i've been usin aloe vera after i shaved my head, and i have no irritation nor breakouts whatsoever, & i'm sastified with that O0
HOWEVER, i've noticed on tha days i don't shave my head, i put aloe vera on my head, in order to keep it moistured, & i've noticed that i flake, & i scratch occasicanlly. :o :o :o :o :o
i've also noticed that it looks like some white residue on my head, & it kind of stands out when i look in the mirror. ??? :-[
i've taken showers & tried to wash the residue off my head, & it's still on there. ??? :-[
QUESTIONS:
am i infected with aloe vera? ???
am i doin the right thing by just using aloe vera on my head? ???
am i doin somethin wrong? ???
is there anyway to wash this "white residue" aloe vera off my head?? ???
i'm really confused & somewhat upset. :-[ :Xo!

I use aloe in an aftershave mixture that I make. It has aloe, witch hazel, and tea tree oil in it. I have no residue problems with that.
Make certain that you are getting a high quality aloe gel. I buy mine from GNC and it's on the pricey side but it lasts a long time because I only use it as part of my mix.
Maybe do some google searches on this topic.

I use an organic aloe product and its really help smooth out my scalp and alway ready for the next days shave. Check out the ingredients, something in it might be causing the flakes.

Dude, there's your answer.....SHAVE EVERYDAY! O0
You're sounding like me. Shaving everyday is a must to keep the itch away.

wouldn't shaving everyday irritate your skin? ???

^^^^^^
Not certain all cases are the same. But for me, shaving my dome completely alleviated my suffering with sebhorreic dermatitus. Seems odd that shaving would be a remedy, but in addition to keeping the dome smooth, shaving removed any other crud (dead skin, etc) that might otherwise accumulate.
Different strokes for different folks, but shaving daily with proper use of a post-shave moisturizer might be the way to go for you.

Grat advice shro. I like to shave everyday too. It gets rid of the stubble that builds up. I use Aloe Vera too and it helps.

First time posting here, thanks for all this info. Is aloe vera without alcohol better, and am I right in thinking that you should treat your noggin as an extension of your face, and that is don't use anything with alcohol to dry out the skin, and use a good face wash or something, and moisturize after shaving?
Also shro, thanks for your tip. Shaving everyday makes my scalp less irritable and has relieved dandruff flakes which I suffered from previously, it also looks better.
Embrace the baldness:-)

I've been using Aloe Vera for years and have never had any breakouts whatsoever. I shave every morning.

So, we are assured that Aloe vera is side effect free.
