Thank you for sharing. Indeed we need more representation.
I am an African woman with 4C type of hair and I've had symptoms of seborrhoeic dermatitis for over 10 years but it's not really been so much issue because I've been cutting my hair all this while. Throughout high school and college as well as my internship, I wore my hair cropped to the scalp and washed it everyday while bathing so it was not much of an issue until few years back when I started growing my hair and started braiding my hair.
Then I noticed severe itching and scaliness. It was so bad that when I made braids using hair extensions, I'd have to go to the salon and have them wash the braids: hair extension and all trying to get those scales off my scalp and reduce the itching but after sometime I made peace with myself that using hair extensions was not for me. That was even before I went at the dermatologist.
My scalp regimen prescribed by my dermatologist is twice weekly washing of my hair with antifungal shampoo.
So that's what I'm doing now and my scalp has been quiet since then; no itching.
If maybe I am so busy I'm not able to wash the hair one or two days beyond the mark, I start itching again and the scales start showing up.
But here's the downside which made me start searching online for people who have similar condition. I can't make, for instance, corn rows and wear them comfortably for more than one week. If I decide not to wash, within one week or by one week the scales build up and they are so visible which is quite embarrassing and of course, my scalp gets itchy too
But if I wash, the hair style just tears apart; it becomes very rough and I'd have to loose the hair and make another one.
I also noticed my hair doesn't seem to be growing anymore and feels dry most of the time since I started twice weekly washing.
After washing, I apply my leave in hair conditioner - mega growth - and hair cream - hair milk (the natural hair type; I learned there is a different type for wigs) - but I was looking to see the recommended hair cream or oil for this condition due to the dryness and poor growth I've noticed.
I am finally learning to wash my natural hair once a week with seborrheic dermatitis. Long story no fragrance in my hair products cause it irritates my scalp or some oils feed the yeast on my scalp. Please also note that it can affects our face/eyebrows too.
Thanks for sharing. I do have SD as well, and I say do not feel uncomfortable for having tried various different products. It comes with the territory. It takes a while to find what works. I literally did the big chop at one point because I have a lot of hair, and my scalp needed some air. I have recently found DHS Zinc shampoo to be amazing. I found it on accident at CVS Pharmacy. It works.. I also spotted it on Amazon.
Rucker Roots (a black owned business) also has some great natural products. I use the serum on my scalp and their moisturizer for my hair. In between my DHS shampoo, I use Rucker Roots' shampoo and conditioner. Best my scalp has ever been. I recently started applying vitamine E to my scalp as well I am now trying to regrow. Wish me well on that one.
Good luck dear
i really appreciate this video 😇people w/natural hair and scalp issues don’t get enough rep
Hey girl, thank you for sharing your experience. I’ve always had mild flaking all my life (I learned that diet affects scalp health esp with SD sugar/yeast makes it worse bc fungi LOVES yeast and creamy/damp/oily environments)
I will say my diet wasn’t the best so now that I look back at it, that is what was causing my mild flaking-I had to wash my hair every week due to this. I couldn’t understand how people could go 1 month. When I went natural and started eating cleaner/being more active I noticed that now my scalp was able to go 1 month without washing! And that was great for 1.5 years UNTIL I used aloe Vera on my scalp (which is discovered I’m allergic to) and now I have this more irritating and flaky scalp that flares up within a week only In the area that I put it in
So now, I’m back to square one, my protective regimen is ruined because I can no longer do box braids and leave them in for 3 months.
I started using Nizoral shampoo and just let my hair be dry. My hair still loves leave in and grease but butters?? SD loves butters. So my biggest challenge now is to find a protective style that can be cleansed regularly without getting frizzy or messy AND a product that does not exacerbate the flaking.
Ps: There is a natural hair RUclipsr named EfikZara that talks about SD which gave her a bald spot. She talks about natural hair growth and managing the condition ☺️
Thank you so much for sharing
Thank you for making a updated video about how you manage SD. I also have SD and lately my scalp has been super dry and flaky. I also have used Sulfer 8 and the scent is very strong, but there is a lighter version. 💜
This video is gold for me. Thank you !🤍 please share alternatives for Sulphur 8 that have worked for you. S8 is too harsh for my scalp 😢
