Itchy scalp

[emiliedesroches]

Hey!

So for as long as I could remember my scalp has been dry and itchy but it’s also oily, weirdly. 

now I’ve tried everything. I have hair oils, hair scrubs, special shampoos and conditioners. 

at this point I have no idea what to do in order for it to not itch.

***** by the way, before anyone asks, it’s not lice *****

Maybe you should try salicylic acid exfoliating scalp treatment from the Inkeylist

I third the Living Proof Scalp Care Dry Scalp Treatment 3.4 oz/ 100 mL  . It's soothing and super easy to apply. I'm all for ACV products as well, including dpHUE Mini Apple Cider Vinegar Hair Rinse 3 oz/ 88 mL. Shampoos with salicylic acid exfoliate the scalp and loosen flakes. K18 Biomimetic Hairscience Mini PEPTIDE PREP™ Clarifying Detox Shampoo 1.8 oz / 53 mL has salicylic acid, calming charcoal, and a low pH to optimize scalp health. Definitely get a scalp scrubber like SEPHORA COLLECTION Silicone Scalp Massager if you don't own one already. I haven't tried  OUAI Anti-Dandruff Shampoo 10 oz / 300 mL  yet but it's on my wishlist, as is Bumble and bumble Sunday Purifying Clay Detox Shampoo 5 oz / 150 mL for natural clays applied directly to the scalp. Itchy scalp is a viciously stubborn problem and I'm so sorry you're having to deal with that. It's advisable to visit a healthcare professional to diagnose and treat any conditions that could be causing the itch.

@emiliedesroches If it’s dry and flakey, you may benefit from using a scalp scrub every so often to help break up the dead skin and allow for moisturizing products to work more effectively. I like the #SEPHORA COLLECTION Apple Cider Vinegar Cleansing Scalp Scrub 6.76 oz/ 200 mL for this. 
Also check out the JVN Complete Pre-Wash Scalp & Hair Treatment Oil 1.7 oz/ 50 mL which has ingredients to help balance your scalp.

@GG84 Took 2022 to focus on health and fitness, now I think I can balance it all (said every woman trying her best lol) I was so glad to see you’re still active!!
