Until the last few months I have never had a problem with dandruff. My scalp has been constantly itching and flaking. I haven't changed my shampoo or condition and I haven't had a problem with it before. I've tried washing my hair more, washing it less, and switching products and I can't seem to get rid of the itching and flaking. I have no clue what's going on with my head.

I was wondering if anyone had any advice or things to try. It's getting pretty unbearable.

Are you stressed more lately? Changed your diet? It might even be the change in the weather. My scalp seems to benefit from an ACV rinse at the end of a wash, I definitely get less itchies. 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to 8 liquid ounces of water is generally a good starter measure.

I second the ACV rinse... Some times the ph of your scalp gets funked up for some unknown reasons.

Add 5 drops of tea tree oil to shampoo, in a bowl/cup. Continue for a month of washes. Vinegar works well too, as pepperminttea stated.

Whoa... I got this same thing too. Not cool, hombre! To combat it, I've been shampooing about once a week and COing more often. It seems to be waning, but my hair's been frizzier than its usual self. Not cool either.

At least it's on the run.
