What’s causing my head to itch?
A number of lifestyle changes can cause a scratchy scalp.
Hormones, stress, diet, product build up, not shampooing enough or correctly, even a change in weather. 

What can I do to fix it?
A scalp specific shampoo is always the best place to start.
Redken have a sensitive scalp range of shampoos for the three main causes of an itchy scalp.

1. My issue is... dandruff
Scalp Relief. This powerful shampoo utilizes zinc to eliminate the irritation and flaking skin, while also moisturizing to hydrate your scalp. This shampoo is dermatologically tested. 
​For best results leave on for five minutes before washing out.

​2 . My issue is… itchy or oily hair
Hair Cleansing Cream. Is a detoxifying and clarifying shampoo for all hair types and textures that removes dry shampoo and product build up,
hard water minerals (copper, iron, magnesium, calcium), excess oil, and pollution residue in just one use. 
Purifies, refreshes and leaves hair shiny. 
Suitable for all hair types and textures, including color treated hair.

3. My issue is… a sensitive scalp
The L'oreal Scalp Advanced Anti Discomfort Shampoo is enriched with Niacinimide to care for sensitive scalps. Lightweight gel formula gently cleanses while soothing and calming the scalp. Hair is left radiant, soft and hydrated.

How do I make sure it doesn’t come back?
What’s changed in your lifestyle recently?
While the scalp relief shampoo will fix the issue, you need to look at the root of the problem to ensure it doesn’t come back.
If it’s stress, make sure you’re creating ‘me’ time every week, whether it’s a brisk walk, yoga class or just reading your book on the couch.
