A great quick fix:

1. Apply Know-It-Oil liberally to hair and scalp — the fatty acids of virgin coconut oil are natural to cell walls. Pour or scoop out the oil and massage over wet hair and scalp. Comb through with a wide-toothed comb.
2. Top off with a heavy layer of petroleum jelly such as Grandma Minnie’s The Big, Brave Boo-Boo Balm (which has monolaurin, a coconut-derived soother and anti-inflammatory which can be such a relief for irritated scalps).
3. Wrap hair with a cool wet towel or, better still, plastic cling wrap or a shower cap for at least an hour.
