Yesterday, I tried scritching for the first time. It felt good, but afterwards, my scalp started to itch terribly, and lots of flakes appeared! The itching stopped after half an hour, but I'm not sure what to do with the flakes. Is washing the only way to get rid of them? Should I be scritching more often?
Also, after scritching and massaging, my fingertips were only slightly greasy... how do I preen with that?
I hope my questions make sense... I'm still not quite sure what sebum feels or looks like, just going by the descriptions here.
