Hair Thinning/Itchy Scalp from KCCC?

hcook5528

Hi Ladies,

So I've noticed drastic hair thinning over the past month and I think I've narrowed it down to this product. Has anyone else experienced scalp issues with KCCC (Kinky Curly Curling Custard)? I stopped using it over the weekend and just used my Aussie Mousse and had no issues with itching or soreness. I remember when I first used this product my scalp itched pretty badly I just washed it out. Today, after using it again after stopping for the weekend, I notice that my scalp is sore and itching again.

The thing is, the product is free of so many irritating ingredients so I am wondering if this is just me.

Also, I have gotten blood tests and had my Mirena IUD removed to see if maybe this was the cause of the thinning. Blood tests didn't show anything and it's too soon to tell for the IUD. I also have appointments set up with my Dermatologist and Allergist soon so I'm all set there. Just wondering if I'm alone in this.

Thanks!

No product is free from any irritating ingredients.

Any product whether claiming to be non-irritating or not can cause a reaction in someone as peoples immune systems are different.

There are a few posters who have reactions to Kinky Curly products.

You should believe because a product has natural ingredients it can't cause an allergic reaction. Lots of people in the West are allergic to animal hair and pollen. Both are natural substances.

As someone who has had issues with contact dermatitis from babyhood, if a product irritates me I stop using it and throw it in the refuse. Preferably away from my house.

I'm sorry to hear. You're taking good steps to see a doc and derm. You could easily be allergic to something in the KCCC.

It certainly *could* be the KCCC, but I would vote for the Mirena truly being the culprit, here. My hair started to shed hugely several years ago (2008!) and I have been on every hair loss & thinning board there is.. you would by far not be the first woman to have significant hair loss as a side effect of the Mirena, and it takes time to stabilize. and no, it won't show anything in your bloodwork.. just on your scalp.

Me, I have a thyroid issue, and although I have not regained hair, I have stabilized it. I have bouts of scalp itchy reactions to nearly everything, and other times it is totally fine The problem is my immune system not my products, when I have flare ups; at least, it sure seems that way to me.

Don't know if it was because of some product, last year I did riboding which left me with half my hair at the end of the year. still thinning to go bald
