I have a son who is going to be 14 very soon. For years I have buzzed his head since he was 3 and we had a problem with ticks and he was infected. Every time it would grow he would get it to a certain length it would be hot out and he would say buzz it again. (football helmets and hair dont mix he would say).
well this year he let it grow, i have noticed that it looks a bit well it's looks like he has a mop on his head. It's still short although it covers his ears and he does have a curl to the ends that I didn't think he had. We would like him to get a style as he has never been to a hair stylist before. He hasn't figured out what he wants so we haven't gone.
The problem isnt that, it's really the oily head he has. He washes his hair and either by night or the next day his hair looks like he bathed it in butter. I am not kidding this is really bad.
He has seboric dermatitis and once or so a year he winds up with a build up and you can see it in a patch that gets bad. I have him using Tgel or Nisorel(sp) for a while and it cleared up and didn't return but the oily hair is bad. I didn't really notice he had oily hair before because it was always buzzed.
So i bought him head and shoulders to use daily and it's for oily hair. it doens't seem to be helping the oily part but again his scalp has no issues with the seboric dermatitis.
Should I chalk this up to being a teenager or is this his hair for the rest of his life. And if so either way how can i help him?
His hair is so healthy I have to say, but the oil is getting to him.
