It's the middle of the day and my scalp just starts ithcing like crazy, at the top in the middle. No reason just itching like crazy and I am in a computer lab and don't wanna keep scratching like a fool. I want to pull my rattail comb out so bad and get to work.
Never doen this before. I tried a new moisturizer last night (sta-soft-fro gel lotion) and I didn't have the problem until now.
What causes this?? What can I do to stop it?
 
Do you have any Sea Breeze? I have heard that if you take some put it on a cotton ball and just dab it on the itching area it will sooth the itching and give your scalp a nice refreshing tingle.

I've never tried this myself though.

You know what? I went through this a couple of weeks ago. And I am new too. My scalp is not dry or flaking, but rather healthy. In fact I have gotten rid of occassional flakiness altogether nos that I've been washing twice a week and deep conditioning and prepooing.

So, then it hit me! I wondered if it might be GROWING!!! I know that sounds funny, :lol: but have you been massaging your scalp and all of that? Maybe that's it. All the scalp stimilation and all. I did get 1-1/2 inches in seven weeks. I guess a veteren LHCFer would have to answer this one.
 
And just like it started it stopped. It's not itching anymore.
Royal it's weird!
Tffy, I will carry some sea breeze with qtips just in case it happens again. That was horrible.
 
The only time i ever get the itchies is right after braids, that second or third day when its real tight. And i just start patting like crazy, like a fiend! :lol: It really alleviates the itching, i'll tell ya that!
 
The same thing is happening to me right now. I don't understand it. My scalp is clean and I don't have flakes, but for the past 18 hours or so, my scalp has been itching like crazy! I'm 11 weeks post right now and plan on doing a touch-up on 9/1/07.

Does anyone have any suggestions or comments? Is this a sign of a growth spurt? This has never happened before and it's beginning to freak me out. :look:

I'm in the itchy group too... :eek: that didn't come out right. :nono:


Anyway I was itching so bad yesterday I went home from work early. :eek: As soon as I got home I grabbed the Keracare Dry & Itchy Scalp conditioner and poo. I helped a lot, but I'm still itching today. I ran out of BT and decided to use up my MTG and my head is itching up a storm. They're both sulphur but for some reason MTG is reeking havoc.
 
I had a persistent itchy scalp problem this time last year, during my shedding debacle :grin:. I pre-poo'd with amla oil overnight a couple of times and it stopped.
 
I'm a member of the itchy crew too :perplexed
I'm getting the Aveda Scalp Benefits poo & con this week.. hopefully it will help!
 
i heard that it could be biotin if you use that. an indication that your hair is growing or a side effect of using this vitamin.

i get the itchies big time when i take biotin regurlarly.:perplexed
 
I was having an itchy scalp also until yesterday after I washed and rollerset I oiled my scalp with Sweet Almond Oil and today it feels MUCH better.
But sometimes when my scalp gets REALLY hot it itches. Do you think this is the problem??

I don't think the heat is the problem for me, because this is the first time this has ever happened. I live in Maryland, so it can get pretty hot in the summer, especially this year. I haven't had this kind of crazy itching ever before. I must be going through a MAJOR growth spurt right now. I guess I can't complain too much if it means I'll get some extra growth.

I'm not using any growth aids or taking biotin, so, unfortunately, I can't attributing the itching to either of those.

Tonight I'm going to wash and rollerset my hair. I have Keracare Dry & Itchy Scalp conditioner, so hopefully that will help me out. :pray:

I use Aveda's Scalp Remedy for dry/itchy scalp. It works within minutes to remove itching sensation. I don't have dandruff, but when my scalp itches, it's usually due to a reaction from a styling product that has come in contact with my scalp...

I'm an Itchy right now, too. It's been going on for about 2 weeks now. My scalp is clean, no dandruff, no nothing but itchies! It is killing me! I have tried everything. I used the Keracare Dry & Itchy poo and con and it helped a bit but dang! Maybe I'll have to try that Aveda Scalp remedy. Something! If anyone has any other suggestions, please feel free to chime in!!!! :perplexed
