Day 5: My Scalp is ITCHY!!!!

Thus far, everythng seems to be going well.  I have inspired two of my colleagues to consider Sisterlocks, that's a plus.  I continue to get compliments daily and that helps too, lol.

But, there are two challenges.

1.  I am getting tired of rodding my hair every morning so that its curled.

2.  My scalp is getting itchy!

The first challenge is one that I have complete control over.  I could just stop!!  However, I don't want my locks to look unkept so until they mature a little more and are "behaving", I will continue to rod it.

Now, number two!!!  I can't take this at all!!  I've never had a dandruff "problem" so this is all new.  I notice more and more everyday that my scalp is itchy and I am afraid I will soon see flakes!!!!  OH NOOO!!!!  I can't handlethat.  So, I have deciced (without my locticians advice) to attempt to relieve this with a tea tree oil mist.  I will spray it on my hair every night (if it works) for now.

I've read that it's great for dandruff and itchy scalp, so why not??

So, I rushed over to Whole Foods after work and picked up the tea tree oil that I needed.  It is a .5 fluid ounce bottle 100% pure essential oil.  It has a "woodsy" smell that I am concerned might come across as masculine.  But oh well, here goes nothing.

1 cup distilled water
8 drops tea tree oil
1 spray bottle

I dropped eight drops of the tea tree oil in the distilled water, poured it in a spray bottle and misted it on my scalp, very lightly.  I'll let you all know how it goes...  ITCHY SCALP, BE GONE!!!!
