your hair snapshot

your scalp may not be getting fully clean.

what's likely going on

itching or flaking between washes, especially under locs, braids, or long styles, can come from product and sweat buildup. longer gaps between washes make it more likely.

how to find out

at each wash day, note which day the itching started since your last wash.

if itching or flaking doesn't ease, check in with a dermatologist.
