I have a question regarding scalp health and air drying.
This has happened twice to me over the past year. If I air dry my hair, after a few weeks my scalp starts getting really sore. The first time it happened I applied Monistat to my scalp for several days and it cleared right up. Therefore, I deduced the moisture from air drying was contributing to yeasties (is that a word...hehe) on my scalp. So, I started drying the roots every time I washed and all was well again.
Now it's summer and I'm having the same thing happening. I would say it's because of swimming almost every weekend; hair is wet the majority of the day. Soooo, I'm back to applying Monistat again to clear it up and will have to dry my roots with a dryer again. Of course, I'm trying to grow out side swept bangs, so I am using the Monistat for that as well.;)
Has anyone else had this issue or something similar??:shrug:
