Don't scratch the itch

The itchiness is initially caused by irritation from dandruff, but scratching will increase irritation and lead to a vicious cycle. Using too many products in your hair can irritate the scalp and lead to more itchiness.There's a wide range of causes. Dandruff and an inflammatory skin condition called seborrheic dermatitis are the most common causes of itchy scalp. Seborrheic dermatitis can be the result of stress, seasonal changes, fluctuating hormones, or an overgrowth of yeast on the skin.
