Hey so what's going on, i'm super excited for this video because we are talking about the scout finally getting to the scout. Okay and i'm so excited, because i get to share some really amazing new information you probably never heard about when it comes to your scalp. Our style really is the start of healthy hair. So in this video i'm going to share some great information with you, it's going to transform your view of the scalp and your hair. On top of that, we're going to address some common challenges that we see and i'm going to provide some great solutions that you can even do tonight to start seeing some results within days. So get your popcorn get your juice, get your soda whatever you want to get get comfy, because this is a video you're going to want to watch at the very end, so stay tuned. Okay. So when it comes to our scout, what exactly is our scout? So, first of all, it is made up of five different layers, so these layers have different blood vessels and then there's the hair follicles and then there's sebaceous glands now sebaceous glands are glands, actually produce the oil. The sebum that our scalp naturally has sebum is so unique because it has antimicrobial properties, are designed to fight off bacteria and fungus from our scalp. On top of that, just like our hair has a ph of 4.5 to 5.5. Our scalp has the same exact ph as well and i'll. Let you guys start seeing the ph of our hair and our scalp as in a other environment. All right, 4.5 to 5.5 is the ideal environment for our hair and our scalp to thrive. Now, all of that sounds great and wonderful. However, we still experience challenges on a daily basis when it comes to our scalp, and even if you don't even have these challenges, it'll be great for just preventing these things from happening. Okay, so number one. If you have an oily, scalp you'll know, because obviously your scalp will feel really really oil and you may even have a little red bunks. This is a key indicator of an oily scalp. Now, there's two culprits to this number: one: either your body just naturally over, produces sebum on your scalp or you have product buildup. All of this becomes an issue because they can clog the pores of your scalp and when the pores of your scalp are clogged, that's where you're going to get breakage and also a lack of hair growth. These are things that you do not want. So a few solutions from the solution box, i'm going to recommend number one - is witch hazel witch hazel i feel like is an underrated ingredient when it comes to scalp care because number one witch hazel is great for balancing the ph, it helps to cleanse away dirt And oil and it's super moisturizing for the scalp as well. You can add this to your scalp for maybe like five or ten minutes, rinse it off and then proceed to your shampoo i'll, have more information about this in the description box. The second solution i'm going to recommend, is to shampoo your hair, and i know to be thinking like you know, obviously shampoo, your hair, but believe it or not. A lot of people do not shampoo their hair. A lot of people co-wash their hair. I have a whole video on this i'll put the link below in the description box, but co-washing is not going to effectively cleanse your scalp. It'S not going to effectively remove product buildup off of your scalp, so definitely be sure to get your hands on an actual shampoo to cleanse your scalp. And thirdly, i want to say when it comes to products. I always say that shampoo is for your scalp and creams, like conditioners, leave the moisturizes for your hair. So the whole goal here is to really make sure that you do not get any of that cream-based product on your scalp, because i can definitely close the pores as well. The second challenge is going to be a dry scalp. Now you know you have a dry scalp when your scalp legit feels dry and sometimes even itchy as well. Now this is you, what can be a common cause? Is your shampoo? Maybe your shampoo is too harsh for your scalp and i want you guys to look at your scalp as like a network like a network like this, a very tight network. Now, unfortunately, cleansing surfactants can be so harsh, sometimes that they can mess up and compromise this network in such a way that it loosens the stratum corneum of the scalp. When this happens, this is kind of where you get the water loss or the loss of moisturization. From the scalp, so if it's a tight knit network, it's kind of hard for the scalp to lose moisture, hence the reason why you know the scalp can hold moisture as well, but a dry scalp. Typically, the stratum corneum is compromised, it's loose, hence the reason why it does not hold moisture in very well and you're experiencing a dry scalp. So my recommendation here is to number one utilize: hemp seed oil. I feel like hemp seed oil is another underrated oil for the scalp. I love hemp seed oil because it has a common genetic rating of zero and a common genetic rating is a rating that all oils have that determine the poor, clogging ability. Number five is the highest. Zero is like the least obviously, and hence the oil happens to be zero, so it's great for the scalp. So it's gon na help with water loss not to lock in moisture on the scalp. You don't experience a dry scalp on top of that, i really invest in like a hair, steamer and just sitting under the hair streamer for a while just letting that moisture really soak into your scalp and then follow up with the hemp seed oil to lock in That moisture next is going to be your shampoo you're, going to want to look for shampoos that have gentle cleansing surfactants even better. If you can look for liquid shampoos, because liquid shampoos are going to have a less amount of cleansing surfactant versus like the creamy like shampoos, i always recommend the carol's daughter washed, a delight shampoo. It'S like a liquid shampoo. It has a nozzle on it and it's very gentle, but also very effective for cleansing the scalp. So i recommend that as well. Okay, the last challenge is going to be dandruff. I get so many questions on this and basically, in short, guys. Dandruff is the overproduction of dead skin cells and there's actually a yeast, that's living on the scalp of those who have dandruff and it's actually feeding off of the sebum, and this is kind of making the dandruff continue to grow as well, because your body is like Reacting to the yeast on the scalp, almost like an anti-inflammatory response in your scalp. It'S just overproducing that skin cell now, what can you do about it all right number one? I am going to recommend apple cider, vinegar, rinses out of the solution box, because acv rinses have a great way of shedding dead skin cells from the scalp. On top of that, as you already know, acv rinses are ideal ph wise for our hair. The next thing i want to recommend is aloe vera juice. That'S also a very anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory type of ingredient to use for your scalp, so something like that is going to help with moisture, but also getting your ph back as well, and the next of course witch hazel. I would just recommend witch hazel for dandruff, because once again it's going to help to remove those excess of oils. It'S going to help to bring back down the ph of the scalp, and it's going to be great for moisture and then last but not least, tea tree oil, i think, is another underrated. Essential oil for the scalp research has shown that tea tree oil is great. For dandruff like inhibiting and removing dandruff, so you can actually create your own little tea tree oil, hemp seed, oil type of mix and apply that to your scalp, maybe like once or twice a week until you start seeing a change. So, regardless of what challenge you currently have and like i said, if you don't have this, these are great preventative methods. Definitely consider these different solutions to possibly incorporate to your current regimen to make sure that you do not have any ongoing scout conditions or even you know, scott conditions in the future. If you don't have any stop positions, all right hope you guys enjoyed this video and learned something new. I have a question for you, of course, in the whole arena of scout care. What are some videos and topics that you would like me to cover when it comes to our scout? I know i focus on hair a lot, but i'm interested in getting your feedback on the style and what else you want to know about it. Alright. So comment below, let me know - and i look forward to joining the conversation with you be sure - to check out the curly girls guide to hair care in greece. If you have not done so already, i will have the link below for you to check out and if you are interested in starting a hair care run, you can work with me.

