If I leave my hair to air dry without any root boost spray and mousse, it seems hat after a few days, I start to get an itchy scalp. A few years ago I had a really bad case of this, which I believe was seborrhea, but it has since cleared up. (It happened when my immune system was really run down from nursing my third son exclusively for thirteen months. I'm all better now. :D )Not sure what might be the deal with this, any ideas? Since joining LHC, the only change in this routine that I've made is trying to spend most days letting npmy fair go natural I.e. Using none of my usual products or heat. Puzzling????

Have you been checked for a fungal infection?

Do you have psoriasis or eczema?

Do you have plain old dry skin?

All of those can cause itching... but the treatment varies.

Could it be that the hair takes longer to dry because it is laying right on the scalp rather than being fluffed away from it with a product? If so, maybe a beer rinse would help, or putting it on top of your head for awhile--loosely, so that air can get to the scalp.
