Is It just a Dry Scalp?Or is it More?
Based on the Paper “Oils, Oils, and More Oils” by Amanda White
Which combination of oils work best to fight dandruff in African
hair?
While some of the blame is in your hands, most of it isn’t.
The Culprit is...
No Need to Be Ashamed

• Malassezia, the yeast like fungus. (Under a Microscope)
• Different types are practically everywhere
What is this Monster?
This is Malassezia on Skin
This special fungus can infect you in more ways than one!
But still don’t worry
It’s mostly harmless!Except to your ego and self esteem...
Pityriasis versicolor

• Malassezia lives off the lipids that sit right beneath the epidermis.
• It “feeds” on them within the dermis which causes more cells to become dry.
• When the “feeding is complete” the cells become part of the epidermis, thus...
Scientifically Speaking

When they become dry you get results like this.
(The common uninflamed form of seborrhoeic dermatitis is commonly called dandruff.)

30+ Years of ExperienceClients are Regulars
A Quick Interview
“I take of her clients who are regulars, but
a few [non regulars] I highly
recommend a hot oil treatment. Do not
to use dandruff shampoo. They can
irritate [the scalp] and create more
[dandruff] and dry out the hair. You
need to drink lots of water. […] If it
gets too bad, I refer them to a doctor.”Angie Fox, Professional Beautician

Optional but Discouraged: Ironing
Conducted on March 8th
• Only Shampoo was applied, conditioner was not.
• Coconut Oil was applied to the scalp and hair, left to dry, no extra rinse.
Wash 1
Results:• Hair was still wet for the
next two days• Dryness and immediate
dandruff return (In non-wet parts)
Conducted March 10th
• Shampoo and Conditioner were used
• Coconut Oil and Argan Oil applied, let sit
• Extra Rinse hours later
Wash 2
Results• No dryness until about
Seven days later. Actually felt a bit greasy
• No immediate dandruff, but built up over time
• Stopped washing hair so often after interview with Ms. Fox
March 20th
• Shampoo and Conditioner applied
• Coconut and Argan Oil mask
• Extra Rinse after a few hours
Wash 3
Results:• No dryness, until after a few
days• a little bit of dandruff
From here on out, I decide to follow steps from Wash 2with minor variations
March 27th
• Hair was rinsed before the application of shampoo.All secondary products (conditioner, Coconut oil, etc.)were mixed together before applying
• Mixture was left on for about five hours before rinse
ResultsHair was well moisturized until it was flat ironed. A little bit of dandruff at
the front of the scalp.
Wash 4
March 30th • Shampoo applied before wetting hair. Slight ammount of water added
after. • Worked into scalp for roughly ten minutes before rinse. • Coconut oil applied to scalp, a mixture of Argan Oil and conditioner
applied to ends and hair shafts.• Set for three hours befor rinseResults:Hair Relatively dry, a little bit of dandruff sitting in hair.
Wash 5
1) Malassezia is everywhere!
2) For hair to grow, it needs to be clean but also have enough oils. Washing
too often is a forbidden action as that can dry out the scalp and hair
more.
3) With the right combination of time and oils, dandruff can be held at bay
for at the most five days. (As seen in Wash 2)
