Hair coloring

Many people like to color their hair using harsh bleach and have to blend it with hair patch/ hairpiece colors. However, this also causes scalp or hair patch itching because bleach may cause too much dryness and these colors have the harm chemical properties that can mean even more discomfort.

Here is a solution: if you don't stop hair coloring, you should use coconut oil and massage your scalp with soft hands after applying hair colors. Leave the oil on your scalp for 2-3 hours to help soothe your skin and help relieve any remaining itchiness.

Cheap hair systems
