3. Allergic Reactions & Sunburn
Hair dyes and treatments may trigger allergies, especially those with PPD. “Always do a patch test before using a new hair color.” Sunburned scalps, common in thinning hair, lead to peeling and itchiness. Use sunscreen sprays and wear hats in strong sun.
4. Stress-Related Itching
Emotional stress can cause “psychogenic itching.” Relaxation techniques and gentle scalp products can help manage it.
5. Relief Tips
Avoid hot water and scratching. Moisturize the scalp, eat a healthy diet, and use mild shampoos.
Conclusion:
“Don’t ignore the signs” — finding the cause of your itchy scalp is key to lasting relief.
