I Need Help With My Itchy Scalp...

I have an itchy scalp too, but since I have changed some of my products, it doesn't itch as much. I use a sulfate-free shampoo and not the sulfate free ones that still tend to dry my hair out. I'm talking about Elasta QP conditioning shampoo and Shea Moisture (yellow). Try to stick to a few products. Moisturizer and an oil or butter. One thing I've learned is that when I sweat, I have to wash it or it'l keep itching. Like yesterday, I sweated so much that I had to do wash with Elasta QP. Some people co-wash, but I don't do that. I use to, but it seems to coat my hair.

You might be reacting to a shampoo, conditioner or whatever comes into contact with your scalp.  What helped me was not using shampoos that contains sulfates which dry out my scalp in turn makes my scalp itch.  Another thing is I avoid using products that contains tea tree oil.  There is a laundry list of products that I avoid but it was a long process.

You could try to apply tea tree oil regularly and always follow your washes with an ACV rince. If you have dandruff or a scaly part on your scalp you could apply some betamethasone cream on it. I always have some available for my allergies but it works great on my scalp problems too. I don't have problems with itching any more when I'm out of my braids.

ACV - Apple Cider Vinegar. Basically, you use like a tablespoon or 2 and mix it in with a cup of water. It's good for removing product buildup and smoothing down your cuticles. I used to do this as a final rinse (before learning that I have low porosity hair and don't need to close up my cuticles)
