Many women leave hair salons feeling great about their new look. Hours later they start scratching their heads like crazy. The itching becomes terrible and they grab whatever they can find for relief. This problem happens to lots of people after getting their hair done.

Doctors call this condition scalp pruritus and it affects people of different ages. Several things cause the uncomfortable feeling on your head. Dandruff makes skin flakes fall from your scalp when it gets dry or oily. Harsh shampoos and cold weather also dry out your scalp just like other parts of your body.

Hair products leave behind sticky stuff that builds up and clogs tiny holes where hair grows. Some people react badly to hair dyes and chemicals found in salon treatments. Their skin turns red and itchy when it touches certain ingredients. Scalp psoriasis creates thick patches that feel rough and uncomfortable.

Simple home treatments can help fix mild itching problems without visiting a doctor. Warm coconut oil soothes dry skin and fights some infections naturally. Fresh aloe vera gel cools down angry scalp areas and reduces swelling. Apple cider vinegar mixed with water clears away product buildup and kills germs. Tea tree oil works against fungus when mixed with other oils.

People should see medical experts if scratching continues for more than seven days. Signs like pus, swelling, bleeding or severe pain need professional care right away.
