Wow I just came from Ghana and I brought back some black soap. I never knew to use it on the hair. This will be great for my daughter. Her hair flakes a lot.
Yesssssssss I used to scratch my grandma scalp and she would fall asleep while I doing it, she was Cherokee Indian so I just LOVED 🥰 playing in her hair, it was so long and silky and all grey just beautiful 🤩 but she was mean as hell I guess she was tired of kids by the time the grandkids came cause she had 12 of her own and raised 5 of her grandkids to lol 😝
@@preciousrobinson3435 just reminding me of her and as I was was remembering things came to mind and I wrote it out. Try it maybe it could help you. Praise God 🙏🏾
Humble suggestion: Wear gloves when you scratch dandruff out if clients hair. Plenty of fungi or bacteria can live on the scalp or in the flakes. Even if the client is super clean, otherwise
@@britgaddislmfao...yeah you do. Don't embarass yourself like that. Gloves need to be used. PERIOD! With your nasty self. I am a licensed Esthetician so I know what I am talking about.
Also the use of too much oil on the scalp. If you already have a oily scalp and keep adding oil you’re creating too much sebum and create dermatitis. Also sweat and moisture causing yeast to build up on the scalp. Dandruff is yeast
As a retired stylist of 25 years I always used Nizoral on my former clients with scalp issues. Also Seabreeze, or the original Brown Listerine prior to shampoo works wonders to lift those flakes .
Thank you for not shaming your client. My oldest has psoriasis and she is painfully insecure about her scalp flaking. We have tried everything. Everything. I’m sure this felt so good for your client!!
Try the African black soap. I’ve been using dove itch and after several washes it’s working pretty good. Most stuff I used didn’t work. I have the black soap and haven’t yet tried it. Maybe one of these suggestions will work. ❤
Olive oil worked wonders when I was struggling with heavy dandruff. Massage the oil in the scalp and leave it for a few min. I’ve previously tried all shampoos, my hair wasn’t even dry yet I could see the dandruff after a hair wash day, it was so embarrassing and honestly I felt super insecure.
Diet makes a big difference....my son had it but quit eating bread and starchy foods. He uses Dermarest shampoo after dry cleaning the scalp and rinsing with apple cider vinegar/ water mix.
@bundantleigh Doing something for yourself and that includes going to the salon, spa, the gym is a part of self care as someone who is in the mental health profession. Self care is not to be taken literally as if it is something that you are doing by yourself. You can go to a restaurant as part of self care etc relax from your work week, it doesn't necessarily mean your going to the back of the kitchen to cook the restaurant food your self.
It is when you let the right person do it. You'll fall asleep. Now, you'll wake up looking like you fell asleep during a snow storm......but you sleep good though 🤣
I had similar dandruff (maybe worse). I was told by my doctor that it was caused by stress so I chopped off my long hair, watched my diet, drank alot of water, rested and filtered my thoughts (entertained positive thoughts mostly), the dandruff left. It's been 3 years and my sculp is clean.
Yes 100% go for Nizoral I just found out about Nizoral as well has helped soooooo much for my Seborrheic Dermatitis also if you get it on your face go for Penaten medicated cream (for diaper rash) can be used on a various amount of skin conditions
@@dynasty2121Right. For the face use yeast infection cream like Moniconazole, Clotrimazole, or Triamcinolone. All of them clear yeast infections on the scalp (seborrheic dermatitis), ringworm, jock itch, and athletes foot.
Does it burn or make you feel lightheaded? I had a shampoo and oil from the dermatologist I had to stop using because it gave me headaches, I’m pretty sure it was from the steroids in it though
😂that’s crazy. I’m sorry that happened to you but no, I don’t think nizoral does that. I used to use it as well and it does work. Dry your scalp properly, use that toner thing if possible, let the scalp breathe for a few minutes, then use some sulfur 8 as instructed and you should be fine👍🏾
This is Seborrheic Dermatitis. It’s an auto immune disorder. I have had it before and anything can trigger it. This needs to be treated by a dermatologist. It will go into remission. It must be hereditary because my Daddy has had flare ups as well. I have only had two flare ups and was in remission for 17 years. Then had another flare up in 2014. It took me about 8 mths to go in remission again. Been in remission ever since. But she needs treatment for this. These home remedies will take care of it for a few days. But it will come back. When I’m in remission I use a scalp scrub once a week as a maintenance. Keep your scalp moisturized and healthy. Hope this helps someone. This disease is so embarrassing and torturous.