CHERRY BLACKER: Thank you wonderful young lady! Your information is always straight to the point with no gimmicks, not selling point and concise. As an older post menopausal woman I’m especially keen on scalp and hair treatment and am working against alopecia never relaxed my hair but stress and tight plaiting definitely culprits. I still have beautiful hair where it’s full but working on where growth is fine and slow. You’re special✨✨

As a result my hair texture changed drastically from 3B to 4B and my hair is now over 50% gray and extremely dry and brittle. Any recommendations you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Love your videos btw!!
katherine Alcantara: Her: “Get your popcorn, get your juice.” Me: Grabs cocktail and notepad
Curlycurl Birdy girl: Great content and congrats on 100k! Woohoo As for exfoliating the scalp, I wonder about physical vs chemical exfoliators, pros and cons of each and what problems are they best suited for, or not.
NaTasha Pulver: Another wonderful video! I'd love to learn about how scalp care & cleanliness for people who exercise daily?
Boy Genius: Im a guy who's been rocking hair twist for years and needed to hear all of this. Hearing you break down the scalp says it all. Never knew about the witch hazel, nor hemp oil nor dandruff with the acv rinse. Very informative. Subbed!
silk: I'd be interested in dermarolling the scalp for hair growth. I've seen people use a dermaroller or dermapen for thicker edges and hair loss prevention. Is this safe? How deep should the needles be? What is the reccomended after care for a dermarolled scalp when the goal is hair growth?
Whitney Davis-Fletcher: Hi love! As always, this was an amazing video! You're the best! I would definitely love to see a scalp health video on issues such as scalp psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, etc!

