Curly dry hair
Dread Maintenance
I have naturally curly hair, which is pretty dry. For example, prior to dreading I would only wash my hair every 7-14 days (yeah gross, I know lol... ) Anyways... when i first dreaded my hair, I still only washed every 7-10ish days, which worked for my dryness, but I kept getting tons of congos! I had to go through with olive oil and some scissors to separate the few hairs that joined the bases of many of them. (I was clueless and didn't know I had to separate after every wash.... lol)
Now that I am washing twice a week, (bs andacv wash), so Iam able to keep them separate and uncongo'd,I find that my scalp is uncomfortable and itchy. Its not flaking and there is not any dandruff.I've tried aloe but unless I pour the whole bottle on its not reallyhelping. I just want to throw some coco butter or my old heavy conditionerup there (but I obviously wont!). What can I do to help alieviate it? I need a solution asap!! Thanks in advance!!

The weight of the dreads previously kept my curly hair from locking up naturally. I have been separating my locs 2-3 times a day! The majority of my hair keeps separated but I have 4-5 at the crown of my head that are forming into a swirl of connected curls. Its beginning to tangle so much that my separating efforts are futile.
