Barring physical reasons, my nerves make my scalp itch.

Is it dry? I've noticed that the switch to air conditioned environments is angering my hair and scalp mightily.

Do you think the daily cowashing might be the culprit, even though your hair is clean? I know if I co-wash too much w/out actually washing my scalp that my scalp gets irritated.

 

[Kerryann]

Not dry its very moisturized.

The Cowashing is not the problem i dont think because ive been cowashing for just about 2 months everyday and never had a problem not to mention i make sure get up in my scalp everyday so i cant understand. i am thinking can it be growing i dont know this is just ridiculous

I've always had dry scalp, no matter what, so I started using ORS No More Flakes. It's a balm, and you put it on your scalp like grease, but it doesn't have petroleum or mineral oil in it which is great. It works good for itchy scalp.

What are you co-washing with? Perhaps you've developed a reaction to ingredients.

[butterfly_wings]

Try a few drops of tea trea oil when you next cowash and airdry, this always helps me

 

[Kerryann]

thank you i will try this

Hey Ladies,

I msut be honest my scalp stopped itching when I started using MN. I noticed that when I was a slave to the salon after my hair was washed it would itch in the same spots. When I found LHCF and learned about fungus and MN I used it and no more it. I apply castor oil, MN a little peppermint EO (I love the tingle) and it is a non issue.

I'm not saying this is a miracle cure it just made sense....for me.

this foolishness just started this week its making me very uncomfortable

Well then it's probably the conditioner you've been using this week. It doesn't agree with you. Wash with something different tomorrow.

Cowashing makes my scalp itchy....

Cowashing makes my scalp itchy....

ITA, every time I cowash I get the itchies. It's worse when i comb through the hair while the conditioner is in. Once I rinse, I feel like screaming. The more I scratch, the more I itch!

 

[Denise11]

Hair growing does not itch. The cowashing may be the culprit.

Are you on a no-poo routine? Perhaps your scalp needs to be exfoliated or clarified.

Is your hair staying moist all day or for extended periods. If so, watch out for fungus, especially in the heat of summer. If you are not against shampoo, try Nizoral 1%.

It could be the conditioner, but if this keeps up, I would consult a dermatologist as you may have seborrheic dermatitis. It may damage your follicles if left unchecked.

thats funny you say that i told myself i will wash with shampoo once a week now not the usual once a month im so going to was when i get home

 

[~NanCeBoTwin~]

I was going to say it could be build up from cowashing so much, so you may want to clarify.

I cowash about 3-4 x's per week, sometimes more. I tend to clarify every 3 weeks or so...

 

[MummysGirl]

Sounds like product buildup on your scalp... I cowash 4 times a week but I try to soap/shampoo wash once every 3-4 weeks (or even earlier if my hair's misbehaving). Some people need to do it more often than 3 e.g. weekly, biweekly... I learned I dont *need* to do that.

Do you apply anything directly to your scalp? E.g. growth aids, oils,?

yes i do i apply mega tek

 

[Chevelure618]

try stopping cowashing for a while. try oiling your scalp with something soothing...then wash with diluted or very mild shampoo.

could be something in the cowash you are using that built up

Is this week the first time you've used the v05 vita burst? If so, you may be allergic to one of the ingredients.

I really don't think it's cowashing in general that's causing this problem for you.

 

[Black Hoya Chick]

maybe you need to clarify?

 

[Traycee]

Awwww...Sweetie...I know how you feel..To soothe the itching till you figure out the source...I would suggest Bendryl...

Hope you feel better soon..

This not the first time i've used it so i dont understand but im going to get a clarifying shampoo later to wash with because this is ridiculous. it it was just me in this trailer working right now i would run across the street get some shampoo and conditioner and wash my hair

 

[Kerryann]
