6 Soothing Tools For An Itchy Sew-In Weave

Sometimes, a scalp spray just won't cut it.

Beyonce’s “Get Me Bodied” had us all dancing and “patting our weaves” in 2006, but anyone who’s ever worn a weave knows that the “dance move” isn’t as fun as it seems. In short: attempting to sooth an itchy scalp without disturbing your cornrows is a constant struggle.

Giphy

Obviously, the most important day of the year. Where would the world be without Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter, first of her name, of House Knowles-Carter, daughter of Tina Knowles-Lawson, sister of St. Solange, and Ruler of Pop Culture? This day also marks the release of B’Day, an underrated gem.

If you’ve tried it all (scalp sprays, rinses, anti-itch cream) and still feel the urge to claw at your scalp, try one of these soothing tools instead.

The Weave Scratcher

Find solace in the Weave Scratcher which is firm, lightweight, compact and has small round balls on the tip that keep it from being too rough on the scalp.
