sometimes the tension from a single strand being pulled can make the scalp very sore. So maybe that's it.

I scratch when my scalp itches. I never really knew of it to be bad for your scalp. Is it?

Well, it depends. If you sractch your scalp--or any part of your body--too much, the skin can be damaged. Have you ever scatched your arm and noticed a red swollen welp there afterwards, or even bleeding? The same thing happens to your scalp.
I would just go easy, and if it is persistent itching you are trying to combat, try massaging with tea tree (my fav) or peppermint essential oil.

Progress...not perfection
I will scratch if it itches, but since I've been natural the only time that really happens is if I sleep in conditioner overnight. When I was relaxed, right when the idea "touch-up" popped into my brain, my head would start itching like crazy. Then I would have to wait to do the touch up, ususally washing it again and waiting a couple of days.

When my head used to itch was when I was wearing sewn-in weaves and I would pat and scratch, know my scalp rarely itches, except when I think relax time, then it goes into overdrive.
LOL! Same thing happens to me.

I try not to scratch, but sometimes, I just can't help it! I try to rub it or massage it, but that isn't always sufficient. Sometimes I need to gently scratch.