I have a essential oil kit. It has all the good ones included rosemary, orange oil, lavender, tee tree, peppeerment. I plan to try the hemp oil and tee tree mix. I will start back to using my hair steamer. I wear it out as a facial steamer. It has an attachment to steam the face. I'll get back to steaming my scalp as well. You asked a question and here is what I would like you to talk about as far as the scalp go. I pretty much have all the items you mentioned in this video already here at home with me all but hemp seed oil anyway, what I also learned from his video is to use products correctly to get the best results. I've learned you can have several productd but if they arent t used at the right time (before shampooing or after steaming etc.) or with the right other product you want get the best results. This was a very educational video.
Vutlharhi Mahatlani: I've been waiting for this. I struggle so much with having a clean healthy scalp. most of the time I wash my hair only to realize it's still dirty the day after or it's overly dry, but (i also struggle with dandruff). This helped a lot. thanks ( : Can you do a video on how having previously relaxed or permed hair can affect your scalp? I think that's why I struggle so much with scalp care.
Indigo's Talent Cafe: Your videos are always so informative. I love that you educate us on not only what to do but, more importantly, WHY we should do what we need to do for healthy hair. Thanks a million!
LittleNicole94: Another great video! I use tea tree oil and it's really cleansing and refreshing to my hair. I'm curious about the witch hazel, would you suggest incorporating it into a shampoo or directly into the scalp? Also, since Summer's coming could you do a video on protective styles and products to use if we are going swimming. And suggestions on before and after care of swimming.
NaptrulyMe: I appreciate the breakdown and info. Your videos has helped me so much ! For a while, I didn't realize how important it was to look at ingredients in shampoos. I realize with your help from the videos that certain shampoos wasn't for me (contain harsh/toxic ingredients). Thanks. Now, I make my own shampoos with African Black soap or castile soap (mix with other natural ingredients) for my hair/scalp. This is enough to clarify my hair/scalp. Other naturals think that we supposedly use a chelating, sulfate or clarifying store bought shampoos. Anyway, I know better now... If I ever go back to store bought or commercial products, it will be cruelty free, vegan and or organic. Ingredients are important!
Michaela Cheatham: Great tips! I’d love to see a video about whether or not greasing the scalp is good. Should oil/grease be applied to the scalp throughout the week or no?
tiare1967: Great content! My question is I'm dealing with hyperthyroidism and my meds have caused alot of hair loss. What can I do to maintain the hair I still have or even hair growth?

Lois Evora: Thanks, for this topic. I would have loved to hear about the witch hazel in 2014 when I started having thinning and hair loss in my crown and a bald spot that spread on my right side. I believe it was from a natural hairstylist that didn't clean her hair tools properly and also clogged pores.
Sheila Metcalf: Thank you for stewarding your gift so well! Can you please assist with recommendations and experimenting with grease vs oils for healthy hydrated low porosity scalp care? Which brands? and how often to apply directly to the scalp? With much gratitude, blessings ❤️
Christine Combs: I could just cry right now from happiness!!! I have been looking for answers to why my hair is the way it is and what could be causing it and I just stumbled along one of your other videos which I liked and decided to Subscribe, # BESTCHOICEEVER . Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and every item you described except for the Carol's Daughter Shampoo I already have here at home because I'm trying to help both mine and my 13 yr old daughters hair to grow. Stay blessed and thank you again. I'm gonna start doing these things immediately to help our hair.
Chris Martino: Great video! I think a scalpcare video we really could benefit from is whether or not oil is beneficial to the scalp. I feel like a lot of presenters talk about oiling their scalp and why it doesn’t work for them, but I don’t feel like they include the benefits of oil to the scalp for other people that may need it or how you know to steer clear of scalp oils or when/how to incorporate them, if you should.
Ladylindatv: Thanks a million for all your hard work and all you share to help and promote healthier hair. Xx

