Common causes of an itchy scalp
- A dry scalp from harsh products or over washing
- A reaction to relaxers, dyes, shampoos, waxes, glues or synthetic extensions
- Tight braids, cornrows and weaves that stress the scalp
- Dandruff, linked to the yeast Malassezia globosa
- Seborrhoeic dermatitis or psoriasis
- Low zinc and other nutritional gaps
When an itchy scalp needs attention
Itching with redness, soreness or thinning at the crown can point to inflammation that affects the follicles. Do not wait if you notice these signs.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my scalp itchy after braids?
Tight braids put tension on the scalp. The scalp can react with itching and flaking days or weeks after the style is installed.
Can an itchy scalp cause hair loss?
Some causes of itching are linked to inflammation and thinning. An assessment tells you if your hair is at risk.
Is an itchy scalp always dandruff?
No. Dandruff is only one of many causes.

Would recommend them any day. They are such a friendly community, very warm and kind when it comes to their service delivery and do not get me started on the results! They do deliver on what they say and I am absolutely grateful for their support in growing my hair back to what it is today! They did make my dream come true, and finally I can get to embrace who I am fully when I look at myself in the mirror. Thank you so much Hair Hub!
I thank God that after 2 gruesome years of scalp psoriasis, I have finally found a solution that works like magic. This was only possible with the services I got from Hair Hub at Bemuda Plaza, after years of spending so much money on other hair products on the market, all in vain. The first consultation I had was with Celestine Gitau and 3 weeks later I can say without a doubt that I no longer have any flaking or itching of the scalp and the inflammation has since reduced drastically.
Customer service before the procedure was smooth and engaging. The experts handled everything very professionally. 10/10 would recommend.
Their Jet Peel PRP technology is on another level. My hair is gradually coming back. I am happy.
Top notch service. Customer education is precise.
