i don't know why people don't talk about itchy scalp that much. it happens to so many people including me.
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
The itch in my braids brought me here 😩😩 I want to take them out and it’s only been a week😩😩
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😭😭😭
I think if anyone has ever had braids,we've been there. And the itch attacks at night are the worst! Thanks for being transparent and showing us your true self. We love you girl!
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
It’s night time bro and it’s so interesting how at night time, my braids itch like crazyyyyy.
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 😭
me at night : leave ur head alone and the itch will go away
Me a few seconds later: GO CRAZY AHHHHH GO STUPID AHHHH ... *heads lowkey bleeding , hoping I don’t cut my hair by myself*
Alexa lmao mood
Alexa me right now
Lmaoooo
Literally me rn 😫
Alexa omg same. It’s so frustrating
I found the easiest way to wash braids were with a 99 cent pair of stockings. Girl, I know, but trust me. Cut the legs off of the stockings and split your braids into two sections. Put the seat of the stockings over your head and used diluted shampoo to cleanse your scalp. The stockings keep your roots in place and helps the hair not curl up too much. Leave it there til your hair dries if you can and you're good to go. It works every time.
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?
I soak my synthetic hair in water and apple cider vinegar first before my install. I'm allergic to whatever they coat the hair in, it will completely stop the itching.
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
it’s only been...2 DAYS IM ALREADY BOUTTA TAKE EM OUT
Me too😭
Me too!!!😩😩😩
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!
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!
My braids had been in for 1 week and the itch is real. I put grease on it daily but it dries out quickly.
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
I recommend spraying apple cider vinegar in your scalp with a spray bottle let it sit for about five to ten minutes then put some sulfur 8 in all of your part lines it does wonders
And I happen to have both of them at home... Thanks
How’d it go ladies?
@@rarity-bo8pkthey both ran away
My head itches like CRAZY during the night😭I’m actually crying it got so bad I started hitting my head with a brush
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...

I’ve had my box braids for like a week, and they’re already itchy as hell, and I’m getting dandruff already💔💔
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🤦🏽♀️
You’re allergic. Soak the hair
MERCY LORD, THIS WOMAN IS BEAUTIFUL!!! I’m crying!!!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻😭😭😭
Yes she is 😊
I had this same reaction to braiding hair. It's a horrible experience. Starts off itchy and then burning. It's unbearable.
Ty'sBeauty omg yes I literally pat it barley dig my nails in it and try SoO much oil but for me nothin works
That his mines is now
Omg that’s the one omg 😩😩😩

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 ......
😡
Girl...My crochet braids right now are so damn itchy and my scalp isn't even dirty. So basically I went over board and went crazy on my scalp one day.. Then my scalp started burning and the scabs came...I can't take it anymore...
The itch in my braids brought me here and they are only 2days old😭.I am about to take them out
ME TOO
OMG, I promise I am going through the exact same thing. I haven't had braids in a long time and I don't think I will ever get braids again. My head is itching so bad, Sis I feel you! Bout to try your remedy, Thanks!
She made my hair itchy and I dont even have braids in
lmfao, yo this the realest comment
😂
Try Cantu apple cider vinegar root relief for when you wear braids it doesn't have to be washed out. That may help a lot.
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...
That TIL combo for itchy scalp is NO JOKE! it is so soothing and feels SO SO SO good. It also helps your braids smell very fresh
After vigorously itching my scalp, I applied a mix of coconut oil and peppermint oil and now I don’t feel the need to itch every minute. Such a relief 🤤.
dude my braids are itching so bad that i keep jumping out of my seat
IM GOING THROUGH IT RN
I would think heat also works, since pain and itch have the same receptors in the brain. If you have a blow dryer, or are in the shower, turn it as hot as you can stand and run it over the itchy spots. Should help if you don't have any kind of products.
I'm going through this exact problem except mine is a sew in, so I can barely get to my scalp 😭😭😭😭😭 I'm just gonna take it out 🙄 but I'm glad you feel better, that irritation is no joke 🙌🏽
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 !
lord Jesus, imagine if you would've got a sew in. THAT my friend is pure hell LOL!! the fact that you can't really scratch your itch lol in a sew in, wrecks my nerves!!
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
Girl, I feel this video. I don't wear braids or weaves because I must have full access to wash my hair. I got braids once paid lots of money and one week later I was cutting them out to wash my hair. My scalp is super sensitive. Head and shoulders help my scalp when it's real itchy.
Way2goful I feel your pain
To prevent that wash the braids in warm water and ask your stylist to not braid it so tightly also ask them to put some type of oil or moisturizer to apply to your scalp and it shouldn’t be a problem 😊💪🏾
Place ac vinegar on scalp.and cover with an heat cap for a couple minutes, then rinse before putting on products. It does help relieve itching and dandruff.
