Itchy Scap - what to do use?

[baby11]

Hi Guys

At the minute I have an itchy scalp and greasy hair. But the itchiness is driving me crazy. Is there a good shampoo and condition out there for both conditions?

At the moment I am using Tresemme.

Well i guess to help the prob maybe work out what is making it itch first? if its an irratation to something you could make it worse by useing something else with the same ingreedent?
also by scratching and couseing abrations in your scalp you may irratate it more ,
i am illergict to hair dies , started with alittle itching , next time i did it was more itching then few mounths later did it agen and swolloen! open wounds ect on scalp, face and neck ! why cos i didnt listen to my body lol i am fine now i dont die my hair any more but it opened me up to other allergys! like alot of hair products ect....
anyways , try to find the cause to find the cure hun ,
but for me head and sholders soothed it (i guess because it exfoliates or peels or something lol ) baby shampoo also helped
aquris cream can be used to wash your hair if it is reallly bad but maybe also leaveing it alone for a cople of days letting its natral oills and P.H ect retearn to normal.

Use Nizoral. I get the same and it drives me crazy....... The only shampoo that stops it is this, and the worst I have used to cause the itchiness is Tresemme. Don't buy the Nizoral off the shelf, buy it over the pharmacy counter (or ask doc to put it on prescription for you). The pharmacy stuff is much stronger and costs about ten pounds.

Aveda used to do something called Scalp Remedy, tea tree based I seem to remember. Everyone that used it raved about it. Also they do Personal Blends s'poo & cond, you can get different oils/ingredients added, there's a Balancing and Calming aspect to one of them. Can't remember which one though!

Tresemme is your answer. It is vile stuff. It strips your scalp, hair and any colour. Probably paint too :lol:

Go to a salon and get some advice on a sensitive scalp shampoo (most will have free samples to try) until your scalp calms down. If it doesn't it is always worth a visit to your GP. It's very hard to give the right advice without actually seeing your scalp. However, in the past I have used T-GEL on clients persistant itchy scalps for a short time, with sucess. It does, unfortunately, strip any hair colour you have on your hair.

Thank you for all your answers, I have used Tresemme for properly years now and never had a problem. Just sometimes I get an itchy scalp.

I will look into all your solutions and take it from there.

Thanks again
