So, I took someone's suggestion (Beksta?) about rinsing my scalp with cold water after shampooing to help alleviate scalp problems. I have done it for the last month and it is working wonderful!! Before, about 5 days after washing I would get itchy and start to flake. Now, after 10 days there is still no problem!! (I haven't gone any longer than 10 because I work out hard every day and don't want to breed bacteria or be smelly- I use tea tree or rosemary oils between washing) Anyways, those of you with scalp issues- I would STRONGLY encourage you to try this. And thank you, wise lady who suggested it!

Yeah it always worked wonders for me...and I had the same problem, prior to the cold rinse method, within 2-3 days I would be all itchy and flaky again...but after working out that the cold water got the blood flow going and circulating, I found I could go ages without a wash!
I am sooooo happy it's working for you!

Great advice, it's been almost 6 days for me since my last wash, and there is no flaking or itching at all!!! -
