stop mixing shampoos if you are
don't leave shampoo on the head for more than 2min.
there's no lice, are there?
give her a daily multi-vit for a period of time and see if the results are good. sometimes there are deficiencies.

It's probably an allergic reaction to something in commercial shampoos. It could also be a lack of hydration. Nothing wrong in helping both ways. Do not use any outside external remedys. Well, of course, you must rule out parasites. Again, my first instinct is to not use cheap commercial shampoos and conditioners. Cheap does not mean inexpensive! Cheap meaning, look and study the ingredients, many very expensive products contain the worst ingredients! and drink water, water, water.

I had this problem for years till someone on here suggested using vinegar instead of shampoo (Just 1 time) and so I did and I am no longer itching. I applied it to all my head and scrubbed and for 5 minutes and then rinsed it off.

Why is the head itchy? Is it seborrhea? If it is, you normally don't see it that early and Nizoral shampoo may be a good choice. If its psoriasis, then you are best to talk to the doctor and pharmacist about this one.

sounds like lice to me. get a bottle of lice treatment and follow the directions it should stop this. also you will have to treat her bed pillows blankets etc. with a lice product made for them. if not the lice will keep getting into her hair/scalp. you can find these products at a drugstore or just about any grocery store.

Yes.
First of all try Head and Shoulders.
If that doesn't work..
then you may be looking at head lice.
If she is really young, ask your health care provider first so that you do not injure her.... Make sure you protect her eyes when you use them.

yah. Lice needs checking. for sure. my sister had it and we couldn't tell because of her thick wavy hair. And she may just need to use baby shampoo if she has sensitive skin.

when bathing, shampoo her and rinse. put coconut milk in her scalp and massage it. leave it on for 5-to minutes and then rinse thoroughly... hope this could help

I would definitely check her head for nits (lice) first. Head and shoulders is really good otherwise.

Find a good oil. I think maybe her scalp is dry.
