Since it just happened after your highlights, you most likely have an allergy to the product. After this, I would always do a patch test on your arm (inside of elbow) before using dye or highlighting to make sure it's not going to be worse. If you don't see any dandruff, I wouldn't use dandruff shampoo because it might be irritating to it. If you start to see dandruff, then I'd try it.

So, if it doesn't go away in a couple of days of normal washing, then it might be psoriasis or something like that and you should have it checked out by a doctor.

Hello,

I've got a question. I've noticed that my scalp's been a bit itchy, and I know it's not lice or anything like that but it's been going on since I got highlights a few days ago. Could that be the reason?

Perhaps it's dandruff even though I can't really see it.

Would it be appropiate to get a dandruff control shampoo or one of those acid fruity shampoos, rather than Pantene or something like that?

Thanks!
