap saran wrap around your hair then go do what ever you need to do for 5 to 10 minutes. I leave it in longer than the instructions on the bottle because I'm not dealing with normal dry scalp or normal dandruff. It's made from plant herbs and oils and the most important it contains several oils good for fighting psoriasis. Some may op to sit under a hair dryer, that's totally up to you. As most things only you can judge what's best for you.
I realize that some of you aren't comfortable using all these oils, but unfortunately it's one sure way of fighting this disease to get it to a manageable point.
As always I urge you to research everything before trying it.
Good Luck
