Itchy winter scalp!

[loveisnthehouse]

My scalp has been itchy all winter! I have tried putting oil it and it hasn't helped, I have been using coconut oil. I am not having any dandruf problems and I don't have anyone known skin problems (although ezcema does run in my family). What can I put on my scalp to stop the itching? It is driving me CRAZY.

I've actually been having a similar issue - and I've been putting Qhemet Biologics Burdock Root Cream on my scalp. Works like a charm - instant relief!

That's not what I bought it for at all lol...but that's what I've mostly been using it for!

Another thing that always does the trick, is squirting some ACV and water in a spray bottle to the scalp. Feels like heaven (even though you prob can't do this as frequently).

ETA: I tried coconut oil at first too, and it didn't help for the dry/itchy scalp. I think a cool creamy product might do the trick. This winter I've had to readjust my regimen A LOT

ok mabye im weird, but i actually enjoy my scalp iches, and all i know is that every week my hair looks longer. i mean, maybe scratching helps me <shrugs>

It may be due to the heat, which dries up everything. I would suggest drinking more water and using tea tree or apply sea breeze with a cotton ball through the scalp to calm it down. I hope this helps.

oh, one other thing, i rememeber when i was a little girl my mother put sulfer 8 in my hair and i didnt itch.

i've had this problem too. i increased my washes to 2x per week but it's annoying and too much manipulation. i'll try using a cream on my scalp. thanks 4 the advice.

Try using Sulfur8. It does wonder for my dry itching scalp when I wear braids.

Pure tea tree oil (diluted) helps me a lot with my itchy scalp.

Okay, so Sulfer 8 and tea tree have been mentioned the most. Does Sulfer 8 have a strong smell, and if so does it go away?

AdoraAdora24 - the itching could be to growth for me too, I have started back up on my HSN recently. However, i dont want to scracth because I have a feeling I am teearing up my scalp. Hopefully I am getting TONS of growth though!

Why did my scalp suddenly start itching when I read this thread? LOL!

I agree with the tea tree oil and also lavender oil helps me. I wouldn't scratch too much...plus who wants to be walking around at work scratching their head? I know I would get some funny looks.

 

[loveisnthehouse]

LOL. Last night I did a DC and massaged my head (wow... heaven) with coconut oil and that has cut down on the itchiness a lot. I'm still thinking I may try the Sulfer 8 though.

you could use the lite formula (the pungent) and mix it with your fave hair moisturizer for the smell.

YES, IT DOES!!!! My mother used to grease my scalp with it when I was a little girl & I would smell my hair outside. It was the worst--especially in the summertime. She used to use the one in the yellow jar, btw. She never used the medicated one in the blue jar.

OP, I have just started greasing my scalp w/ Boundless Tresses Revitalizing Hair Balm. I bought it for my edges, but the consistency is too much for my edges. I applied it to my scalp on Sunday, and I have not smacked (yes, smacked--my hair used to itch so badly that I would smack it) it once since.
