Hello all! Hope everyone is healthy and feeling good! I have a problem that I just noticed. Last night I was up late just watching tv and I noticed my scalp was itching like crazy! I know I shouldn't have scratched it. But I do have a very dry scalp so I began to moisterize w/ my usual Pink Lotion. It felt better, but then it itched again! So I massaged it w/ my fingers, but I soon began scratching it, which caused a hot, paining sensation So I got up and put some water on it and wrapped it up in a scarf and it felt normal. What could this have been and why did it happen? My hair isn't dirty, very clean, just washed it two days ago, and I haven't worn anyone else's hat, lol, so what could be the case? Is it just too dry or what? Please help and thanks! God bless

maybe the pink lotion has clogged up your pores or sth. sorry im not helping much but i dont know anything about itching. what shampoo do you use? it might be drying out your scalp.....

You could have product buildup on your scalp. Do you put the pink lotion on your scalp everyday,  as in the last 2 days?

Yes, I think it may be the Pink Oil clog buildup. Yes, I've used it almost everyday. So what do I do? Renee- my shampoo is the Fantasia Tea Tree Naturals shampoo. It's pretty good though and I haven't had any problems w/ that lately. So I think it's probably the Pink Oil. Should I wash my hair again and use another type of oil?

if the itching has stopped maybe you shouldnt wash until your next wash day. and if you dont have a dry scalp, you dont need to oil your scalp. the only oil i would advise to put on the scalp is jojoba....

Thanks so much Renee! The itching has stopped so hopefully I won't have 2 wash until Friday. I'll definitely look into that jojoba oil.

Yes, I did use it on my scalp and hair. My mom has some carrot oil (which really stinks! ), but I think it's just the thing I need. I'll try it out manana

You know what I did to find out what was making my scalp itch? I would drop the products that used one by everyday to find out what it was.  Come to find out I can't use high amounts of protein in my hair. 

I do agree with the other ladies regarding the Pink oil moisturizer.  Stop using it for 2-3 days and see what happens.

What I also use for when my scalp itches is I have a spray bottle filled a concotion of distilled water, glycerin, EVOO and pepermint oil.  This is very refreshing.

I have bad scalp itching myself, but apparently I have eczema all over my scalp...   I've found that Jojoba plus Sweet Almond Oil makes everything better, at least for a day or two.  Oh, well.  Any excuse for a scalp massage.