Girlllll-lah I feel you. I'm going through it rn. Synthetic hair and hair glue sets my scalp on fire after a week or two. About to do a ACV + Lemon Juice + Aussie Moist Shampoo mix to get this scalp back to normal. Black Castor Oil and Tea Tree/ Peppermint Oil works wonders too. Thanks for sharing.
Laaaaaaawd, this video was RIGHT ON TIME for me !!!! It is 9pm and my head is ITCHING Like You wouldn’t believe !!! Thank You Thank You Thank You !!!!
I believe a lot of people deal with itchy scalp, or scalp sores, just scalp problems, because some people don't know what they're dealing with, and it's crazy because when you have something going on there, it is detrimental especially when you have no clue what's going on and you keep facing the same problems and you feel defeated, because you feel you can't fix the problem. I'm Thankful for all the TH-camrs that are brave enough to help the next person that are facing problems that they have no clue on and are helping others that don't know. 🤷🏽♀️ ❤️♥️❤️
SOMEBODY HELP I GOT MY BRAIDS TWO DAYS AGO AND MY WHOLE HEAD IS SO ITCHY
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.
Wash the extensions before putting them in doing a acv rinse......there will be no itch at all 👌🏾
I learned that scalp braiding with braiding hair does that to me. No matter the brand (expensive or cheap) my scalp does the same thing! So this year I opted for box braids and realized those are the only kind that doesn't make me itch. This might be the case for you and I found out how common that is. Trust me when I say I tried all those remedies and none helped. Box braids might be the way for you.
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?
I missed the entire intro because I was scratching my box braids 🤦🏾♀️
😭😂
🥰😘🔥🤣🤣🤣
This is my first time ever having braid and this is an experience ‼️it hasn't been 5 days and every time I itch it it gets worse!!
It’s crazy because this is the first time I get box braids and it’s the first time I’ve experienced this intense itchy experience. I’ve always done my own hair with synthetic hair and it has never irritated me this much. I believe it’s the hair that the people in the salon use. Maybe it’s collecting dust. Also it could be the tightness and pressure they use when doing your hair.
I do this every other day with my box braids. Just to keep moisturized and a clean scalp honestly. But when i spray just the water only....let me tell youuuuuu...feels like heaven! Those scalp massages are key too!
I buy a soft bristle tooth brush, apply my dandruff shampoo & brush the parting areas. It feels great ...then I re-moisturize my scalp.
You're probably allergic to weave. I had to learn the hard way. I would get itching and burning and scabs everytime. Even if I washed and soaked the weave before it was installed. No amount of oil or washing would help me.
Allergic to weave....💀💀💀💀she's probably allergic to the coating on that braiding hair but not weave in general
I currently have box braids & scratched my scalp so much that I made myself bleed as well. When I tell you I want to snatch these braids out so bad ! Next week they will be coming out and I am not turning back! What I did to stop the itch was I created a mixture of different oils and just put it on my scalp and for the most part the itching has stopped. Oh but let me tell you, I will not be putting braids back in this head no time soon 🤦🏾♀️
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.

It definitely helps if you soak the hair in ACV luke warm for 5-10 mins before putting it in protective style
Hi, I don't know if anyone suggested this already, but washing your braids before you use them has always work for me. I soak mines in apple cider vinegar for 10 minutes then rinse with conditioner. The only oil that I used while in braids are sesame oil. It is good for that. I don't like the smell of sesame oil, but it works. Hope this helps.
It's not your scalp...its the chemical in the braids...soak ur braids in vinegar and water is a must...I'm very allergic to synthetic hair so I must do that process first
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 :)
Idk what it is but that kanekalon will have your scalp itching like crazy!
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
I like how i look with braids but the itching is just too much
I also use the sulfur 8 braid spray it doesn't have the same scent as the grease. It helps with itching
I’ve had braids on since Saturday and I’m about ready to cut them out!
It’s so frustrating, sometimes I get braids and before I know it it’s off my head cause the itching I get is unbearable.
Wassup ARMY
Ayee black army
OMG yesssssss Ugh I feel your pain girl Got my hair braided in feed ins last Friday and was ready to take these braids out the next day The struggle is real the itching and the burning like whyyyyyyy lol Thanks for the video
I'm was going through the same thing. I use tea tree oil.
I had this exact hair style done to my hair last week and it was so pretty but the itching was killing me. I literally had sores from scratching so bad. Unfortunately I took it out a few days later because I just couldn’t stand the itching, but I will definitely use this video for the next time I have braids.
