What are the symptoms of itchy scalp? You know you have itchy scalp if you experience: a maddening itchiness of the scalp that you are sorely tempted to scratch; tell-tale flaking of the skin of your scalp; discomfort because of a rash or reddening of the skin spreading across your neck and around the ears; discomfort or tingling sensation caused by use of some shampoos.

Causes of itchy scalp and treatments

An itchy scalp may be the result of dandruff developing on your head. Dandruff is the excessive shedding of the skin cells of your scalp, observable as white flakes dusting your hair and shoulders (especially when you wear dark clothing). You might have dandruff because you are infected with a fungus dubbed melassezia globossa, or because you have toxins in your system, or because you have been using products (like shampoos) that you cannot tolerate. The last cause (intolerable products) may pollute the skin of your scalp with their byproducts. One common ingredient that makes the scalp itch is silicone, an

artificial shine enhancer used in commercially available dandruff shampoos because it is quite cheap but which you may find intolerable.

Treating Itchy Scalp or Dandruff is Similar

Often, people who find their scalp itching and flaking will use an anti-dandruff shampoo to treat their scalp problem. But this only offers a short-term solution because anti-dandruff shampoos only remedy the symptoms – not the causes of itchy scalp. Research is now

showing that many ingredients of shampoos and conditioners that we apply to our hair during bathing may trigger the itching and flaking of our scalp because they are not apt for our body chemistry. Thus, the natural sebum balance and normal rate of flaking of scalp cells may be thrown out of whack, and the result is itchy scalp. Some high ph hair products can destroy your hair follicles and can eventually cause cancer when used in tandem with other common chemicals.

A good way to relieve itchy scalp, then, is to immediately halt the use of a product when it causes our scalp to react negatively. That kind of reaction shows that the product is or has an allergen causing an allergic reaction in our scalp. This may be the least expensive way to treat a case of itchy scalp unless you have the malazeezia fungus control problem that the majority of people do.

Products to relieve itchy scalp Zinc pc (or ZPT) is one substance that is used in

anti-dandruff shampoo formulations because of its anti-dandruff and anti-fungal properties. Some dermatologists advice patients with fungus on their faces to apply anti-dandruff shampoo with ZPT on their facial skin – and it works!

Jojoba oil can restore sebum balance and moisturizes the scalp quite well.

Tea tree and its derivative tea tree oil are good substances to apply on cases of itchy scalp and dandruff. It activates dormant scalp cells and hair follicles, fostering their growth, and soothes the scalp. Basil promotes growth. Chamomile helps fine to normal hair and leaves golden highlights.

Clary sage relieves dandruff. Lavender is excellent for relieving itchy scalp and dandruff (and even lice is eliminated with this.)

Lemon also works against itchy scalp and dandruff. Remember, avoid offensive products and go natural to prevent cases of itchy scalp.

The product that we recommend that has worked wonders for relieving itchy scalp for good is Purify Shampoo by Purity.
