The last 2 times i've dyed my hair i've noticed a greasy type patch on the back on my hair a few days later and i have no idea how to get rid of it, i've shampoo'd it, conditioned it, shampoo without conditioner, conditioner without shampoo and it doesn't seem to go away. I know i rinsed all the hair colour out as its right at the back of my head bout half way down my hair (i have fairly long hair) and being in the shower to rinse, there'd be no way i could miss it.

Does anyone have any idea what it could be and how can i get rid of it?

I don't know what it is, you could try egg to get rid of it, just beat up one or two eggs, Yolk only if you want extra conditioning or yolk and whites if you like, and wash in cool water when you have your next shower, just like you were using shampoo - not hot water, as you'll cook the egg. It seriously cleans your hair and feels great.

Do you wear your hair up most of the time?

Hi,
When my DH has his divine shoulder length red spiral curls, he used to wear it up all the time for work in quite a tight ponytail in exactly the same spot everyday.

He developed a greasy patch and a lump on his scalp like an egg - we think maybe from constant trauma and bruising over such a long period of time. When he eventually got his hair cut ( ddown.gif nno.gif ) the egg and oily spot gradually went away.

Could this be what's happening to your hair - do you wear it up all the time in the same spot?
