Scalp sores can often result from an itchy flaky scalp, where skin is starting to scale and peel off. This, particularly if combined with shampoo that is irritating the scalp, can lead to needing to scratch one's scalp to alleviate this. In doing so, the scalp can become inflamed and lead to sores.

I used a chemical straightener and burned my scalp now my hair is weak and ready to come out how do i prevent it from coming out and heal the burns and sores?
Ah my dear, I do empathize with you, I really do. A case of being there done that, you know. So here's what I can share with you based on my own experiences (I guess I'm a slow learner, lol): It's not possible to stop or slow down the growth of hair, so you will need to keep cutting it until your scalp heals. Now, to heal the burns and sores get you an aloe vera plant. Not a baby one, but one with a good size. Take one pricking leaf and with a toothpick open it at the middle (vertically speaking). You'll notice that inside the leaf there's something that has the consistency of Jello. Well take that substance and apply it on the burns and sores, it will do wonders. How does it works? Well, I'm no scientist, so I cannot explain what is the chemistry in that substance. What I do know is that the aloe vera is the best cellular regenerator there is, and with no side effects. Wherever it is that I live, you'll always find at least three plants in my house. About the weakness of your hair, just give it a bit of time it will come back. We're resilient people my dear from the top of our head to the bottom of our feet!
