I haven't found anything that helps but this happens to me too. I itch when freshly shampooed, but start itching if I don't wash my hair as well. I've changed products and all and it "just is".

I will watch for any ideas too.

I used to have this, drove me mad untill I discovered body shop ginger shampoo. it is expensive but such a relief.

what vitamin supplements are you taking

When were vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 last tested

What are your thyroid levels like

Please add results and ranges for thyroid and vitamin levels

Do you always get same brand levothyroxine at each prescription

Recommended that all thyroid blood tests early morning, ideally just before 9am, only drink water between waking and test and last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test

scalp moisturising shampoo…..

eg Head and shoulders Derma care moisturising shampoo
