No conditioner on my scalp, day 5

Skipped conditioner on my scalp for 7 days, just rinsed with water there instead. By day 5 the flaking along my hairline actually looked calmer! Though my ends got kinda dry so im not sure it’s sustainable. Been doing this between job apps and knitting rows to keep my hands busy. Not saying it fixed anything, just the first small thing that felt like it moved the right way in a while.
