Itching scalp: You need to see a doc to examine your scalp and find a cause, however, you might try an antihistamine like benadryl (diphenhydramine) 25 mg tree times daily for a week. This will help control the itch no matter what the cause. Possible causes include allergy to soap or shampoo, sensitivity to hair products, seborrhea or psoriasis , and many more.

? Dry scalp: Try massaging scalp and hair with Cocconut oil. Let it stand overnight and wash the hair next day. And do not wash hair every day. Maximum 3/week. Hopefully tho will help.
