Fix EXTREMELY dry hair/scalp?

Question

so I have good hygiene and I wash my hair every other or every two days as directed by my hairdresser, I condition it, I never straighten it, I let it air dry. But there’s this one spot on my scalp that’s so dry if I scratch it this happens..then I get obsessed with scratching and making all
The flakes go away and I’m sure that doesn’t help. 
Idk what to do! I’ve tried deep conditioning, I’ve tried Head and shoulders, I’ve tried it all. Please help.

Answer

Looks like the problem I had for a while. It wasn’t my shampoo, because I used natural, paraben and sulfate free shampoo and conditioner. I also tried everything you’ve mentioned as well.
Turns out it was an internal issue. I had too much yeast/candida built up in my gut. I was consuming too much sugar and gluten, which is what builds up the yeast in the first place. And it can show up on your skin, especially your scalp, behind your ears, and the sides of your nose, and the crease of your arms. 
Do you ever get stomach aches that are unexplainable? What about IBS symptoms? Any random sicknesses?
I got rid of mine by going gluten free and lowering my sugar intake. I only consume natural sugars like honey or agave and coconut sugar as well. No cane sugar or anything processed like high fructose corn syrup.
Take a probiotic every day to build up the good bacteria in your guy. And try fermented foods, apple cider vinegar, and anti-inflammatory foods such as turmeric and ginger. 
It took a few months for me to see a difference, not only in my skin but also in the way I felt.

Answer

That is a fungal infection and you need to use something like Selsun blue to get rid of it.

Answer

I'm experiencing the same thing. I have noticed it gets worse with some shampoos (even though they are sulphate free). Also make sure you really rinse your hair properly so you don't have any product left in it. I know I don't always do that due to not having enough warm water and/or having a baby who needs attention.

Answer

I use head and shoulders 🤷🏼‍♀️ love it and works for me!

Answer

Are you pregnant? 
This happens in one small patch to ke every single time I’m pregnant and no amount of coconut oil or anything has ever helped me. 
If not due to pregnancy idtake a good look at what shampoo and conditioner your using and try something with less harsh ingredients and the coconut oil like everyone else suggested too.

Answer

Another vote for coconut oil. Works wonders!

Answer

go grab the coconut oil and quit touching your head otherwise!!

Answer

Warm up some olive oil and put it on your scalp over night with a plastic shower cap. Wash and go in the morning. Your dry scalp should go away

Answer

I second the coconut oil and maybe use a comb. You could put a hair mask on and leave it over night.

Answer

The more you wash your hair, the more you’re going to dry out your scalp. 
Most shampoos contain SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate). This is the same detergent used to Dawn dish soap, which is famous for stripping off oil from wild life after oil spills. Now imagine what it does to your skin and hair. 
You might need to find a whole new regime for your scalp that is free of SLS and non water soluble silicones. I say non water soluble, because many silicones used in conditioner can only be stripped from the hair using a heavy detergent. Silicone cause build up, FYI.
