What are the red spots on my scalp?

Little red “stress bumps” are pretty common to newly locked scalps, especially around the hairline. They’re usually a skin irritation from having your hair pulled into tight sections and generally monkeyed with. Try using a little Cooling Moisture Spray to banish the itch – and DO NOT scratch them!
If you don’t see them going down after a couple of days, you might want to consult your health pro – you may have an allergy or sensitivity.
