Itchy Scalp, Thinning Hair

Grrrr... Can't stand this itchy scalp a minute longer? I fully understand how you feel. My scalp has phases of itchiness and soreness which come and go in cycles over a day and build up in a week.
This meant that on my hair care journey I chose not to braid my hair or put any tension until I figured out what was going on.
My first priority was to find ways to keep my scalp clean and healthy. What does that mean? Washing every day? No way, No time for that!!
Researching on www.curlynikki.com and www.blackgirllonghair.com I found loads of help and information which I share with you now.
I adopted the no poo method and shampooed less and less until I stopped completely. So my washing routine includes using alternatives for cleansing. I am no veteran at this and continue to learn daily so what I am sharing is working for me now at this stage of health and growth for my hair.
I found that even though I used paraben, sulphate and cone free shampoos and conditioners they still caused my scalp to itch in a short time. By the end of the day after the whole intricate wash day system, my scalp would begin to tingle then move on to itch phase. Nappy hair not happy!
So I found that by doing an overnight pre poo on damp hair with a mixture of coconut oil and avocado oil using the baggy method ( cover hair with a plastic bag then with a satin scarf or bonnet).
Followed by a wash with coconut milk (qtr cup). 1 tsp each of avocado and wheatgerm oil and 1 tbsp aloe vera gel
Rinse with Apple Cider Vinegar ( purchased in the supermarket)
Damp dry with cotton tshirt
Seal ends with shea butter ( purchased on Amazon)
Braid or twist
Wrap with satin scarf
I spray daily with a water mix of aloe vera gel, rosemary essential oil and water with braids in.
Yeah, no itchy for 3 days now and my scalp has no redness, soreness or allergic reaction. It looks moisturised with a lovely sheen on it without heavy greasy feel.
A bonus beyond measure: the hair on my crown is growing, growing, growing.

Health benefits:
Coconut oil has a wonderful molecular structure that penetrates into our hair shaft providing lauric acid which reduces the loss of protein, strengthens the hair and replaces moisture. By leaving it on overnight, we allow it the time to benefit our hair. It can be used as a conditioner, dandruff treatment and to promote hair growth. Some take it internally as a supplement with awesome testimonies.
Avocado Oil has a wonderful fatty acid content which is super for dry and damaged hair. It is highly moisturising and well absorbed into the scalp and hair shaft. It can also be used directly, as part of a mixture and taken internally. Super Dooper Oil!
Aloe Vera Gel: it's hard to know where to stop with this product as with the others as well. Super Super Dooper, I tell you! AV gel or juice is great for dry, frizzy hair, itchy scalp and dandruff and really boosts hair growth. It works as a nourishing shampoo, conditioner and all out giant in our store cupboard of healthy alternatives to commercial products. A must have along with the others.
