Me, My Dreds and my Scalp part I

This is my first you tube video!!! It's me rambling about starting locs with seborrheic dermatitis and how I maintain them so far. I talked way too long so this is only part I. Part II is even more rambling! Enjoy.

Well is the dandruff on your scalp or in your hair? I don't use any product b/c i don't want buildup on top of my dandruff to try to remove, and when i used coconut oil on my loose hair i noticed it left build up. I don't know about the other products. I would try doing another wash using some anti dandruff shampoo. I know that if I wash my hair 4-5x/wk, I can keep the dandruff under control much better than washing 1-2x a week. Keep working w/it..it took a while for me to get a routine i liked.

Ketoconazole 2% shampoo; tar shampoos may be equally effective; If these do not work, then the old standard, 3% sulfur precipitate and 2% salicylic acid in an oil-in-water base is effective; this must be properly compounded. Also, 12.5% hydrocortisone cream daily will work, but patients should be monitored for signs of atrophy. 1% pimecrolimus cream and 0.03% tacrolimus ointment are safe and effective.

Thanks. The Neutrogena shampoo is 3% salicylic acid and honestly..i haven't been really impressed with it while I have locs. I loved it when my hair was loose though. I will try the creams.

To all of you who have it, please look forward to natural treatment, do not used medicine or shampoo with ingredients that can damage your liver and other organs,

Thera- cream double strength works perfect for me, and I dont poison myself with this unpronounceable products.

you should check out Desaundrea's channel. She has made an all natural soap for a friend who suffers from SD and she sells them on Etsy. Her vids are very informative as far as things you can use to help with the symptons and she explains them in detail. My daughter has SD and yes it is an ordeal. good luck

i'm just posting this comment for the good of the whole. if you can, consult a dermatologist because sometimes OTC products don't work as well in bad flare ups & U may need some Rx's. i was prescribed: loprox shampoo, derma-smooth scalp oil and beta-val ointment. i think after i finish my treatments with those, i'll be able to control it w/ OTC and natural remedies. glad i'm not the only natural w/ this condition. best wishes to all. :-)

You're the first person I've seen with seborrhea and locs. I've wondered if you could have locs with that condition (I have seborrhea as well) cause you have to wash the scalp so often. Thanks for sharing!

have you tried the t-gel shampoo? before i locked my hair i used it all the time b/c it got the flakes off of my scalp really well.
