Ok, so many of you already know what shealoe butter is, but for those of you who don't know, it's just 100% raw unrefined shea butter mixed with 100% aloe vera juice/gel. Mine was made with aloe vera juice. I just put the two together in a tupperware and whipped them with a hand blender.
Well anyway, I think I'm allergic to it. It makes my scalp flake a lot and I had a lot of tender spots on my scalp as well that were itchy, but they hurt too much to scratch. Anyway, I stopped using it two days ago and those tender spots have already almost all faded.
I seem to remember when I first started my hair journey I did well with just cowashing. It really kept my hair and scalp moisturized for most of the day and it was really good. After my hair grew a little longer, I started using shea butter - which kinda weighed my hair down and made parts of my scalp a little itchy, but I didn't really think anything of it. I think that mixing it with the aloe vera juice made it worse for my scalp.
Soooo I think I'll probably stop using the shea butter. I just need to find another sealer so I can keep the moisture in my hair. Any suggestions?

Shea is a tree nut so keep an eye out for other reactions to tree nuts. I can't use it and if it's a lip balm in a high enough quantity my lips will tingle.
castor oil and castor oil are good for moisture. good luck
