Thanks Sept!

I hadn't thought of witch hazel before (actually, until now I didn't even know what it was for). Perhaps I will try that --- but not my normal toner (the one I use on my face) on my scalp, right?

I also wonder if I get up near the hairline when I wash my face. I'm always cautious about getting the facewash into my hair. Maybe that's part of the problem, too.

I don't have particularly sensitive skin; it's fair, but doesn't break out in rashes a lot or anything. Who knows. I am so inept at hair care and beauty stuff. I used to blame my mom for not teaching me that stuff. Really, she doesn't know much about it either. And, I'm trying not to blame other people so much for my problems anymore.

Thanks again!

PS: I wonder why my smilies didn't show up in my first post. They looked great on the "preview", but when I went to the forum, they weren't there. All it showed was the text you type in to make the smilies. Can anybody see my smilies? Does anyone know why that might happen?
