I got cornrows two weeks ago and i’ve always struggled with having a super itchy scalp when i get braids of any kind. So, this time around, I asked my hairstylist what to do about the itchiness and she said it was probably caused by a dry scalp.
I bought some braid refresher in an attempt to ease the itchiness. I got the jamaican mango and lime braid refresher since the product has a variety of oils in it, and it was convenient to buy at the time. ( side note, i’ve never gotten anything from this brand before)
Today i noticed huge chunks of dandruff literally peeling off my scalp when i itch it. I had seen it a few days ago too, but had just wrote it off as product buildup. This time it was unmistakable.
Also, to be fair my braider does use a tooooon of gel whe braiding my hair down, including edge booster in my actual hair. I’m almost 100% certain this isn’t product buildup though because i can see and feel it peel off my scalp in a way i’ve never seen before.
I’m really upset about this as my two week old braids are now full of dandruff chips, my head is still ITCHY, i spent money on the product, and I don’t know what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated 💕💕💕
