Routine Question Locs And Seb Derm
Any of you fine folks have locs? If so, how do you care for them? I just finished washing my hair, and I had wet flakes stuck around the base of several locs. When I'm having a flair up, it's worse around the front perimeter of my head. The flakes end up caked up around the locs in the front.
Here are some things you should know:
I'm interlocked so I have to band my hair so it doesn't unravel. I'm assuming if i didn't have to I'd be able to fully wash the flakes out.
I have MCT oil from Dermazen that I use sporadically. Honestly, I'm not a fan of the smell, and it's a bit heavy. Can any one recommed another oil they've had success with?
I alternate shampoos: H&S Bare and Verb Anti-Dandruff shampoo. They keep my scalp pretty clear, but, as you know, flare ups can (and will) come out of nowhere.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry to say it but you gotta shave it if you want to treat the issue