Allyson Terrell: Congratulations on 100K, can you talk about scalp detox and/or clays
Reflective Fashion Production: Love this video. I think it's very important to take care of your scalp ❤
esthel jean: I don’t know if you already have a video on this but I would love to watch a video on the effectiveness of clay washes for detox and clarifying your scalp. I use them currently and I love them but I’m not sure if it is truly clarifying my scalp.
mia alexander: Thanks so much! You hit it again! I would love to see what visible product build up, dandruff, and dry scalp flakes look like! Thanks honey!
Dyhesha Taylor: You literally solved ALL of my problems with my daughters scalp. She has an extremely dry dandruff producing scalp, only in her interior area.
Summer Miller: I normally have dandruff, at least for about 15 years. For the past 1 year I have had no such experiences. Guess why? I uses aloe vera to steam my hair as well as oil my hair every few days. It's alike a miracle... didn't know that oiling had such great results. Lovely video as usual.
Blackberryrose: I Love your videos. Would to know more about ACV rinses like when do you do it, the effectiveness etc. Thank You for everything that you teach us about our hair I really appreciate it so much
Natural Since Birth: Very informative video!!! This one may sound weird, but here it is. A Particular area on my scalp, namely the very top crown area, for some reason is so irritated to the point where, when I pull or even pull out the hair from the root, it's comforting. I wanna know the importance of ingredients that stimulate the scalp, soothe the scalp, the maintenance of a healthy scalp, And the common problems people have in the crown area.
Fatimah Mak: Great information as always !! I don’t have any of these issues but I have a very sensitive scalp, like it hurts sometimes to just move my hair from side to side. Thanks for the great content❤️❤️❤️
Jasmin Marie Lifestyle and Vlogs: I deal with dry scalp and started using the indian clay mask mixed with organic ACV, aloe vera juice, tea tree oil, and onion/ginger juice. So far, so good. I've noticed less itching, less dandruff, and less breakage.
Tandra Hill: Thank you for this video. I have dandruff with dry scalp and very oily hair, without adding any oils to it. My hairstylist thinks it could be hormonal/climate/medications. I'll start my research on hemp seed oil and witch hazel, being my first time hearing about this.
Tray GooD and Hemlata D Cal-El: As a bald man on a journey to regrow, and recondition my hair to grow all over my head - especially in the front - this information is priceless! I'd like to know how do the ACV rinse, and I'm also interested to know if the needle type derma rollers are damaging for the scalp. I've been using one for about two months on my scalp, and I've honestly have stimulated alot more growth than I have previously. Anyway, THANK U!
Denise.Adore: I get questions on my channel when I exfoliate my scalp with a scalp scrub. They ask if the scalp scrub is tearing my hair out or breaking it off. I have never noticed any breakage or shedding from this and it makes my scalp feel rejuvenated just like when I exfoliate my face or body. What are your thoughts about scalp exfoliating? Maybe you can give your thoughts in a video.
Carolyn Williams: I'm a disabled senior citizen and I've always taken good care of my hair. I even went to Beauty School when my beautician retired to learn hair chemistry. I'm pretty careful with my hair. I've NEVER HAD DANDRUFF & although I'm older now, I only have trouble with greying!!! I say trouble because it's the eventuality of every Senior. Life goes on!!! ❣️
Sable 711: Hey, happy Easter! If you haven't done a video on this already. I would like to know what the scalp looks like in different types of alopecia. It would be nice to know specifically to the naked eye or the untrained person. For instance if you start seeing little white spots, not dandruff but little white spots where you think the follicles should be. Also the symptoms for different types of alopecia and what the progression should be if any. And, when there is alopecia why doesn't the hair grow as fast as the other and is it hopeful when you see little short strands appearing in that smooth area?
Messie: Thanks for another informative video❤️❤️Can you please do a video on traction alopecia and other types of hair loss issues.
Judith Grant: Hi - I've just watched your video and found it very informative. My question is if you have alopecia or hair loss in various different sections of your scalp how do you manage this with oils? Does this mean the follicles will never grow back? Are you able to do a video on this topic?
N West: Peace Beautiful, I’d love to hear your expertise advise on the Chebe Powder or Oil that a lot of women are putting on their scalp.
Chela Buford: How do you suggest creating and maintaining a healthy scalp routine? i.e. Is daily brushing the hair necessary for healthy scalp and hair and is it necessary to oil the scalp to keep it and your hair healthy? Does massaging the scalp stimulate hair growth? Thank you for your content and expertise
Tonya Evett: Your content is soooo helpful! Thank you so much! Could you share anything you have on postpartum shedding/care please!
C B: Great video as always! I would like to know if your recommendations include usage on sisterlocs. I prefer natural products with no additives. I don't buy/use the shampoos and other hair products from the store. I usually make my own but want to amp up my mixtures. Thank you!
G P: In response to 7:46 Routine for treating male pattern baldness naturally, ie, through oils, diet, etc.. Thanks for your consideration.

