Itchy Scalp!!?

I take a shower almost everyday to every other day. When I blow dry my hair ,or even air dry it after a couple of hours my hair/scalp starts to itch. When I scratch my hair/scalp little pieces of off- white colored substance is gathered underneth my nail.( it's deffintly not flakes of dandruff) It so annoying. Is there any shampoos or products that you recomend that i try? I don't know what it is!!!!!

thanks for your time!

Don't worry, its probably some shampoo or conditioner residue in your hair. I used to have that problem too until I switched to Head and Shoulders. But I've heard that Pantene also helps and another tip is to not wash it so much.

Good Luck!

If it isn't dandruff, it might be residue buildup. Make sure you rinse your hair thoroughly. Also, I notice that some shampoos make my head itch, so maybe that's the cause for you too. Maybe try something else...I use Pantene.

Hon, it may be dandruff! You could try using Head and Shoulders. If it really isn't dandruff that you have, the dandruff shampoo won't go to waste because you can use it on regular hair too.

Maybe you aren't rinsing all the shampoo out of your hair, so when you blow dry, it causes irritation.

OR maybe you wash your hair too much and just have a dry scalp now! I've heard it recommended SO many times not to wash your hair every day. If you do, over time your scalp stops producing it's own moisture, and as a result- dryness and flakes!!

I definiately think that blow drying or using heat would add to this irritation.

I almost always let my hair air dry. It's healthier for your hair anyway! I only blow dry when I don't have a lot of time.

Hope this helps.

Like the first comment says, I use Pantene as well! Love it!

Its probably build up. Once a week, wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo to remove the build up. Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special Shampoo and Conditioner works great. It remove build up and helps with itching. It smell like pepermint though, so that might bother some people.

If it continues, see a doctor. They should be able to tell you if its dandruff.

Well it really depends on your hair type

So if your African American you shouldnt wash you hair everyday and you should try Olive OIl Spray

And if your White try Using herbal essence

If its not dandruff of dry scalp you may want to think about psoriasis or eczema. There are several products over the counter that can help but usually you to see an MD for a prescibe liquid or lotion to clear it up.

Paul Mitchell's Tea Tree Oil shampoo and conditioner are wonderful for that. Aveda makes a product called Scalp Remedy (it's a leave in product) that I love too. I use all 3 and they work great.