Sorry but seborrheic dermatitis isnt actually autoimmune. Urs may be triggered by an autoimmune disorder that you have but people can have it without an autoimmune disease. It is just due to an overgrowth of malassezia which is a fungus that is naturally found on peoples skin. Its the same idea as bv or a yeast infection. Your natural flora is over growing.
I had this, too, until I cut my carbs down less than 50grams a day. When I increase carbs, it all comes back. This also cuts out gluten, so it may be related to that, too.
Dandruff is simply flaking of the scalp as it is dry and itchy and that is what we see. Psoriasis is more of the scalp being dry, itchy, RED-sore, and covered in silver scales…. Ma’am
Anyone can have dandruff but I suspect she has psoriasis, hopefully she has healthcare and can get it checked out by a dermatologist. It breaks my heart when I see people suffering from Eczema or Psoriasis but can not afford to get treatment due to lack of health coverage.@@jamahlscarlett8787
@@lm4124My daughter (19 yrs old) has it she's been diagnosed at age 4 and her doc described it as "an adult form of cradle cap". Well, she has an Rx shampoo but it makes her hair soooo dry & stiff. I try not to use it , although, I use the Sulphur 8 products. She has very long, thick, waist length hair. I've noticed it getting better once we decided to completely go natural at age 12 no more kiddie texurizers, etc. I've always kept braids in her hair, since a child; I've noticed for her with cornrows she was having a heck of a time with the sebboric dermatitis, however, with box braids her scalp breaths better & her scalp feels & looks better.
@@lm4124I had seborrheic dermatitis really bad... flakes so large that they looked like big pieces of skin when you took them out. I was treated by a dermatologist and am good to go now
@@ashanova9610apple cider vinegar. Use cotton balls to apply to scalp and don’t rinse. You will see improvement same day also pay attention to what makes it flare like I can only use castor oil with no issues olive oil and mineral oil makes mine flare. Just Reg castor oil I get mine from Walmart in the pharmacy section by the laxatives. Hope that helps 😊
So dandruff is dead skin. When you use chemicals -esp those prone to burn the scalp, the skin dies quicker, so that’s why when you stop the chemicals the dandruff improves 😊
Rosemary herb, mint herb, and capsule of apple cider vinegar in water to low simmer. Then strain and massage into scalp. Put on plastic cap for 15 mins then rinse and shampoo
I have to do this at least once or twice a month for my niece. Ketoconazole shampoo, castor oil on the scalp, and baking soda and apple cider vinegar all important to keep it to a minimum. As satisfying as it is to comb out its such an inconvenience for the person dealing with it.
Dandruff this bad needs a visit to the Dermotologist. Some people have severe dandruff that only a doctor can manage on a regular basis with prescriptions and special shampoo.
I see this video was posted in July - I hope she has found a solution by now. ❤ If not, my friend looked into her diet and found the culprit of her dandruff and eczema was too much dairy. Some people need to significantly cut back on sugar and carbs for their skin concerns, but unfortunately, there is not going to be a single tried and true answer that works for everyone. It also depends on the type of dandruff - oily flaking, dry flaking, or both. What she struggles with on the rest of her skin, especially her face, can be a great indicator as to the needs of her scalp (if her makeup slides around, she most likely has oily dandruff... if she struggles with dryness on her cheeks and cracking on her lips and hands, she probably has dry flakes). I hope her dermatologist is open to second opinions/consulting other experts. I cannot imagine how uncomfortable her scalp feels with so much buildup. 😢
That is unsurprising. Generally, black people should err on the side of caution when it comes to dairy. There was a study done a few years back that showed as much as 2/3 of black people (African Americans specifically I believe) had some level of dairy sensitivity. Compared to maybe 1/3 white Americans. And the skin is often the first place where inflammation and imbalances visibly manifest. The number of skin complaints my dermatologist friends have seen go away just by giving up dairy is unreal. Of course, there are many more causes than just dairy, but that’s an easily executable fix for most people. I also strongly recommend an anti microbe shampoo like head and shoulders or selsun blue applied directly onto the scalp and left to sit for a few minutes. They can be fairly harsh but can really help with sloughing off the bacteria that speed up the scalp turnover process, and are particularly useful just before putting in a long term protective style. True African black soap works well. And Rosemary, mint, tea tree, and especially clove essential oils diluted in a carrier oil are amazing as a treatment as well
My daughter also has a condition where she has flakes ( yeast growth) on her scalp. She sees a dermatologist and is prescribed a cream, scalp oil, and shampoo.