jerras52: Great presentation and will be purchasing hemp seed oil and adding it to my regimen. My question is, years ago chemical damage affected my hair and scalp. Is there anything you could recommend to assist in restoring scalp to grow hair again?
Simone Gamble: I would love to know more about scalp care while your hair is in box braids or other protective styles. The oils sometimes break me out so wondering how often I should be doing it and the other solutions are liquidy so will mess with the integrity of the style. Thanks for being so informative. I learn so much here.

Felicia Dunn: Great advice! So informative and helpful!
georgiapeach310: Hey! Congratulations on 100k! As far as scalp health: to oil or not to oil? Does oil have a role in hair growth? Are there oils that we should avoid? Scalp massages are relaxing, is there anything else we can do to stimulate growth/prep our scalps? How about grease on the scalp? Is that a do or don’t? What about bumps on the scalp? Is there anything for which we should be on the lookout? Anything that might require a trip to a doctor/dermatologist?
Neiki Dixon: Can you talk about bald spots/hair loss, are there any ingredients we can incorporate in our hair care routine that can prevent or slow this if prevention is impossible?
Shine The Light: I just put witch hazel on my hair today. Yes it does feel so moisturizing. I put a little bit of baking soda, mixed it with witch hazel..and sprayed it..I massaged it in and it was so soothing. Then I applied peppermint oil on my scalp. I detangled and applied almond oil on the length of my hair and braided it. I love the feeling of the peppermint oil on my scalp.
Coffee LvnWmn: What an informative video, as such I've not seen on YouTube. Thank you so much for explaining these scalp issues.. something I've trying to treat for a long time. This is my first time here and you better believe I've subscribed. THANK YOU!!! Shalom.
Brandi: First, congratulations on reaching k! I would like to see a video/s about hair growth and care during pre-menopausal and menopausal phases. Thank you

Christina Ward: I would love to see a video ranking different oils on the comodogenic scale.
UniquelyAshante's Corner: Thanks for sharing this video! I read the article you shared in the description box (thanks by the way!) and I had a question. Is it okay to leave the witch hazel on your scalp? I know the article you shared mentioned that it should be washed off, but I noticed many women use witch hazel to cleanse the scalp in between wash days and don't wash it off.
LaTia Adams: Awesome video. Very helpful. I'll be subscribing. Thank you for sharing. I'm interested in hearing more about topics like hairloss post pregnancy and the differences and treatment options between dandruff and psoriasis.
dakotakee1: Great video! I love your channel. I would like to see a video about clay washes and charcol detoxes for the scalp. These are getting more popular. But some seem like conditioners vs cleansers.
Quiette Foxworth: Thank you thank you thank you, you are continuing to grace us with your knowledge and wisdom to help us on this hair care journey...may God continue to bless you

Tara Lion: Congrats on 100k subs!!! A question I have is: is scalp exfoliation beneficial or necessary?
Tracey Robinson: This was simplified but packed/backed up with information. I appreciated the education.

Cassandra Catwalk: Thank you for the informative videos. I would like to hear more about silicones such as good and bad and also application and long-term effect
Nurse Raqki Joie: My scalp seems to love witch hazel and tea tree oil so I’ll be going back to that, with a bottle and nozzle. I’ve also been eyeing the liquid shampoo by Carol’s daughter but I have to finish this As I Am JBCO line. Can you talk about pomades for thick, coarse hair vs gels / snots to hold down the hair? My favs: As I Am JBCO line ORS Aloe shampoo + conditioner
I Hassan: I like to know: 1. How soap nuts work on our hair and 2. How to make a conditioning bar soap for black hair
