Easy Fix: How To Relieve An Itchy Scalp | I Made Myself Bleed smh 

Even if u dip it in vinager?

They talk about it so people can know how to fix it

I just found out it's because of what the manufacturers coat the extension hair with. This substance causes unbearable itching. I'm about to write to manufacturers. We all should. Make them re think the product. It's harming people. Not okay!

Additionally, I DONT WANT TO HAVE TO DIP/RINSE THE HAIR in vinegar solution every time. I tried that last night and I know that's not me. I don't have the patience to be washing all those packs of hair each time. Naaaaa Bruv! 😾

ndèye khoudia ndiaye facts

We in this together sis! Everything was fine yesterday and I took out my scarf this morning and was shook by all the flaky skin!! I don’t thing the hair is my problem the lady braided them wayyyy to tight

Crowned In Beauty sis 😩 yes it’s like mine . I keep saying flaking. What did you use to remove the flake sis Z

N.Sue-Ann I gently lifted the flakes off my scalp so I don’t mess up the braids and applied sulfur-8 to my scalp! Sulfur-8 literally saved my life and reputation lol. I apply it two times a week and I apply Jamaican Mango&Lime island oil ones a week

I have exactly the same experience here

OMG!!! me too...and I'm DYING rn😭😭😭

sweetiepye0331 I always wondered why at night it itches the most 😣😣😣

Omfg YES AT NIGHT. I JUST WANNA SLEEP

Lol omg at night I be beatin my head and want to scream 😂😂 so I've learned I need to clean the chemical off the braiding hair first with apple cider vinegar or vinegar best tip I learned becauseeeee I used to dig in my scalp trying so hard not to ruin my work I spent a whole day on

sweetiepye0331 i agree, this happens alot when I get braids and it itches at night when im tryna sleep, and its happening right now😭😭

Selenaencarnation I did it twice before I installed the hair. Washed and conditioned several times and after three days of wearing it the Almighty itch began and I can't reach my scalp. Sigh

prxncesskaylaa thanks for the advice tho lol ig

Innov Ace oh my bad 😂 well maybe use sulfur 8 to help with dandruff since that might be the issue 🤷🏾‍♀️

prxncesskaylaa okay thanks

Innov Ace ong

Me atm, literally why I’m watching this video 😭

Th3lite right

Me too

Omg sameee

am watching this at 2am😭 my scalp is itching and burning and its only been a week🤕

Queen Leillah mine is also on fire keeps me up at night and it’s never happened so I’m worried now

Alexa lmao mood

Alexa me right now

Lmaoooo

Literally me rn 😫

Alexa omg same. It’s so frustrating

flutygal01 Is this for sew ins?

I have box braids.. i should've done this. I am itching LIKE CRAZY

Destinee Jones me too omggggg it's the worse!

Does it make the hair tangle?

This makes sense! I usually braid my own hair but decided to go to 1 of the African shops. When I braid it myself....no itching. I'm literally moisturizing twice a day to relieve the itch. It makes sense that if they are treating the hair it may be with something I'm allergic to. Thanks for the post

GIrlllllllllll. Now this is a great tip! Thank you for sharing :)

Janae Mason you're welcome girl! Oh yeah, I also kept those cut off legs as a "loc sock" kind of. The longer the braids are the harder they are to sleep with. When it was time for bed, I just placed the braids in loose/low pigtails and used the cut off legs to keep them together with a hair tie. Less stress on your roots and it's easier to lay on your back or side without the hair being everywhere. Cheap and multiple uses for the win

Jas W wow for real the best tip to cleanse scalp and not mess up the braids. God bless you girl.

She could also do a acv rinse using this method. I think for alot of us why braids are itchy the first few weeks is the dye. The acv tends not to let my hair frizz as much

So to be clean you put the shampoo On top of the stockings?

