I don't have that issue but I have hair loss so I use Diatomaceous earth. FOOD GRADE!!!!!! 1 TSP in a glass of water daily. My hair and nails grow like crazy. Please research it. It may help. With this drink a lot of water.Replied by James (Frostburg, Md) on 06/18/2015
Mix, say, a half-teaspoon of the borax with a half-teaspoon baking soda. Have this powder handy on a saucer. Wash your hair and while sopping wet dip your fingers into the powder-mixture and start working it into your scalp. It will dissolve along the way. You don't need a lot just enough to make your scalp slippery. Leave it alone for awhile and do not rinse out; just dry your hair normally. Your hair will have some stiffness from the coating but the combo of B and BS should kill the critter or fungus you've picked up. Do this again in a few days. The treatment will also help sooth the itch. I've used this on cats/dogs with "hot spots" and with perfect success.Replied by D. Starkey (Ne Florida) on 06/19/2015
Cheryl - I had a very similar experience a few years back. Try rinsing your hair (after shampooing) with 50/50 apple cider vinegar and water. You can use the cheap, grocery store brand of Apple Cider Vinegar for this. Use a hair dye or condiment type bottle to get the solution to saturate your scalp effectively.
Daily use made my (very straight and fine) hair break after a few weeks (ymmv), and I then discovered that ice cold water would have the same effect.
This greatly curbed the maddening itch, and lessened the hair loss. If you have any pets in your house, and notice they are itching, purchase Seresto collars as they work perfectly for this malady.
