Yeah... my caregiver had one of these so I tried it but it just doesn't do
it for me. Only fingernails can get the itches to subside for me.  :-(

  Drives me nuts too! It's usually the top of my head which I can barely reach. 
I use head & shoulders so I don't have dandruff. The worst is when I get itchy 
when I'm in bed, all tucked in and I have to get my arm out then to get it back 
under the blankets is the hardest thing, or impossible. The hairbrush feels 
exhilarating, wish I could have my hair brushed all day.

Packard's Tar Soap, has been around since 1920's.  It comes in bar  form .  
Some don't like the smell of tar soaps, but it is a very clean  smell.  I 
used to pay 50 cents for a bar.  Today, it is more that $5  dollars, if you 
can find it on the internet.

[QUAD-L] Itching scalp

[Bobbie Humphreys]

Someone was asking about what to do for itchy scalp.
I gave the wrong information.
Here is the correct information.
I use V O 5 hot oil treatments 
It moisturizes the scalp and softens your hair.
Sorry about that, Bobbie

Re: [QUAD-L] itching

[Quadius]

I have an interesting problem until recently. I had a tremendous amount of
itching and flaking problems for the better part of the first 18 1/2 years
I was injured. I, however, have pretty much resolved my dandruff and in
large part the itching problems I had.

I began working on this eager and a half ago. I worked with the product T
gel shampoo whenever the dandruff was really bad, but the key was to let
the product sit on your scalp for 5 to 7 minutes. I also had to wash my
hair at least every third day, preferably every other day because my hair
was so oily and looked disgusting.

Well I started to use hats in order to drive my chair with a Magictek. So
even though my hair got oily, I started watching it less and less and
noticed a significant improvement in the flaky scalp. After about eight
months of this I noticed that the oiliness had diminished to the point
where I didn't have to wash my hair but once a week. It still looks good
throughout the majority of the week.

My hairstylist said that when you wash it too much it encourages the hair
to produce too much oil. Anyway, I was able to gradually use generic forms
of head and shoulders in order to control the dandruff and right now (knock
on wood) I haven't had to use a dandruff controlling shampoo in more than a
year.

Good luck on getting rid of the itching.

Quadius
PS in an effort to disclose everything, I do have problems with itching on
my face and hair whenever my blood pressure goes up or I have minor A.D. I
don't consider this part of the itching scalp problem because this is
purely neurological.

PSS sorry if I made too many mistakes, I was in a hurry and didn't really
go through my correspondence to carefully.

If you remember when you first inquired about the itch,  I recommended  
Packard's Tar Soap.  Actually, any tar soap will do.  Lots of T- soaps  contain 
tar soap, like T-Gel.  I prefer a bar of Packards.
