Try not washing your hair every day. Wash it maybe every 2 or three days. You can get it wet, just don't use shampoo. Use conditioner every time you shower. Use a shampoo that is 2 in one or moisturizing. Even if you don't have dandruff, you can use "Head and Shoulders" with moisture, and that will help too.

How is the rest of your skin? Is it dry as well or are you using lotion? Get a humidifier.

Another thing you can do is do an olive oil treatment. Massage generous amounts of olive oil into your scalp and put on a shower cap. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes or longer if you can stand it....overnight would be great, but it might get a little itchy. Then shampoo.

itchy scalp
I've suffered from your issue also!

here's what I use. i use Arbonne Tea Tree Oil Shampoo ($25) and Scalpicin from (Rite Aid, etc.)

I lather the Shampoo up real good and let it sit on my scalp for 5 minutes. then i rinse and condition.

When i get out of the shower, I towel dry my hair and then apply the Scalpicin to my scalp in the itchy areas. Really stops the itching while the Arbonne shampoo heals the scalp.

You can find the Scalpicin at any drug store. The Arbonne tea tree oil shampoo you can find on a ton of websites. here's the one I use LKEssentials.myarbonne.com
