HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU REAPPLY TED'S REMEDIES?
Hi! I tried your scalp remedy and wondered how often to reapply? I have scalp issues due to years of hair coloring, so probably will need to do this regularly. I wondered what you found was most effective. Thanks!
Alissa: Most scalp problems that I have found to be most successful in restoring to their former selves is tea tree oil, lavender, aloe vera oil, vitamin D (20,000 I.U. per day for a month), vitamin A, and vitamin C. Horsetails or high silicon diets is always needed too. The frequency of reapplication at least for a somewhat normal case of scalp problem is once a week for a period of a month. However, in practice I am generally happy with only just one overnight application once every two weeks.
For severe cases, three applications to five applications per week may be needed and you have to leave them overnight after the application. The next morning you can rinse with an unscented soap or baby soap. I don't recommend shampoo, they tend to cause drying of skin, regardless of the brand since the major ingredients is usually, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium lauryl ether sulfate, or other similar family of chemicals that causes drying of scalp and cause dermal irritations. Unscented soap don't have this problem. Ted
