I wash my hair every other day. I also have an itchy scalp the day after I shampoo and I've changed shampoos and I use natural shampoos and I don't have dandruff. If anyone knows a natural renedy or something please let me know.

> Elisabella,I had the same problem for years. For the past few months I have found relief with J.R. Liggett's Old Fashioned Bar Shampoo, which you may be able to find in an health food store or you can order it from their web site. This choice may not be popular since it is a bar and many people think they don't want to wash their hair with "soap". All I can say is it works for me.Other people have suggested Joico, Paul Mitchell or Nature's Gate tea tree or jojoba shampoos and conditioners.Hope this helps.

Hi, Elisabella!I think I remember one time you mentioned your scalp got a bit oily? Please tell me if I am incorrect.Since the itch is after shampooing, it makes me believe that the shampoo may be a bit strong for you. Even if it is a "natural" shampoo, you may be using the wrong one for your hair type. Maybe you are washing too frequently, too.Two rememdies for itchy scalp are apple cider vinegar and even Listerine. Simply place on your scalp before shampooing. Part your hair and apply with something like a Q-Tip.Bye for now,JadeP.S. Are u having good results with the horsetail? Hope so:)I wash my hair every other day.

A trichologist (hair doctor) says that oily hair should be washed everyday using the correct shampoo.Washing daily does not effect the sebum output.However strong shampoos like Paul Mitchell tea tree oil can be used thrice or twice a week but not everyday.To jade21 can you teach me the apple cider vinegar recipe?Anyway I'm going to consult another trichologist about washing frequently.
