+1 and similar story here with the shampoo. After years of trying different brands and treatments, I just started rinsing my hair and scalp under warm water (not hot) and sort of combing the oils from scalp to tip til it all felt even, and then let it air dry. I’d wash with a little bit of T-Sal every so often when it felt like it was more waxy than oily, or if the scalp was getting too “oozy.”

I make a hair and beard oil with food grade mineral oil, vitamin E oil, some camphor oil and a drop or two of tea tree extract. I use it as a leave-in conditioner after I wash my hair with shampoo. It probably doesn’t do much, but it smells nice I like the texture it leaves my hair.

For my face, I switched over to the Dr. Bronner’s Castile soap with tea tree extract, and Cetaphil to moisturize after. It worked OK.

Eventually I had a psoriatic arthritis flare up accompanied by the worst eczema I think I’ve ever had. I got with a rheumatologist who put me on Otezla, which both knocked the arthritis right down and improved my skin.

The “no 'poo” method is still working great for me except for when it was overcome by that bad flare up. While the Otrzla worked some miracles, I can’t really recommend it-- it’s been really harsh in my stomach and I still have to take it with a Zantac.

When I told my dermatologist I was working with a rheumatologist for the psoriasis, she heartily agreed that was a better specialist than her to treat the condition. If you have the means to do so, you might try an initial consultation with one in your area.