You should try a shampoo brush. It really helps to break up that dandruff and deeply clean your scalp. It has really helped me. I used to have a burning scalp too, but this brush has helped me sooooo much. Try it!
This was so honest! Thank you for sharing!
Danni Dee Hey girl! Yea I almost lost it! Lol thanks for watching love
I like how real you are! Like talking to one of my home girls. Thanks for posting
You couldn't do faux crotchet locs. These things itch so bad, I almost gave myself a lobotomy! Thankfully I found out about Cantu ACV Rinse. It made a WORLD of difference! I follow up with Doo-Grow Anti-itch oil. I haven't tried the other Cantu ACV Refresh line products yet, but I've heard mostly good reviews, especially for the Dry Co-wash.
Sulfur 8.
I use Sulfur8 for dandruff. it works
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 😷🤮
I heard some people are allergic to certain braiding hair. You may have to figure out which brand you can use next time.
I took braids out after 2 days because the way my scalp was itching I really couldn’t take it , i was turning maaaaaaaddddd haven’t done my hair since cuz I’m not trying to throw out any more money
You are so pretty!!
Sistahs! I believe the itching from extension hair is simply our bodies telling us that it should not be in our heads. When you think about, where is it really coming from and can you trust to the source, you rethink it. I'm done with putting extensions in my hair!
Roxi Heart I think it depends on the person. I don't have an itchy scalp at all. It also isn't dry. Whenever I put in braiding happy, it never itches
Or SIMPLY the dye used on the braids which can easily be washed off with a acv rinse or shampoo. Where do you think the hair comes from?
Yep after all these year I found out I was actually allergic to weaves. My itching would be sooooooooo bad! I'd bleed and scab up. It was terrible.
Roxi Heart I've been having severe itching for the past 3 weeks or more. NEVER experienced that before, NOT to that degree. No weave, no braids here, ALL natural kinky 4c, lol. But I do like braids, and the last time I left it in for 4 months. Believe it or not, I've NEVER had an itching problem. But hey.,I guess you live and learn.
Sistahs! Itching is from the chemicals that they put in the extensions! Soak your extensions with vinegar and water for about half an hour then wash it out all the chemicals. The itching will stop!
Oh my gosh girl I know the feeling. Use head and shoulders clinical shampoo and they have a leave in as well and when I say that it's good, I mean soooooooo good that you would leave that style for 3 months....it's soooo awesome 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
It’s this hair style !!! I’ve had individuals and no itch but this hairstyle got me itching everyday I put oil all the time
Who else is iching their hair as they wash it
I used to have box braids and my scalp would itch but not badly as you described. Maybe your allergic to the hair your using.
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
Aww boo, once I saw the braiding video and the hair being took straight out of the pack I was cringing, but I thought maybe you would be ok. I'm glad you got everything under control though! Getting tho bigger braids was helpful and still looks super cute.
Girl . I got the braids like before I came to the salon. I knew better 🤦🏾♂️ smh. I messed up
I just got my hair done a few days ago and when I tell you I’m ready to take them out! My hair is itching so bad to the point I can’t sleep now I have scabs on my scalp from scratching and I have tiny bumps I’m taking this out I know I payed so much but I don’t want my hair to fall out 😩😢 never getting braids again ever!
I think you're supposed to wash the braids/extensions first in ACV mixed with water to get the products out that can cause this itching.
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!
I feel like ants r crawling on my head
Make sure your scarf or bonnet is cleaned and don't let your scalp get super dry get some type of oil and moisturize it every time you notice it is getting dry
I feel so bad that you went through this. I never experienced that with any extensions I've gotten.
I found out when I get braids I can't use fake hair, I have to use real hair. Once I put that together the Itch wasn't as bad.
Stacey Taylor I only use my natural hair when doing individual twists. I am with you.
Your a beautiful black queen and your hair is absolutely amazing 😍👸🏿
The hair has a coating on it that causes it to itch. If you soak the hair with vinegar and water you would see a film in the water. That is the film that comes off the hair that coats it. I soak all my braiding hair before using it you could have mixed the water and vinegar in a pitcher and let it run through your hair. I hope it helped. I love your videos.😘
Got my braids 2 weeks ago. Itching ever since. This video saved me lmao.
I got some aloe vera juice and apple cider vinegar put it in a spray bottle.. shook it up and sprayed it on the roots.... so great worked well.... stopped itching
Did you do it half and half? I believe that would work well for detangling as well
This time when I got braids. I made sure to moisturize my hair real good. I mean my hair was very greasy when I got my braids. I also had the dark and lovely AU Naturale length retention SOS nourishing scalp elixir. It helped me and I had no itching try to stay away from the oils that made me itch
Girlllllll , I feel your pain !!!!! I’m going threw the same thing right now . This is the first time I used weave in my braids and I’m miserable. I can’t sleep at all . I think the apple cider vinegar and washing my hair worked for me . Some what ! 😒
Sulfur 8 works for me.
