While reading a post that Igor made once, I came to a theory that my flakey scalp is due to a weak acid mantle. So my question is, What happens to the scalp if the acid mantle is removed? and I believe it's just sebum, right?
My scalp doesn't know how to make much sebum at all and so my scalp is always dry and flaky, especially if I shampoo and if I CO-wash more than 3x a week. I'm not sure if the lack of a good acid mantle could be causing that or not.
If I add oil to my scalp (and don't rinse it off for a day or two) would that just further disrupt my acid mantle? I'm afraid to do an ACV rinse because I read it's drying and my scalp is dry enough as it is. I'm thinking of experimenting by oiling half my scalp and leaving the other half be. Dumb idea or no?
