New Install Itch!

[DaisyChains]

dunno if any of you other dready ladies suffer with the itchy flakey thing that happens just after install on the hair line? i do its proper annoying!! BUT i have found the ultimate relief and cure...

Badger Balm its amazin!!! also organic and 100% holistic, no additives etc..i find the winter wonderland one the best (i have about 6 diff ones but i think its the camphor in the winter wonderland that provides a cooling feeling) also its fine if a little gets on wool/synthetics although i try and wipe it off if loads goes on,

keeps the skin clear from the dry flakeyness and stops the itchy feeling, also doesnt leave a residue,

annnyways thought i would share my lucky find

what do you use to cure this problem (if you suffer with it?) any other lucky finds?

yes thats the one

making your own would be easy peeasy too camphor oil is fab for cooling, as is tea tree oil,

its horrible when you feel they wont settle isnt it x

I use some stuff called Better Braids spray which is medicated with salicylic acid to calm down the itching. I bought a big bottle about 6 years ago when I first started wearing dreads, and I'm still only halfway down it, so a little goes a long way

i just use tea tree oil in a bottle with water works perfectly for me, and costs next to nothing
