My scalp pains after washing my hairs.what could be its reason?is it dandruff?

No.: Dandruff, or seborrheic dermatitis, is not a painful condition. I do not think this the cause of your pain. However, you may be sensitive to your particular type of shampoo. Consider changing shampoos and see if this improves the situation. If no, see a dermatologist.
