Hair itchiness and white things stuck to hair

[justagirl109]

I've had this problem with my hair for almost a year now. My head is ALWAYS SO itchy and it drives me nuts. NOTHING works- i use a LOT of hair products but I dont think it's all from that. Not only do I have a scalp itchiness problem but I also have these with things stuck to my hair. It's so weird, I panicked for like a week thinking it was head lice so I went out and boucht one of those Nit combs and used it on my hair. ALL those white oval shaped things came out, but no lice??? I'm so confused. After about three days after I combed, the white things came back. I don't understand- I fit was head lice both my son AND my husband AND everyone at my work would hair it (due to hairbrushes and headsets). I just dont get it, Ive looked up every scalp thing on the internet and NOTHING sounds like this white stuff on my hair but head lice- but I've checked so many times. PLEAASSSSE HELP!!!

It is possible that you have myiasis (fly- type parasite living inside your scalp.)I have it and feel something tiny continually hit my head or a crawling sensation. So I shaved my head which made it easier to clean but more sensations too. The reason why this white/black specked flying parasite comes to you is they communicate with each other and are attracted to a head that is already infected. I finally found a product that is getting them out of head and is non-toxic.Cleans them off body helps heal lesions, sores, infested skin. It got them out of my fingers. Search debriding soap,NG.It work.  Tricky thing is the population is hovering and flying around your home and you and anything that you come within 5-10 feet of sill get reinfected. The internal body may be as well.  I'm about to begin a borax food graded mixture with liwuid hydrogen peroxide to kill them inside. Also going to try tetrasodium edta with ammonium chloride. Just do a search. I plan on leaving everything behind, go into a far infrared sauna, regular one, remove sll hair, hath and showe,  coming out to new clothes someone brings. Also need to get healthy so they don't come to you in the future.so it is a multi pronged approac,  internal, external, and beginning anew.

I have the same thing. The white, oval things on your strands of hair are called "hair casts". I also thought I had head lice because the white things wrapped around my strands of hair and I could only get them off by sliding them all the way down the strand of hair. However, they came out easily. Nits, they stick into the hair shaft, not wrapping around it, and are hard to get off. When my oldest daughter had head lice the only way I could get the nits out was by using my fingernails or a nit comb. But Google "hair casts" for more info about them. Hope this helps!

Dear eve15, Did you ever find an answer to your problem?  I hope so. If you did, could you share it with me?  I have had a similar problem for about eight years now, except in my case, the texture of my hair has become HARD and WIRY. It looks like such a tangled, unkempt mess that I finally had to start wearing a wig, mind you, before this all happened, I had beautiful baby fine, slightly wavy hair. Women actually used to come up to me on the street and ask me who my hairdresser was!  In addition, the roots of my hair come out and they are completely bent and deformed looking!  A doctor I went to thought it was black piedra fungus, but when she examined it under a microscope it wasn't. Like I said, I really hope your problem has been cleared up and that you can possibly share your solution with me.  Thanks so much.  Sincerely, D.

Well, whatever they are I have them. Tiny hard white bumps that come out using a nit comb. They are definitely dead if they were ever alive.  I use white vinegar and let it sit for a while, then when I run the comb through my hair, these little gooey patches are on the comb.  I next rub in some 92% rubbing alcohol in case there is any living in there and to sterilize. Then I use a dr. bonners to shampoo with some oil in it.  I figure if it is a living thing like lice between the vinegar, alcohol and oil it has to be dead.  Most of these things are toward the back of my head, so I'm thinking it would just be allergy to pillow or pillowcase or what I wash them with.

!!!!!SEA SALT, SEA SALT, SEA SALT, SEA SALT, SEA SALT, SEA SALT!!!!!! Best Demodex Mite killer hands down.
Best Malessezia Yeast (the ******* responsible for seborrheic dermatitis and alopecia) killer hands down.
WHAT TO DO: 1. Add PLENTY of the Sea Salt to hot water;  2. apply plenty hot water to area/s you'll be cleansing (as hot as you can stand) to open the pores, and then apply hot water and sea salt mixture;  3. DO NOT rinse if using on scalp, groin, etc. If using on face, leave on for at least 5 mins.
Do this face wash every day 1-2 times a day. Other areas 1 times a day.
**If you have several places on body with issue... wash ALL areas at same time... mites move from one location to the next if necessary. Demodex & Malessezia live in nose hair follicles, in eyelash/brow follicles, deep in ears, teeth/gums, scalp hair follicles, along sides of nose in crease, temples, chin 'dip', and more. You MUST knock out ENTIRE population or infestation will return.
IF MOISTURIZER BECOMES NEEDED: Very often if infestation is bad, the first week or so your skin will sluff off as if you've been burned. Sea Salt naturally dries out healthy skin, so...If skin gets to dry you can mix 3 drops of straight Tea Tree Oil with a small Organic Coconut Oil and use as moisturizer. NEVER use Undiluted Tea Tree Oil; and since it's an oil, it can ONLY be diluted using another oil... oil and water do NOT mix!
Wash ALL bedding and laundry... ALL of it (socks, undies, pants, shorts, hats, shirts, scarfs, EVERYTHING in the hottest water the material will allow if avoiding shrink issues AND BUNCH of SEA SALT! NO laundry detergents! No fabric softeners. ONLY SEA SALT & H20!! Never reuse clothing item or towels more than once until you get this crap under control!
Use spray bottle and spray mattresses, pillows, couches, chairs, etc. with Sea Salt and H20 at least every 3rd day.
Sorry folks that's ALL you should use on your body, laundry, furniture until you get this under control. You can NOT use ANY hand soaps, face soaps, organic soaps, pure castille soaps, make up remover, skin syrums, ANY type of body moisturizers, no deodorants, no perfumes... NOTHING. Both of these leeching bastards live off OILS (hence the love for our particularly over-producing, uber oily, sebaceous glands/follicles).... ALL and ANY oils and sugars. They eat, break them down, multiply, and die. Malessezia yeast leave their waste all over us, creating a nasty bio-film cream and/or grayish grease that contains stuff that Demodex feed off of... so one out of hand issue ,can lead to another for some. You think that's gross? Demodex burrow into your skin to die and decompose there. Not full of goose bumps yet? Google images of Demodex Mites before bed tonight. You'll have bought every container of Sea Salt in your zip code by 7am tomorrow morning.
ALL THIS SEEMS CRAZY WORK TIME CONSUMING, who has the time??? If you are truly as miserable as all the posts scream above... YOU!!! Take this time for yourself and better your quality of life!
I hope this not only helps a few of you, but hundreds of you. I'm not sure if it's a cure all, but if you put in the manic effort, and are determined to kill this problem... this will get you a sure-fire 95% of the way there, if not to that seemingly impossible 100%.
