Itchy Scalp Is Driving Me Crazy

I am at my wits end of itchy scalp. I have been using Head & Shoulders and it has damaged my hair.
Can anyone please recommend a remedy or solution to itchy dry scalp.

See a dermatologist and find out the cause. Is it an allergy to silicone, dry skin etc.

Head and shoulders made me itch even more.

My method is, swap shampoo and conditioner each week, I have a few to cycle through. I only ever condition the ends of my hair and shampoo twice, sometimes only once. It's made a huge difference. If all that fails, try contacting Ethan Thomas on Facebook, he chose products to bring my hair back to life after I killed it.

Try Omega 3 supplementation. 1 x 1000mg in the morning and 1x at night. May take at least a month for you to notice a difference.

LOreal Paris Serie Expert Sensi Balance Shampoo OR Kerastase - Specifique Bain Vital Dermo-Calm. Both are hard to find and quite expensive so I will use the kids palmolive 3 in 1 in between. Wash hair more frequently, not leaving it more than 2 days to wash. Shampoo twice, if conditioning only do the ends. If its real bad I will take an antihistamine but I also get itchy skin all over. I have allergies to amines and salycilates and love food too much 😅 fml

Go to your chemist and ask the pharmacist to recommend something. Did this for my son whose scalp was so itchy he was scratching it until it bled. I cant remember what the pharmacist gve him (definitely not head and shoulders) but it cleared it up in a few days

Thank you. Because I live in Darwin and our climate has a high humidity, I have dry hair.

You probably have scalp psoriasis. I get this and I order a scalp solution from a chemist in Melb and they post it out. It clears my scalp it’s the only thing that works. It’s amazing! Chemist number is 03 9379 7797give them a call. They have other things also for eczema and psoriasis. This scalp solution is amazing. It comes with a syringe to squirt it on to make it easier.