Relaxers was a culprit for me...had it sooo bad but, Nizoral is the best. In 3/2012, I went natural!!! Much better now & I already was eating a healthy diet. It was the Relaxers which my Dad who is a dermatologist was trying to tell me.
Repent from your sins, for Jesus is coming back. He’s loves u and wants a relationship with us. Turn to God and accept the free gift of salvation before it’s too late. I send my Love and blessings ❤️ Romans 5:20 God’s law was given so that all people could see how sinful they were. But as people sinned more and more, God’s grace became more abundant JESUS IS COMING! REJOICE AND REPENT! JESUS LOVES YOU ALL! REPENT AND TURN TO HIM BEFORE ITS TO LATE!
True. But also externally. I got an abscess on my wisdom tooth, they gave me antibiotics and did an extraction a week later. Normally antibiotics give me yeast infection...NOPE. This time, I got an overgrowth of melassazzia furfur and my head was sore, itchy and horrible. Antifungal shampoo and oils cleared it right up lol, funny story!
I'm surprised & pleased to see a stylist actually preparing the client's hair/scalp for a protective style. Everyone I know who gets a Sew-in has to show up already shampooed/prepped & a lot of them don't even cut/style the Sew-in! 2 friends have to go to a totally different stylist for that! They still get charged $350 - $400 for that Sew-in though 🤦🏽♀️.
Hi, I am not a doctor. My daughter had this same problem but way worse. I used equal parts of honey and cinnamon and applied to her scalp. I let it stay on about 30 minutes then wash it out completely. I did this for 3 months. This was over 10 years ago and her scalp has been fine since then.
Another traditional belief i ever heard is if she uses various hair center ( different stylist or where she patronize) this can linger for long, then herbal Black soap rich in aloe vera, during each wash. Then a sulphur base cream. Very surprising if ahe in Nigeria ( wawu detergent and warm water could help) after seeing your doctor for some in take as seen up here in chats, or pls maintain a low cut like mine where u can pour water daily.
Def go to the dermatologist! I have this and was prescribed a special shampoo to use three times a week and a topical solution to use if it’s ever really really bad and WOW. Literally a week later my hair was almost dandruff free and I have NEVER seen my scalp so clear and flake free I wanted to cry. Please please see doctors and stop trying to “scrape” it out of your hair it’s not helping and you can irritate your scalp more and damage folllicules. it’s a fungal thing
Smart girl. Sadly cosmetologist should know the difference between dandruff and, dermatitis psoriasis and other scalp issues but they don’t( they did cover this in school)! Scratching it is a no and especially using same comb in different spots on scalp further spreading it and not wearing gloves! Glad you went to dermatologist
some people don't understand parasites and mites and how to simply clean your pores.theyre like a bean bag stuffed with one way out.through the pores.and no gloves can spread dermatitis to her own hands then the next client and so on.yuk yuk maam
and a sew in is the reason her scalp so nasty. I had a friend didn't know how to French braid curl hair do weave or nothin..she wore them taped on weaves and sew ins.always asking me if I could scratch her milky sour smelling scalp.lap full of literally green scalp boogers(mite shit decomposing).
I battle with this. It’s not dandruff but possibly yeast buildup. Tea tree oil makes it worst. This needs to be treated from the inside out through meds and also what she’s eating.
@@TailsTheFoxEdits21 I’m not sure if you misinterpreted “from the inside out” and decided to comment that about the comb but I thought what I was saying about treatment was pretty clear. What was being said is that dermatologist can prescribe oral meds to treat certain conditions. Possibly this one if it’s properly diagnosed.
Scratch but not deep,she is actually just lifteing the flakes not really scratching scalp,she didnt harm anything 🤷🏿♀️.....but she also knows her client
Psoriasis and if she has a relaxer it will never go away!! I suffered with this for years until I stopped wearing my hair relaxed. I have yet to see the psoriasis once I went natural.
This is not dandruff...it's psoriasis Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition, while dandruff is a mild form of seborrheic dermatitis. Both scalp psoriasis and dandruff can cause red, scaly, flaky patches of skin on the scalp, but they are different conditions. Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes red, scaly, thick, and flaky skin. Be careful how you treat it because the treatment i used stopped my hair growth and my scalp felt dead.
As I reading and seeing this the Word, (psoriasis) kept coming to mind,I've only known 1 person who had this condition,it was a itchy,"scratch my head" demand always! Professional care is a must!!Send this person to a skin Specialist asap!
I love scratching up dandruff. Especially, when you get a big flake that doesn't crumble. It just all comes up as one. Aaaaaaahhhhh..... good stuff man, good stuff.
