Dr Blake Bloxham Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Bencar, Shampoo asks a very important question. Is this itching after a procedure, or itching in the scalp in general? Anything accompanying the itching -- redness, scaling, dry skin, oil skin, etc? Dr. Blake Bloxham is recommended by the Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member Shampoo Posted June 15, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted June 15, 2016 post op itching?? What exactly is this? bencar...often after a hair transplant a patient suffers from itching as the scalp heals. It can be pretty intense at times. since yours is not post-op itch I would start with something like this: T/Gel® Therapeutic Shampoo - Stubborn Itch | NEUTROGENA® Dr. Dow Stough - 1000 Grafts - 1996 Dr. Jerry Wong - 4352 Grafts - August 2012 Dr. Jerry Wong - 2708 Grafts - May 2016 Remember a hair transplant turns back the clock, but it doesn't stop the clock.

Senior Member pkipling Posted June 15, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted June 15, 2016 Aside from shampoos, you may also want to consider the products you're using on your hair. After years of battling with dry/itchy/flaky scalp, I've learned that there are certain products that I'm allergic to and cause my scalp to itch like crazy. For example, I'm allergic to all of Aveda's hair products for some reason (shampoo, styling, etc.). American Crew products also cause my scalp to break out. For shampoo, I use Ovation shampoo/conditioner, which really helps my scalp a lot. And when my scalp gets really dry/itchy, I apply Raw Apple Cider Vinegar to it. It burns like hell, but really does the job. I am a patient advocate for Dr. Parsa Mohebi in Los Angeles, CA. My views/opinions are my own and don't necessarily reflect the opinions of Dr. Mohebi and his staff.

A woman recommended that i use ginger root as a shampoo. I may do just that today! BTW I saw your pics of your hair. Looks like you had a transplant. May I ask with what doctor did you have that done? Any issues after the procedure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may look into that. How did she suggest you use it? I suppose you would have to juice it right? I'm always game for a natural solution if possible. And yes - I had a hair transplant with Dr. Parsa Mohebi in Los Angeles, who I'm a patient advocate for. One of the best decisions I've made and it was a positive experience from start to finish. This forum is a great resource should you be looking into getting one. Use this place to ask questions, see if you're a good candidate, which doctor would be best for you, etc. And if you ever have other specific questions about my own experience, just lemme know.

Thank god you're not allergic to it then. Their hair paste literally makes my scalp bleed it dries it out so bad. Not exaggerating.

Regular Member AlexieJ Posted June 30, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted June 30, 2016 Don't self diagnose yourself. It is better if you know why you have this itchy scalp. This might be due to some products you had used before of could be because you underwent some procedure. Sure enough, there are so many shampoo for itching in the market. Some may help while some don't so it depends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
