Flaky itchy scalp, but perfect hair problem
Post Body

Hi, I'm sort of new to taking care of my hair properly and only started going natural 4 years ago. My hair is great, I have no complaints. It's soft to the touch, holds curls well, minimal breakage, etc. The problem is my scalp, ever since I can remember, I've always had a really flaky oily itchy scalp. I really want to end up dreadlocking my hair, but I am really afraid I will have to shave everything off and start over again due to the itchiness and gross dead skin and oil buildup. In fact, that's the only reason I've kept my hair short for so many years of my life, less itching, less dandruff. I wash my hair about once a week, and it doesn't matter what I put in my hair - I've tried blue magic, I've tried cantu shea butter, I've tried a few hair lotions and leave in conditioners. Nothing seems to help, I'm thinking I might need something basic and without additives like alcohol, problem is - I'm actually blind, I can't read ingredient labels when I go the the store, so picking out products is difficult and I wouldn't even know where to start looking online. Can anyone give me any suggestions?
