Now, enhance your look with a natural hair weave. Sadly, most of the time, this enhancement comes with an uncomfortable side effect- itching. If your scalp is irritated, here are some efficient methods for getting rid of it and avoiding itching while keeping your weave feeling cozy and new.
1. Keep Your Scalp Clean
Dirty stuff, consisting of dirt, sweat, and product buildup, tends to cause itchiness, and using a diluted sulfate-free shampoo, wash your scalp every two weeks. If washing is not possible with such frequency, use dry shampoo or a scalp cleansing spray to rid it of excess oil.
2. Moisturize Regularly
A dry scalp is a leading issue behind itching. Applying lightweight oils like coconut oil, jojoba oil, or tea tree oil is recommended to keep the scalp hydrated. Heavy products should be avoided since they can block your pores.
3. Use An Anti-Itch Spray
A natural anti-itch spray with witch hazel, aloe vera, or peppermint is sure to provide immediate relief. You could combine water with a couple of drops of essential oil and mist this on your scalp.
4. Avoid Tightly Braided
Sometimes, a tightly installed weave causes tension and itchiness. Inform your stylist if you feel discomfort during installation, and go for a slightly loose braid pattern.
5. Scalp Massage
The gentle rubbing of the scalp with the tips of your fingers helps improve circulation and ease itching. You need to be cautious not to disturb the weave too much.
All these ways help you enjoy the added beauty of a natural hair weave without being extremely uncomfortable due to itching.
