This happens to me also especially in the warmer weather. I recently purchased some dudley's dandruff shampoo and it works!! I like it because it's formulated for black hair and doesn't dry out your hair as others would. But always follow up with a moisturizing conditioner for a good 30min when using it. hth
I also have a itchy scalp. I make a spritz to address it. I mix water with glycerin and add peppermit, rosemary, lavender, and orange EO. Shake it up and spray on the scalp for light moisture and a refreshing lift.
1. spritz your hair with water or wash your hair more often
2. moisturize the hair around the itchy area more
3. use dry & itchy scalp shampoo (Keracare and Dudley's make good ones)
4. sparingly oil the itchy scalp (WGHO, jojoba, olive, etc.)
Macherieamour has a nice process of doing a pre-condition with conditioner for dry and itchy scalp, i think it's by keracare. Maybe you should check out her wash regimen. HTH!
Before I found the hair boards I ALWAYS had a dry/itchy scalp. I thought that it was just something I had to learn to deal with since my skin tends to be dry in general. Now, I don't have that problem anymore. I think the frequent washing/rinsing in addition to vitamins and a better diet helped a lot. The only product that really made a difference was the Keracare dry/itchy scalp shampoo and conditioner. It didn't cure the problem completely, but it did help.
I used to have dry itchy scalp and the only thing that would help temporarily was when I oil it down. I have been hearing about scalp peeling and I was curious so I ordered some and used it on Saturday, 6 days ago. I usually wash every 3 days because of this issue but in 6 days I haven't had an itch or dry scalp since. I will be relaxing tomorrow and I am not having any pre-relaxer crazy itch like I used to. My scalp is thoroughly clean - I guess. I will definitely be incorporating this scalp peeling thing at least once every month or so.

My Scalp is dry and itchy man, dang...
What do you use to cure your dry and/or itchy scalp?
Nizoral. Nizoral. Nizoral. It has been a miracle for me.
My scalp would literally peel off in layers an inch wide. Gross, I know. Nizoral stopped it in it's tracks after 2 washings. Now I just use it maybe once a month.
