I sleep with my hair wet regularly. is this the reason why my scalp is always itchy?

Yes: Going to bed, or just leaving your hair wet after washing or swimming is a common cause of seborrheic dermatitis, where itching is a common symptom. Best to dry your hair to prevent this from occurring.

I took colostrum for 1.5 months and began shedding hair. My scalp is very itchy now. I have stopped taking it from today. Will the hair loss stop and my hair regrow? I have heard that the igf-1 is the cause.
