    hey i had a quick question
    i have naturally dry skin so my scalp gets raw and itchy super fast
    i was wondering what kid of things i can do to help moisturize my head but not my hair (i use dr bronners once or twice a week. the roots still get greasy after a while while my scalp dries out)
    ideas?

    I don't have your specific problem but wanted to say that I use a small amount of lightweight 'cone free conditioner when I feel my hair needs it. I'm also a fan of using coconut oil in small amounts.

    which bronners are u using? use the teatree add a dropperful of rosdsemary oil to the undiluted bottle b4 diluting
    alternate with the deep cleanse u can add teatree and rosemary to that as well
    the deep cleanse seems to eat away all the dry dead skin
    yeatree and rosemary help with the flakes

    in occassion u can add a lil bit of aloe and vitamin e to the mix they'll help heal the skin conditions but dont use much or often it can add to greasiness if overused (id imagine anyways, never trued it myself)


    when u deep cleanse u dont gotta scrub really but when u use the bronners use youir nails to really scrape away any built up crap on your scalp and stimulate bloodflow to the scalp


    hmm i wonder..u can try this as an experimental thing..1-2 drops cinimon oil and 1-2 of orange oil the orange i believe will help dissolve dead skin and cinimon i think will stimulate the scalp

    keep in mind they are very strong so only use a tiny bit mixed into the deep cleanse (or bronners)
    im kinda guessing at those though there maybe better things to try
