Inspired by MzCJA, I put together herbs that are known to have astringent & emollient properties, some with one or the other or both to gently clean my over sebum/oil producing scalp. What I used are
1/2 teaspoon of each of the following dried herbs: Thyme Comfrey root Comfrey leaf Patchouli Nettle Chamomile flowers Burdock root Marigold flower also known as Calendula Horsetail also known as Shavegrass Hibiscus flowers Marshmallow root Coltsfoot Rose buds Irish Moss White Willow Bark Fenugreek Seed Powder 2 cups Aloe Vera Juice 1 tsp of Lavender flowers dried A few drops of cedarwood essential oil
Right now while I'm using this every other day sometimes every 3 days on my scalp, massaging it in then doing a long rinse in the shower. My scalp feels cleansed but not stripped. I've found to keep the itches and flakes under control I must cleanse my scalp at least every 5 days. It's been almost 1 month sense using this formula and I'm very pleased with the results.

You are welcome. Don't know if I mentioned it in the vid but I'm washing every 2-3 days right now too. If I try to go past day 5 my scalp starts to send me messages that the flake factory is going to ramp up production if I don't take corrective action soon. I can actually feel it. B4 I caught on to this I thought I had lice in my head or something! lol
You did mention that...I think I glossed over it. My scalp responds the same way! Do you think the frequent washes have slowed the locking process? Thats one of my concerns if I loc my hair one day because I hear from various women that frequent washes can do that.
Just the opposite. They started condensing faster when I started rinsing daily in the summer. I often wonder if I had done that when I first started locking Aug 08 they may have all locked and lost the braid pattern b4 month 12. My locs have seemed to transform more in the last 5 months of minimum 4 times a week washing than the 1st 5 months of weekly washing & spritzing. That's the great thing about interlocking/latching for maintenence and starting out with braids or interlocs.
