Dandruff crust?

First of all hi everyone, just registered but have been reading post in the forum for a while now. anyway, I got a problem or so i think.

I have been using baking soda, essential oil and apple cider vinegar for about 2 months now. Recently i started to find crust/stone (or what i should call it) on my scalp and im worry this is a sign that my scalp is irritated. I wash my hair every third day with baking soda. Sometimes i use essential oil and vinegar but mostly only baking soda. I always rinse the hair after 10min and i can feel that it itching a little bit time to time (not all the time, for example now i dont feel any itching). Sometimes its itching like hell mostly the last day before i wash my hair.

The crust is yellow and white.

Is this normal or is it a sign that my scalp is angry at me and that i need to do something about it? or is this just how it is at the beginning?

Hi Kimmy. The baking soda wash should stay on for 20 minutes. What measurements are you using for the BS & ACV?

It figures, this started to happened when i stopped using essential oil every time and started to use only baking soda more often. I also thought acv was something to be used like one time each month, how silly of me :/

I shall begin tomorrow with acv and start using it every time i wash my hair, and hopefully the problem will be solved?

Okey, so today i have washed my hair first with baking soda and (i mixed tree tea oil and lavender essential oil with it) and had it on for 10mins. Then i used the acv mixed with some water for 2-3mins.

Hopefully this will fix the crusts problem. I will definitely make an update about this,
but i think it was the acv, cause it feels a lot more different this time then when i almost all the time only used baking soda.

Also I found a big difference in how fast the crust (dry skin plus oil from the scalp or whatever it was) came back from when I rinsed with warm water, to when I switched to rinsing with COLD COLD COLD water. Sitting under really cold water to rinse it out is hard to do, but makes a huge difference in stopping the oil produced by the scalp from coming back.
