I found if I wash my hair too often, I'm itchy. Not enough and I'm itchy. I've now found a balance.
An old remedy I found that worked for me is 1 part cider vinegar and 3 parts water. I put it in a bottle and after I've shampooed and rinsed, I'd tip half the bottle on my hair, lightly massage my scalp and let it sit for a couple of minutes before a quick rinse then condition as normal. Be warned. It's very fucking cold so i warm the bottle first. I haven't had to do this since I found "the balance".
I also have dry skin so when I jump in the shower and I've warmed up I turn the hot down and periodically do this during my entire shower until it's just warm before getting out.
Interesting. What's your balance? I personally wash my hair twice a week.
Twice a week in the cooler months. 3 or 4 times in the sweaty summer.
I let my hair decide when it needs a wash. Lol.