Right my hair be itching like crazy during the night like why

Try soaking your hair in warm water with a mix of apple cider vinegar

@@sweetener5200 the smell of apple cider goes out once hair is air dried... make sure to fully dry your hair. the smell comes from dampness... so just ensure your hair is dry and then use a pomade on your scalp...

My Family Fixed This - Naturally: 1. Wash your hair with Sulfur 8 shampoo, using a silicone scalp massager. 2. Let it dry naturally. Be sure to blot the excess water with a brand new towel or one that you have never used on your hair / body before. 3. That night, SMOTHER your entire head with Vaseline - wrap it in a scarf and sleep that way. Why? The easiest, most 'natural' way to kill the yeast / candida and anything else that is living on your scalp which is what is probably happening - in a matter of minutes - is to simply smother it - NO OXYGEN means no ability to breathe, thrive, grow or survive. 4. The next morning, mix bentonite clay, apple cider vinegar and tea tree oil (whatever ration you want...it really does not matter) into a bowl (do not use a metal spoon when mixing clay - use plastic or wood only). SMOTHER your scalp with the clay, let it dry then just sit under the shower and let it rinse off until the water runs clear. You may need to do this a few times to get all of the Vaseline off of your scalp and hair - but you'll see that you've just 'killed' the yeast when not one hair follicle itches. Repeat weekly, or as often as you need to and be sure to hot wash with white vinegar and baking soda all of the bedding, towels, clothing and anything else that it may be living on. (fyi never mix bleach and vinegar). We tried this - and it literally solved the problem overnight. If there is a new issue we just repeat the process. Good luck and God Bless!

And I happen to have both of them at home... Thanks

How’d it go ladies?

@@rarity-bo8pkthey both ran away

Me too😭

Me too!!!😩😩😩

Me rn. I’ve only had it for 2 days and my scalp is on fire. Idk why but when I put my bonnet on and in bed it like starts itching then burninf

@@gailbail060 Because you probably have a lot of bacteria and candida on your scalp. The bonnet creates a heat barrier, and the raised temperature causes the bacteria to stir. Below I've replied with the remedy passed down from my grandmother that saved our family for decades from this problem naturally - I'll repost it again here for you in the next reply. Please give it a try - if it does not work you'll only have invested in a few natural products that can be repurposed and if it does help you, you'll have solved your problem naturally for life. Good luck!

So relatable like tbh I thought I was the only one

Princess Nomcebo omg same!!

Me too 😣

This is exactly what brought me here.Uughh 😩😩. It’s so annoying. I thought I should just take them off🤦🏽‍♀️

GUYS! it's the Hair!!! They coat the hair in some chemical to preserve it and this chemical is harming people. WE NEED TO CONTACT THEM AND DEMAND CHANGE or they don't get any more money from unsatisfied (and scalp-burned) customers. I swear my scalp feels chemically burned in areas. I had no idea it was the hair. I thought it was just my scalps' own issues. Scratching away like a ...... 😡

Tiffany Milligan OMG thank you I've been looking for someri don't have to rinse out. I have braids now they don't itch but my scalp is very flakey

It was late at night so I couldn't go buy anything lol but I do need to buy that the next time I get braids. My scalp felt better after doing the steps shown in my vid...praise the lord!

Tiffany Milligan that product is the bomb

Janae Mason Did you ever try the product suggested? If so how was it?

thank you will try this asap. my scalp is on fire...

lmfao, yo this the realest comment

Angel Nykol i feel u i never kept in in dor more than 2 weeks or i ll help myself with pin

Girrllll same here

JustA

I’m in that situation right now😫 I’m over it I’m gonna take it out , it itches like crazy girl

I’m in that situation and it’s only been 2 days since I got it done

xoKeasha nooooooo😩that sucks . All we want to do is be cute while wearing our protective style! And this kind of stuff happens. Smh and thanks for watching love !

