Try an organic shampoo? I dont believe any of the chemicals that go into the usual shampoos and conditions can be good for anyone - apart from the makers pockets, of course. lol

I wouldnt recomment the Jason range but have found Avalon shampoo very good.

I did the same thing Gwyn, bought the wrong one that's how I know it's not as good as the Nizoral :-)))) Easily done though when the names are almost the same.

I use Polytar when my scalp is itchy -works well,

I think Contrary Mary is right... That's the one.

I remember one of our girls bought the wrong one last time, .... and that's the name I went and checked in the bathroom.

Thankyou Mary. x

I use Nizoral (comes in a red box) which is very good - but not to be confused with Nizorelle which I personally didn't find as effective.

Mary

Thank you Ann, Sue (great name!) and Devon and Gwyn. I will try them all. x

The anti dandruff shampoos vary and it might be worth trying different ones.

I know someone who finds Nizorelle very good.

I just did a search and found this

Recent research published in Aromatherapy Today, the International Aromatherapy Journal, indicates that Tea tree oil, added to shampoo in a 5% dilution, is at least as effective as 2% ketoconazole and 1% terbinafine in the treatment of dandruff. In the test, the subjects used a 5% dilution in a daily shampoo, and left the shampoo in their hair for three minutes before rinsing.

I've used essential oils for a few things and found them good.

Sue

I wonder if perhaps an essential oil like lavender or TeaTree might help?

Perhaps adding a few drops to a rinse after washing your hair might help.

Sue

Polytar shampoo is brilliant and much cheaper than
t-gel. (I suffer from psoraisis)
:)

not a home remedy but Aveda do a very good itchy scalp remedy

itchy flakey scalp? I have tried t-gel and anti-dandruff shampoos but to no avail. occasionally drench hair in olive oil for the night but its so messy and takes 3 washes to remove! Just to get some relief from the itching would be great . i have been to the doctor but she was more interested in sorting out my back....thank you in advance,
