Hi
Body Shop 'ginger' shampoo is excellent for itchy scalps

I can vouch for this. My hair was thinning (I'm female) and very itchy. My sister said use this, and my scalp is only itchy if I don't wash it for days and days (like when I went to a festival!)

I tried everything - head and shoulders, medicated, baby shampoo. Nothing worked for me!

(I sound like an advert...!)

May be worth a go. I'm doing ok at the moment but it's not perfect.

Another one to try. As I say, my scalp is ok at the moment, but it can itch the same day still. So many things to try and I don't know what to try first!

I find H&S too abrasive. I come out in bumps on my head

I'm going to try the ginger shampoo - not sure it will work on my seborrhoeic dermatitis, but i'll give it a go...

I know nizoral and sunsel work a treat, but can be very drying on my hair and always strip the colour out, so if the bodyshop one works and is kinder it's win win

i am using the Cien sensitive anti dandruff shampoo at the moment and am finding it really good, will look out for the Body Shop ginger shampoo though

My daughter uses the Body Shop ginger one. She has seb dermatitis and it is the only thing that keeps it at bay. :-)

If you have so little hair do you need a shampoo, I'd try just rinsing your scalp for a few week's with water & no product's at all, see how you get on. Hubby had terrible dandruff and nothing worked,until he started just washing his scalp/hair with water & it has cleared right up.

Most shampoos contain SLS (sodium lauryl sulphate) as it helps them foam up, but it is acutally a skin irritant. Try an SLS free shampoo. Most of the naked range in boots is SLS free.

I know switching to SLS free shampoo has helped me and I've heard good things from other people.
