Dry & Sensitive Scalp, With Oily Hair
Comments (4):) DH's still got it, himself- aggravated by his wearing his thick, curly hair really, really long (waist-length, when it's wet) the coal tar products set his scalp on fire, and he won't try them again... apple cider vinegar (ideally the 'live' stuff from a health food store- we use Bragg's) as a scalp treatment does a great job of loosening up the crust, but he's not crazy about 'walking around smelling like a salad' which he claims even after washing his hair (I can't) and we use coconut oil as part of a sunday deep conditioning treatment that seems to make his scalp happy enough that it doesn't overproduce oil for a few days. if you've got the insurance, haveing someone look at it and figure out if you're having an allergic reaction to something, or if it's psorisis, or a yeast colony (DH also has rosacea, and I've found that restricting his sugar intake for a week or two does cut down on the crusties- not to mention his mood swings ;) but I can't get him to stick with it.)...See MoreHair Color
Comments (32)I've been coloring my hair since my late twenties when I started to go gray all at once. I also attributed it to my oldest child! I go every three weeks; foils /lowlights every other time, root color in between, and a haircut every time. Occasionally there are small changes for the seasons--- a bit darker and longer in the autumn and winter, brighter and shorter in the spring and summer. I wear a chin length pageboy/bob, all one length, parted on the side, tucked behind my ears. This style looks good on others in a beautiful silvery gray, but like someone else mentioned, I can't go and live in a yurt for a year while my hair grows out from a massive short cut. It's expensive having this done every three weeks, but at least my hairdresser loves me :-( In addition to the chemical reaction/ hair problem, the OP has a problem with the hairdresser following her directions. If you keep telling them not to "texturize" your hair and they persist in doing it, you should switch salons. They are supposed to do what YOU want....See MoreWay off topic but what's your favorite eye cream?
Comments (69)Pat. I mostly use Kirks on the boys hair also. One thing I truely HATE is when kids have a stinky head...iI've found that even shampooing 3 times with shampoo kids can still have a stink head. My boys have oily heads so that could be why. Anyway Kirks on their heads and their heads smell so very clean and fresh. I do use a chamomile tea rinse.. I used to use lemon juice, they are both blondies, but I tried the Chamomile and wow it left their hair silky with a natural shine. so every night I brew 2 cups of Chamomile LOL glad I found a cheap brand that's 97cents for 25. I think though I'll try one tea bag and just let it steep an hour or so than dilute it some and split it in half for each boy. For those of you that don't know Kirks is a lovely coconut castile bar soap that can be used as a shampoo you just have to use a acidic rinse afterwards to restore PH. Kirks has a shampoo but I've never seen it at a store, ive been really really wanting to try it. So if any of you have please report to me if you like it. Thank You....See MoreHow do you treat dry scalp, and a patch or two of maybe cradle cap?
Comments (21)I've been taking Meloxicam as needed for years. DH has taken it for his knee now. I think it is great, but I take it only when I need it. I take Aleve for a minor need and save Meloxicam for times I need more and especially when I want that 24 hr continuity. I think that consistent relief can really help more than a shorter term med since I tend to forget to take another dose until I'm really hurting again -- you get into that yo-yo of pain that makes it harder to make any real improvement. When I do take the Meloxicam, it is usually only 1 or 2 days and very rarely more than a week. You don't want to take more of any NSAID than you really need, but I don't hesitate to take it when I need it. Saw your question about taking it daily -- it is a once a day and when you start it, you may need to take it everyday for a few days or more to get the relief you need so that you can stop taking it for a while. Like hcbm said -- you don't want to let pain get too far out in front of you or keep coming back at you because it gets harder to bring it back under control if it gets away from you. But if you only need to take it once and can go without it for days or a week or more, you don't need to take it every day. If you skip a day and need to take it again, try taking it a few days in a row. You wind up figuring out your own rhythm and how to read what your body needs....See Morerhizo_1 (North AL) zone 7
