ITCHY!!!!

Okay, so I've been known from time to time to have a bit of dandruff. Never really bad or a major issue, but lately - I don't know if it's the pregnancy or what! MY scalp is SO itchy and flakey and dry! I can't wear a black shirt - it's covered in white in minutes.
I've been trying home remedies. Sometimes they work for a day or two, but that's at best. 1st I tried lemon juice. Then baby shampoo. Then light body oil (I think that made me break out into a rash). Now it's soaking my scalp with coconut oil. So far the best remedy, but I have to do it every other day!

Try Mayonaise (sp?) I had dry scalp for a long time and I would coat my head in it and let it sit for 30 minutes, then wash it out!

Try olive oil and rosemary. Take one tea spoon on 500 ml. I had an itchy head and rosemary works fine. If you can get it where you live: Weleda Rosemary shampoo, hair oil and hair water. It really helped me.

Try putting Listerine on your head. Your hair might get stiff but it works.

if you haven't recently. Flaky scalp can be from other things, but it is one of the symptoms of thyroid imbalance which they want to keep an eye on during pregnancy.
