Itchy head?

Over the past couple of weeks I have noticed that my scalp has become crazy itchy.

I haven't noticed flakes or anything like that, it just really itches.

I have recently started to cut back washing my hair to every other day when I don't work out.

But it seems itchier on days I DO wash it.

I did recently dye it again (same brand I've used for years) and for the most part, I use shampoos/conditioners from Trader Joe's.

The only product I use in my hair is argan oil. That too I've been using for awhille.

What do you think could be making it so sensitive?

Any recs to make it stop?

I had this recently, drove me NUTS. All I did was switch shampoos and it helped.

Itchy head?

Get the nutragena tgel shampoo. It smells like mothballs, but really helps. I use it every few days.

Thanks ladies.

And Jenn, I love how you are always so, umm "honest".

Re: Itchy head?

I would either try using the T-Gel shampoo every couple of days. It doesn't have the best smell, but works. Another one, which I think works a lot better and smells better too is Nizoral. Again, I would just use them every couple of days and not everyday because it can be really drying to your hair.

pure tea tree oil works great on itchy scalp!

Re: Itchy head?

Thanks. I actually have some pure tea tree oil.

And one of the shampoos I use has it in it.

Re: Itchy head?

I just can't use some shampoos but I have not figured out a specific ingredient that causes it. It seems to be hit or miss and it seems to be related to shampoos, not as much to conditioners.
