My scalp became itchy. Is that normal?Updated 8 months ago
Yes, it's completely normal! It takes about 2-6 weeks for your hair and scalp to fully get used to this new healthy habit. You need to persevere even if your hair feels greasier at first or your scalp is extra itchy, because it's just your scalp, that is restoring its hair follicles, and pores, that are working at full capacity.
Harsh rubbing against the scalp when washing can also be the cause. We recommend washing your hair 1-2 times a week, to calm down sebum production, but there are people who apply a lot of shampoo, leaving it to "do the job" i.e. dissolve grease and rub properly against the scalp to remove impurities. Such behavior damages the scalp, leads to dryness of the skin and causes irritation and itching.
