What is causing your itchy scalp?
A flaky and itchy scalp are the main symptoms of dandruff, which can be caused by a dry scalp. Skin conditions such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis can also flare-up on your scalp in the form of red, itchy patches. If you have an allergy to your shampoo, conditioner or any other haircare product, you may develop allergic contact dermatitis too, and an itchy scalp or rash as a result. Chemicals in hair dye including para-phenylenediamine (PPD) can trigger allergic reactions and leave you desperate to scratch too.
Are an itchy scalp and increased hair fall linked?
While it’s normal to lose up to 100 hairs a day, an itchy scalp can sometimes be followed by more noticeable increased hair fall in these instances…
From a severe allergic reaction. Hair dyes are common culprits for this and can not only cause an inflamed, itchy scalp but increased hair fall.
Too much scratching. We all know we shouldn’t but scratching an itch can feel so good. Overzealous or repeatedly scratching your scalp can damage the skin and hair follicles though, which can lead to temporary increased hair fall or thinning hair.