I’m having this problem RIGHT NOW but I paid $225 for my braids n hair I’m going crazy 😜 I’m bout to pop some Benadryl I just can’t see myself saying screw my money
You know it’s also nice when someone touches your hair and I’d be like please rub your fingers in between the braids sooo soothing! I’m watching this & it’s midnight I cannot at this point!!!🥴
Natures Blessing hair pomade has majority of what you listed. I put that on my scalp and felt IMMEDIATE relief you have to apply twice though but the washing was smart my hair only starts to really itch with the bottom of it touches my scalp. So washing it like you said should def help 🙌🏽🙌🏽
I have dandruff, and I love like wearing box braids or Faux locks as protective styles for my hair but in like a week or so my hair starts itching and flaking out. I've learned that witch hazel which I basically just buy at the dollar store or TJ Maxx or anywhere you can get your hands on it.If you put it in the fridge for like a couple minutes and then you take it out and just dab it on the affected area it feels so good afterwards.
I just got braids for the first time and my scalp is so itchy. I already want to take them out and it hasn't even been a full week yet lmaooo. Only thing keeping me going is the positive feedback I'm getting about my new hairstyle lolll.
My scalp is itching really badly this time and it’s probably because I didn’t oil the braids/ my scalp but it’s never been this itchy before ughh
You're so beautiful 😍
Thanks for the tips cause knocking my head against the wall was next lol 😩
😂😂😂I already did that...
Its 11:49pm and my head is itching like crazy which lead me to your video and I just got my hair done today. I really don’t remember the itching part of getting braids and I get (box) braids ever 3 months for the past two years. I was ready to cry
Lordy I’m currently soaking in apple cider vinegar, my box braids were UNBEARABLY, UNBELIEVABLY itchy. I be never felt an itch like that before I was literally about to cry in frustration 😭 let’s hope this works. I’ve only had them in for 6 days. It’s also my first time ever getting box braids, my niece did them for me
I am going through this right now about to pass out. I just got my hair done a week ago and 2 days now. Omg!! Itchy burning. Thats why I am watching this now..
oh Jesus she said when she sprayed her scalp😭😭😭... I have eczema &Girl just be glad you don't have to deal with that ugh😢.....I know the video is about braids&all... But I don't wear braids or weave.. Just letting you know I can relate.... Your beautiful btw😍
I felt that “ohhh JESUS” when you sprayed your hair lol
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!
This is my first time getting braids. It’s been 3 days. I used apple cider vinegar, washed my scalp, put oil in and it still itches. Probably going to take them out tonight because I can’t bear it and I’m afraid of chemical burn and damage to my scalp and my curls 😭😭
Naptural85 uploaded a video about washing the artificial hair before braiding to stop the itching and she used white vinegar
I've never tried it nor have I ever used weave in my entire life but I know from experience that white vinegar is a great natural cleanser! Maybe try that next time!
On a side note I think it's great that you're sharing your authentic experiences with this hairstyle! Great video Hun!
this works , this happened to me i had an allergic reaction to the artificial hair so now I wash the hair before install with vinegar
Sis take these braids out!
It's Lexsisss I think she thinking about the money, I too wouldn't take em down😂poor thang
lmbo!!!
Sis. They are coming out very soon like in the next two days lol
Please do Lol. I had this happen and my scalp had scars. I had to take them out!!!
I forgot that your name is Janae lol I was scrolling through the comments and watching the video and once you said "wait Janae calm down..." I was looked up so quick😭😭 my name is Jennay also just spelled differently 😂
You’re so pretty! I’m in the same boat, my scalp is dying with these box braids in😫
I concluded some years ago that doing braids is not for me, even when I soak it in ACV. Ironically, I do braids for people too! But my hair itches less when it does not have products in my hair but can get dry. Some people are so lucky - they can do anything and their scalp isn't sensitive.
I always shampoo my natural hair and do the ACV rinse! It used to be torture
When my hair itches and I can't get in between to scratch it. I get a long bobby pin-open it and use it to scratch with LÖL! I leave it in my hair and hide it under a braid for quick usage.
Thanks So Much for the tips...My Scalp itches so badly every time I get braids; I was beginning to think there was something wrong with Me! I will be getting these products ASAP. My scalp is itching as we speak. Also My daughter's name is Janae as well!