Yes she is 😊

Way2goful I feel your pain

ME TOO

My braids are a week old now. I've been oiling my scalp twice a day and spraying my hair with oil sheen. This will be the last time I get braids unless I put them in myself. Not sure what they are using in the hair in the shops but it itches your scalp like crazy

Elizabeth Cook Then the itching could be from dry scalp issues, which is pretty normal in protective styles because the scalp is always exposed and not covered up like when you have your natural hair out. But you might also be allergic to the braiding hair itself. Try yarn braids. Best decision I've ever made. My braids look more even, because the yarn is so much easier to work with than nasty ass extension hair, it's lightweight, my hair feels super moisturized when I take the braids out after one or even _two_ months, AND there's no itching from the hair at all. Only itching I get is if my scalp is dry, like I said, in which case I just use some diy scalp oil to moisturize my scalp and hair. And I spray my braids every single day with some water mixed with cheap store bought conditioner and peppermint oil. My hair has never felt healthier. Try it, I can vouch for this 100%!

@@C.C-e4n are you lightly spraying it at night? Wrapping it as well with a scarf? Thanks for the tips

Memoir Young also It’s the alkaline lye chemicals they use on the weave. Dip your weave in a sink full of water and one cup of ACV... if already installed wash your braids as good as possible.

Hey girl hey! Thank you for that tip. What braiding hair do you prefer?

Janae Mason expressions works fine for me as long as it's not on my scalp HAHA

HaiDera Hollins okay cool. So like you said just next time don't get it to the scalp. Thanks girlllll

Just soak the hair. I promise it will stop all of the itching.

Gurl w/ Kinks&Curls soak it with what?

Ebony!!!! Girllllllll. It is cray! What oils did you mix together?

Janae Mason it really is !! Braids are not suppose to be this much of a pain 😂 but I mixed peppermint, tea tree, olive oil, sweet almond, & avocado oil. I apply it to my hair whenever I feel the urge to scratch.

Allergic to weave....💀💀💀💀she's probably allergic to the coating on that braiding hair but not weave in general

Joanne Goodrich has soaking it in vinegar worked better for you?

Yes indeed!

Joanne Goodrich will it tangle the hair?

Joanne Goodrich will it make my braids frizzy ?

addison .4479 it’s best to do the soak on the kanekalon/synthetic hair prior to installing them :)

😭😂

🥰😘🔥🤣🤣🤣

Quijuandas whatever Spray they put on it is deadly lol it ain't fair. But next time around I'm soaking the hair first

This shite sending me crazy😢

I used that type for the first time and its itching like crazy

Mmala Mokone ..... thanks, forgot about Sulfur8!! Going to get some today

Stephanie Wright do you guys use the sulfur8 medicated conditioner or the shampoo??

Min Syair ..... Never tried the shampoo or conditioner only the scalp conditioner (which now comes in a fresh scent).

Stephanie Wright yes that's what I meant, the medicated scalp conditioner. Is the bottle still yellow?

It. Smells. Awful 😷🤮

Wassup ARMY

Ayee black army

Stacey Taylor I only use my natural hair when doing individual twists. I am with you.

Marleen G. Yea I mentioned that. I said I should've did it before. But since I already had them in I had to do what I had to do. Trust me I learned from my mistake

Marleen G. Naptural85 has a video out on how she wash synthetic hair before she installed it. Thank you for being so transparent about your experience. Now I know how important, first had of washing store bought hair before putting it on my head.

Marleen G. Maybe her scalp is sensitive. I don't soak my extentions and they don't itch me.

girl i learned that i had sensitive scalp after that for sure lol going through it!

I watched her video. I watched plenty of videos lol but this itching attacked (I'm being dramatic lol) late at night. And girl i bought the hair like right before my hair appointment. I know next time though!

Chantel Watson girl it came out of no where that's why I was so confused and defeated lol but what I did and what I saw/read that people did really helped me

Did you do it half and half? I believe that would work well for detangling as well

Sulfur 8 works for me.

Danni Dee Hey girl! Yea I almost lost it! Lol thanks for watching love

Girl . I got the braids like before I came to the salon. I knew better 🤦🏾‍♂️ smh. I messed up
