I kind of gave up on trying to find a solution until a few months ago when I tried a new co wash cleanser, at the time I was trying to find a cheaper alternative to the Shea moisture co wash and I decided to try Pantene Pro-V Truly Natural Hair Co-Wash Conditioner when I initially used it my hair and scalp seemed fined however fast forward a few days and my scalp began to go crazy no amount of oil seemed to help.
After retracing my steps lol, I realised that it was the new co wash that was causing the problem, I googled some of the ingredients and one stood out sodium chloride which is the 10th ingredient.
Sodium chloride: better known as table salt, is used as a thickener in shampoos and conditioners containing sodium lauryl sulfate. It's a contributing factor to the eye irritation experienced with most shampoos, and it may also cause dry and itchy scalp. It may also cause hair loss. In shampoos containing ammonium-based surfactants, ammonium chloride is used instead. - Livestong.com
Now I keep a close eye on the Ingredients in my products just to avoid any future scalp problems.
This is informative. To be honest, my scalp does itch, and although its not that bad, its weird when it itches just after shampooing. I should probably do the same and look at my ingredients.