She need to see a dermatologist because that is seborrheic dermatitis. She’s in taking too much dairy or flour products which causes a bacteria to sit on her scalp. Scrapping the scalp makes it works and makes it spread. Changed my diet over 20 yrs ago and never had an issue since then. And her having weaves only makes it worst.
This kind of mess is caused by eczema and mold. My daughter gets it once in a while. I found that shampoos with no sulfates or unnecessary additives bring on the eczema. The dandruff after that was caused by her hair not completely drying at the root. This is not just a black girl problem. My daughter has super thick Mexican hair but soft and curly like mine. You should also get a water softener cartridge for the shower head and a clarifying shampoo set. Malibu C is awesome. I have to use the hard water/ mineral removal kind. Chicago water. My hair wet from straight, snarly and stiff while breaking off to soft, curly and pretty in one week.
I use a silicone scalp scrubber and a shampoo specific to scalp psoriasis that has tea tree oil in it. It helps a lot. I hope this lady's dermatologist helps her with her scalp issues. That seems uncomfortable and difficult to deal with.
I found out from my babies pediatrician that it is fungal and it is oral medication and topical they can take also it can be the person diet and something in that diet they are allergic to❤
I literally just said something like this, as a over 10+ years Licensed Esthetician that has worked with many hairstylists, massage therapists, chiropractors, nurses, etc. Thank you for confirming what has been proven although this may or may not be this professional's clients' issue. Definitely something worth looking into though.
About the dandruff scratching, its not recommended by dermatologists because it can irritate and expose tender skin under flakes, making condition worse. There is a safe way to do it, because the flakes can be problematic and you cant wash your hair every day. - Always use gloves - Only gently remove what you need to. - Apply proper treatment / oil / cream The only flakes you should be removing, are the ones that have already come loose and are stuck in the hair strands. Take it easy though because people dont always know and Im sure stylist means no harm. In fact she thought it best for her client.
You are right. I graduated from Cosmetolgy school 35 yrs ago and even then scratching the scalp was not acceptable. That's where learning about the diseases and disorders of the scalp in class comes in handy.
True. But the dye in the yellow cheese makes the inflammation worse. It makes those prone to acne suffer more too. White potatoes are also a culprit Amazon has a probiotic lemon soap that helps tremendously for both skin and scalps skin problems.
@@-love-life3267 Yes that’s right, the annato seed. Even though it’s a natural food dye, I did read a while back that some people actually break out in hives because of it. Thanks for the reminder. I’ll try the lemon soap too! I don’t have eczema issues anymore since I changed my diet 10 years ago but I love the idea just for healthy skin maintenance. Thank you!😊
A trichologist❤ she needs to see one. I promise it will help. The one I saw showed me a microscopic image of my scalp before and after treatment. And she also did a scalp ph test on me. The numbers went down to a normal range. ❤
I just found one in my area. The trichologist was able to help your scalp? My derm prescribed me ketoconazole shampoo and fluocinonide and it ate my hair up 😓
@@KmclemoreI’m using nizoral. It helps but I still need to wash my hair frequently. About to start juicing and hope my diet also helps change the outcome on my scalp. I’m still getting help with my scalp.
@@KmclemoreI didn’t use that. My dermatologist prescribed that but that was a white person, no offense she didn’t take into consideration my hair cannot handle that so I only used it one time. That’s all.
Scratching damdruff and having it scratched was therapeutic to me. Dont jusge. My grandma, said I would just go into peoples head like digging into a ditcch. 😅🤯😂🙏
Honestly the best advice I’ve gotten is from my hair stylist. She told me to work from the inside out. Drink more water 🤗 it helped lol. Ya girl was dehydrated.
95% of these folks have NO IDEA what they are doing but, we support them with our views ad comments. And, then to add a sew-in??? Oh, boy.@@user-zx5xw4yw2e
This is seborrheic dermatitis, not dandruff. The flakes need to be lifted up/ scratched up prior to shampooing the hair. If not, the flakes will still be present. I’ve had this scalp condition and I know from experience.
To fix that problem you must blow dry her scalp every time she sweats, or any water in the scalp, the scalp must be totally dried from water or sweat, or it turns into a fungus and keep it oiled with 100% natural oils like, jojoba oil, vitamin e oil, or tea tree oil, 👍🥰
I have dandruff similar to this and I do see a dermatologist... I have eczema and there are alot of different causes of dandruff. She just needs to find what works for her. What works for me is no weave or wigs and shampooing twice a week and more oils than other hair products
