Scab Hair 101

Scab Hair is the hair directly underneath the scalp that has been affected by the harsh chemicals. Even though the hair is new growth, it isn't "trained" to behave in it's natural state. The hair is still sort of straight, very dry and brittle. It usually takes somewhere around 6 months to completely grow out. Not everyone experiences scab hair. The longer a person was relaxed, the more likely they will be affected.



Now that you know what it is, let's talk solutions. The best thing you can do to resolve the issue is to use Aloe vera. Aloe vera is very soothing and can penetrate the scalp to heal the follicle, thereby minimizing and preventing scab hair. You can also use rosewater on your scalp. Rosewater is packed with moisturizing properties that also have soothing effects on the scalp.
