MY SCALP!!!! ARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!

Ok, so my BELOVED ghee is causing my scalp to flake. I think it is the conditioner ingredients that are the culprit. By this, I mean the Behentrimonium methosulfate and the cetyl alcohol. Those products work wonderfully in my hair as a detangler, but they should not be left in. Having said that, I think my alternative would be a "hair grease" type of product. I ordered some of "Sophia's Old-fashioned hair grease". It was a toss up between that and La'Vida Given by Nature's ginger and berries. There was a couple of reasons why I did not order that product. 1) PRICE. 2) Orange oil. I avoid that stuff like the PLAGUE!!! I hope I like this stuff because right now I am using B&B's "extra lite" hair grease. I like it okay, but I DO NOT Like using minera oil or petrolem based products on my skin. I hope it doesn't take very long to ship. Some online stores take a month! Other than the latest scalp issu, my hair is thriving, but greas DOES give it more shrinkage. Ahhh wellll.....

I was so sad when it caused your scalp to flake.
I hear ya about LaVida ginger and berries. I love her hair oils and she included a sample of the GJB
i loove it! It does not leave a greasy feeling, softened my hair but yes, the orange oil caused my scalp to itch but not as much as oyin's...

she told me that she will consider an unscented alternative...
anyways, did you know that MJ11051 from nappturality(she also participates in the qhemet thread) is launching her own hair line soon. Talk to her...she's sending out samples to testers and who knows??
