OMG!!! This is so frustrating! I haven't had flare ups of seborrheic dermatitis since I was in high school! And of course NOW I want to grow my hair out really long, IT COMES BACK!! :mad:
Luckily it isn't as bad as when I was in high school. Maybe puberty affected the oil on my scalp. ANYWAY, I occasionally have to use Head and Shoulders (shampoo and conditioner combined) if my scalp is itchy because it means if I use my normal moisturizing shampoo, I will have a very itchy scalp and lots of dandruff. I used it today, but luckily I have a very moisturizing conditioner and I put leave in conditioner spray on the ends when I got out of the shower.
I JUST put a hair mask on though that I'm going to sleep in tonight. I know that dandruff shampoo can SERIOUSLY dry out your hair and that is why I have had trouble growing out my hair in the first place; my ends split too easily. Hair masks seem to be doing the trick though, so hopefully this will work.
Anyway, has anyone else struggled with wanting to grow your hair out long and the woes of seborrheic dermatitis? What routine do you guys do?
