Patch of greasy hair and rest of hair suddenly curly.

by Marian

Within the last 3 weeks there is a patch of hair on my head that won't get clean! I normally wash my hair every day because it gets greasy after 2 days. I have tried washing just that spot more than the rest, but the patch is getting bigger.

I have had colon cancer within the last year, and am now cancer-free. I have had an ovary removed and am starting menopause, could it be hormone related? Also, after having straight hair all my life (I'm 48) my hair went curly!

I didn't lose any hair and didn't have to have any treatment for the cancer, it just went curly about 4 months ago when I was in the hospital and has stayed like that. I had 6 blood transfusions, could that somehow have made my hair curly?

Possible Cure!?

I have had the exact same thing everyone is describing for about a week now, my hair was progressively getting nastier and nastier.

I decided yesterday to scrub my hair really good with 2 different shampoos and rinse really really really good. When I got out of the shower my hair was 10 times worse than before.

I figured that if my scalp was producing excess oil for some reason I was going to give it a reason to stop! I re-wet my hair and loaded a TON of conditioner into my hair, making sure I really got it on the gross spots and then I combed it through my hair in a whole bunch of directions to make sure it got everywhere. I put saran wrap on my head and let it sit for about 10 minutes and then I rinsed really good, no shamoo or anything else though. I swear to God my hair is totally back to normal!!!

That was yesterday, this morning I washed my hair with baby shampoo and conditioned it again, putting in a regular amount but making sure to get the crown of my head which is an area I normally avoid because my hair is so fine. It is over 12 hours later and my hair does not have a bit of waxy or greasy feeling to it!

I know this sounds totally counter intuitive, but at least give it a try, you've got nothing to lose except icky hair! Let me know if this works!!
