Ive always been warned off this!

I agree, the superdrug range is great. They have a scalp tonic too which is fantastic! I saw improvements after the first use.My mum swears by body shop ginger shampoo! I like it but Superdrug do an own brand range for itchy/dry scalp and I much prefer it. Usually on an offer too plus they do a conditioner in the same range.

My daughter suffers the same. Her dermatologist suggested we take a flannel and coconut oil or olive oil and separate and section the hair and rub the scalp. It takes a while to do but really works. It loosens all the flaky skin and soothes the itch. It needs doing every 6/8 weeks or so. You’ll find it gets quicker and you have to do less frequently.

I get flareups like this sometimes, they’re so awful. I got a shampoo called Capasal off Amazon (cheaper via the chemist tho) and using it daily for a week or so really helped. A little goes a long way too.
I've had a super itchy scalp for years now. Do you find it gets more itchy if you get hot? I sometimes have a reaction to my own sweat (which really sucks in summer!). My skin's pretty sensitive, so it took me a really long time to find a shampoo that didn't make me want to pull my hair out. I Love Juicy from Lush works pretty well for me! I suggest to just keep trying different shampoos and treatments until you find what works for you. Every body is different!

I have just started using this and found that this is the only shampoo that doesn't flare up any dry skin on my body as well (neck is suffering atm). Definitely will pick up the tonic soon.My mum swears by body shop ginger shampoo! I like it but Superdrug do an own brand range for itchy/dry scalp and I much prefer it.

I have scalp psoriasis. Both Tgel and the body shop ginger shampoo made it worse! I also tried all of the usual over the counter and medicated shampoos/emollients etc. I came across aveeno skin relief shampoo for very dry and sensitive scalp (it has a blue lid). This shampoo has been an absolute lifesaver. I also use the aveeno cica balm on my hairline after I wash my hair. Another amazing product.

Ooh, Philip Kingsley also does a scalp exfoliating mask which is very cooling at least. I’ve also got an exfoliating scrub by Ameliorate. Both of these come with a good applicator so you can apply it right on to your scalp. And clearly I have more scalp issues than I thought

I had something a bit like this. My scalp became very itchy and flaky. I couldn't see what the issue was so went to my mum's to get her to check it. I basically had big bits of dry skin just flaking off, by big I don't mean penny size but they were flaking in big enough pieces that you could see them in my hands.
I bought a scalp scrub from Le Labo which helped, try and get a sample first though as it is about £30. You cannot use it continuously as it will dry your scalp out, I use it once or twice a month. I also found that some shampoos were drying my hands out really badly so could only think what they were doing to my scalp. I love a range you can get in Poundland. I cannot remember the name but they are small rectangular bottles and all fruit scented. They contain none of the nasties (so SLS free) and they have worked a treat on my hair. I have the banana set, the hemp shampoo, the strawberry conditioner, the ginger shampoo and the tea tree shampoo. For a quid, they're bloody amazing!

I use it when I am shampooing to make sure I have cleaned my scalp properly. I have seen less flakes in my hair (which was a fair amount) despite my scalp still being a bit dry so not sure how it’s helped but it has

Tried Nizoral and it made my scalp really itchy and hair like straw.
