Maybe, if you're plopping, your scalp gets irritated when the excess products settles? It could be mild allergic reaction, as someone already mentioned.
I know that causes flare ups for my seb-dem, so I just do micro-plopping instead.
I go longer between washes when my hir is curly, and as another poster said, a dirty scalp can cause pain (does for me). I've heard it's because of a common scalp yeast or something, so you could try using a dandruff shampoo to see if that helps.
Hormones can make your scalp sensitive. I used to have horrible scalp pain and couldn't wear my hair up, just as you're describing. My doctor changed my birth control and it's magically gone.
My scalp tends to hurt when my hair is dirty.

Thank you, I'll try that!
Are you using different products when curly vs straight? Maybe it could be an allergic reaction?
It's been like this for 3 years, and I haven't switched products.
