    Over the last month or so my scalp has been VERY dry and itchy. I've switched to organic shampoo & conditioner with no harsh chemicals but my scalp is still super itchy and annoying. Does anyone have an at home treatment they want to share? or something that I could pickup at the local drugstore?

    I use a tar shampoo made by neutrogena about once a  week.  It made a WORLD of difference.  You can pick it up at most drugstores.

    I strongly recommend any kind of mint and green tea scalp therapy.  Mine gets like that a couple times a year and after using it for a few days, it always clears up.  I use one from Paul Mitchell and it is great.

    Hi Hi. 

    (sorry if this is TMI, but) I actually have psoriasis on my scalp that massively breaks out when I get stressed.  Sometimes I get perscriptions which help a lot.  But Neutrogena T-Gel (or anything that says T-Gel or tar shampoo) helps a lot.  Phillip B also makes a good "anti-itch" shampoo that you can get an any apocathery.  All of them smell a little funny, oh well.  Apply just to the spot and leave on for awhile (5-10 minutes) before rinsing.  It will help, I promise!

    I've used that tar shampoo & PM's green tea shampoo, conditioner & 5 minute scalp treatment in addition to many other products.  I would suggest using a product called scalpicin also if it is really bothering you.  It isnt a shampoo, but a clear liquid that you can put on in the evening a few nights a week with flare ups. Between that and the shampoos, it has helped my scalp a lot.

    Right now I am actually using a mint/rosemary shampoo and conditioner by biotanticals - I am a big fan of it so far!

    This may sound weird but put whipped cream and massage in ur scalp leave it for 10 mins and then wash ur hair :)

    Coconut oil does wonders as well :)

    tea tree shampoo! I have the same problem and it gets so itchy~

    I haven't tried it myself, but Aveda Scalp Remedy I heard also balances your scalp and therefore reduces the irritation.

    also, I was told to be sure not to over-cleanse your scalp or wash it everyday. Scalp is like your skin~ with pH of 4.5-5.5~ so if you over cleanse or over stimulate it might be more irritated.

    selsum blue really works for me.  I get this about once a year due to a pollen allergy, but I have used scalpicin for more imediate relief.

    Even organic shampoos can strip your hair and scalp depending on the kind. Try apple cider vinegar rinsing--I'd actually ditch the shampoo altogether (actually, I have ditched it altogether in favor of baking soda rinses)--to bring your scalp back into balance. I just dump a handful onto my hair, rub it into the scalp and rinse it out... should help balance everything and make your scalp less itchy. I do it about once a week (or less).
