Yes! I was *just* reading about this in the last few days, because this has been a huge problem for me since the accident I was in.

I have actually found several sources state that having a head injury can increase or create dandruff and/or dry scalp.

The fungus which is on our scalps normally and naturally has gotten out of control for some reason... I wish I knew why this happens to people suffering from neurological disorders.

Dr.'s online and other reputable sources recommend washing your hair every day, but that much shampoo would dry my hair out too much.

My hair dresser suggested using coconut oil on my scalp, but I've tried it and it doesn't help. (Plus, she doesn't know anything about head injuries.) Other than that, I've just tried to scrub my scalp and hair every morning whether or not I'm using shampoo.

The T-gel and other dandruff shampoos tend to dry out my long, curly hair which makes it super frizzy and crazy-looking. Personally, I'd much rather deal with the itchiness and flakes than to have unruly hair.

I found a product called "no-poo" and I just ordered it. It's a daily cleanser that's not supposed to dry your hair out. I'll try to remember to report back here after I've used it for a while and let you know if it helps.

OK. Thanks for those replies.

The T-Gel can be used just on the scalp sort of like getting roots done. There may be a T-Gel like scalp treatment to leave on the scalp.

I used T-gel and let it sit to tingle a bit then rewashed my fine hair with a conditioning shampoo.
