As my hair had a break I tried different "solutions". Sulfur 8 did well but it didn't last and left my hair greasy or stripped. I tried Fantasia Tea Tree kit... Didn't work The shampoo and conditioner felt good and the solution felt nice but left my scalp white and very itchy.
After that I began researching natural products. The first line I tried was Aubrey Organics. The Primrose Shampoo. I still had redness and itching but I felt like I was going in the right direction.
Then I tried Trader Joes Tea Tree... HORRIBLE (for me)!! It itched WHILE I was shampooing.
Next came some relief Giovanni Tea Tree Triple Treat Shampoo. I went 3-6 days without shampooing or having crazy itchies. I didn't have much redness and my hair didn't feel stripped. The conditioner is also great. It separates my curls and moisturizes some too. These products do contain protein so be careful if you are protein sensitive. One thing derms have right is you should have a cleanser to alternate with.
I found Chagrin Valley Rosemary Mint Shampoo Bar. It took away a lot of the redness and helped my scalp feel better. I can go about 3-7 days using this product as well. I do an ACV Rinse afterward to condition.
One thing the derms have wrong if you have dry hair but SD on your scalp. YOU SHOULD STILL USE CONDITIONER. Not using conditioner per their request was my WORST mistake.
Hot oil treatments with evoo and eucalyptus oil or tea tree or whatever oil worse for you also helps.
Last but not least eating right, exercising, and staying stress free.
I will go into each section of this indepth in following posts.
