Waxy crown
In november of 2010 i randomly developed a greasy spot on the crown. It felt terrible! Atleast two inches of my hair had a terrible waxy feel to it. I thought I had just left conditioner in it so the next day I showered a few days later and it never came out! It only got worse! I lived with it. Every few showers and it would go away but it come back A's quickly As it left. It's caused much frustration to me and I'm starting to really become desperate. My mother refuses to take me to the doctor and it's been going on forever. I stopped using garnier and started using tea tree shampoo but it's no longer doing it for me. I only wash my hair twice a week now. I am desperate to find out what is happening to me!

I’M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT MAY HAPPEN AS A R LOLESULT OF TAKING TAKE MY ADVICE AS CONING FROM “JUST SOME GUY” TALKING ABOUT ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE.
THIS INFORMATION HAS BEEN COMPILED BY MYSELF OVER THE COURSE OF ROUGHLY 6 MONTHS. I’M NOT GOING TO BE DESCRIBING MY SYMPTOMS,AND EXPERIANCED THEY ARE YOURS.
NEVERTHELESS HERE IS A “HIGHLIGHT” OF MY EXPERIENCE- THIS WILL CERTAINLY LET YOU KNOW I’M PART OF THE “CLUB.”
AS I WAS FIGURING EVERYTHING OUT/TRIAL & ERROR I WAS BRIEFLY HOUSED IN NYC’S FAMOUS BELVUE PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL. I HAD COME IN WITH CHEST TIGHTNESS
WITH MY NEVK BEING SCRAPED UP FROM A RAZOR AND “RAMBLING” ABOUT “HAIR UNDER MY SCALP. I WAS “VOLUNTARILY” (TO PREVENT INVOLUNTARY i.e. COERCION AND INTIMIDATION) (COMMITTED FOR BEING “PSYCHOTIC. I MADE A STUPID BUT PURPOSELY NON THREATENING COMMENT.”
(Caps got annoying,,for all of us I’m sure)!, just wanted to use them for the “disclaimer”)
Anyway I was having chest tightness (anxiety), this was from my overall level of angst being through the roof. The fact is when you are being inadvertently “gaslit” by literally everyone you can certainly question your sanity, you think “maybe I really am ‘crazy,” you’re not.
Ok so what is it?
OK SO HERE IS HOW TO FIX IT:
It is a tangle of VERY VERY fine “vellus hairs.” They have fused/keratonized over many, maybe most of your life.
Did you ever have dreads?
Super tight braids?
A tangle of some sort that was so tight it just kinda became “part of your scalp,” it was tied down in the back, top, everywhere. It made it so tight I couldn’t even tell that it was there, my hair was (I don’t know how) growing through it.
When I shaved it off, it extremely hard to start the buzzer. When I thought it was done I would discover an other layer like a week later . The hairs looked like they were my “scalp” because the invisible, Vellus hairs intertwined and just kinda held everything in place, the whole thing was very close to flesh tone.
Mine started off with what must have been 20+ years of tangle. The hair tied itself down to my scalp in an in credibly intricate way. Like two spirals If you take a tweezer and grab some of does it move around like a weird solid but not go anywhere?
So essentially this is your hair with a decades old literal network of Vellus hairs holding them together. The hairs are super soft and fine so they just kinda stay in place. In the places they are woven down side by side they look like a solid wax.
Ok so HERE is how to fix it. So here is what you need to get all off!
• NAIR (the magic ingredient!) the “face” variety is more gentle on your skin, you can try different depilatories if you wish, but this is what I used.
• A HIGH QUALITY BUZZER, the “Whal Peanut,” or better. We want it sharp and precise, it’s just better this way,
• A HIGH QUALITY ELECTRIC RAZOR, the kind with a screen (not the circles or whatever) I like Braun.
• DISPOSABLE RAZOR W/plenty of extra blades. The Gillette “Fusion Sensitive” was ideal for me. You want everything to be as
non irritating as possible.
• SHAVING CREAM
• VASOLINE (to provides lunrication for getting out knots)
• CORTISONE CREAM(make sure to use very little, if you have/get strong Rx cream and you put on too much it can literally make you jittery/heart race. Like everything else I learned “the hard way.” In that case I used soap and water, washed it off and took a Klonipin or Xanax (get some).
• A “TWEEZER MAN” SLANTED TWEEZER (keep it clean with Alcohol so it grabs better)
• A “TWEEZERMAN” pointed tweezer, I really liked the (unusually shaped) “splinter model.”
• “TEND SKIN” you will be using this to remove the ingrown hairs on the margin.
First, if you haven’t you need to shave your head, just do it. The good news is that the “bald spots” will be revealed as exactly what they are- hair. It’s all hair.
OK, because you are dealing with hair, and pretty much only hair you will be dissolving it with -NAIR- this will be a wonderful moment. You should work from the edges up, this way you won’t mess up the “ballance.”
The balance is very important if it is super tight, that’s how mine “plastisized,” (seems like a good name) it will pull on one side and maybe even feel scary on your neck. Remember you may have slot of ingrown (white) hairs around your neck, expose and get rid of these with the Nair and razors. If you have these they came from tiny hairs collecting over the years, they traveled down your body with sweat/gravity and got into different creases and seem to have hardened with something. That’s what I came up with.
If they are around your neck/shoulders it is way more important than your head. Slowly get rid of it, get help from somebody who has a better feel for this type of stuff if you don’t get it. Remove keep it balanced, this includes the back. DO THIS SLOWLY! ANYTIME I WENT TO FAST/CARELESS (mostly during trial and error) something put pressure around my neck and I (nearly) panicked. Keep your high quality, buzzer, shaver and blades at the ready.
These hairs are acseoerstr issue but if the overgrowth/knowingness got to this level on your head it is probably doing stuff elsewhere. Put a small amount of Nair on your chest (sweat runs down your chest). If there are a lot GET HELP from a Dr. take video etc.
The ingrown hairs around your neck is one of the places where the electric razor will help out. If it got this tight around your head for the tight spouse then use the electric razor to slow log and carefully even it out, If this is your case it will take practice.
So for your head, a put some Nair in the small area you are ready to talkie.,work in small patches from the margins up. For example 2 inches up left side burns then 2 inches right sideburn.
The Nair will immediately expose and remove hairs, follow the instructions, move with a hot towel etc. You will then see the hair get kinda “crisp” (I hate that word) this will just keep happening.
So as the hair hardens/gets crispy or whatever this is where your choice of razors comes in. Just keep Naring and removing, slowly,
Use the other stuff as you see fit. The powder is to put all over yourself if it gets tight around your neck while wet, it will loosen it a bit. Again because this comes from hair that got tight that didn’t know about, the ingrown (mine were thick and white) are prob part of it.
Remember, your scalp has been covered for a long, maybe very long time. Get it checked by a Dermatologist, oh avd here is a tip. Just show the doctor(s) your symptoms, let them figure it out. Don’t mention the waxy feeling, they are wearing gloves and it will just add to their BS.
Hope this helped. Good Luck!

MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL
Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be seborrheic dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, Discoid lupus, tinea capitis or contact dermatitis. You may be suffering from Tinea Capitis or Ringworm (fungal infection) of the scalp. Ringworm is a fungal skin infection that occurs on the face, body or scalp. To confirm the diagnosis you need to get an evaluation done from a dermatologist and get a biopsy skin done.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
