20 Best Products For Itchy Scalp Black Hair (Jan 2023 Update)

I like this oil… but I do find it a little outrageously priced compared to other argan oil treatments. Because of this, I only use it once in a while as a treat rather than daily. However, I do love that it comes in different sizes because I love the smaller ones for travel andor keeping in my gym bag. I usually just massage a dime size amount through my hair from my ears to the ends when wet and then it makes my hair very soft and silklike once dry. I just wish the smaller size bottles came with a pump because having to pour the oil into your palm makes portion control and messfree dispensing a hassle. I would consider this oil to be more heavy than lightweight, so you need to be cautious not to use too much product otherwise it will leave your hair looking and feeling greasy. I also wish it had some sort of heat protection element to it… for the price, I feel like I shouldnt have to use a separate heat protection product on top of the oil. The scent is nice and not too strong. It does make my hair feel healthier and stronger, but it could be better for reducing frizz. Overall its a good product, but I feel like there are other oils which are of equal or better quality for a fraction of the cost.Anonymous

I am pretty brand loyal when it comes to my haircare, but every now and again if a product is amazing enough from another line , I will cheat on my usual and dip into the other line for that product. This is one of them The Moroccan Oil Treatment oil, which I feel is their most popular product that lead the way for this brand I think lol yes it is expensive, yes I get it cheaper because I am a liscenced professional lol but, when it comes to these higher end hair products , usually,you get what you pay for. It is worth the expensive price tag. There are some expensive hair products that I feel are not worth it and are way too overpriced for what they actually do and I am always very honest in my reviews on hair care because I live and breathe hair , its my profession, its what I love and I love to help people achieve hair they love, so if that means being honest and saying hey this product isnt worth it or its crap OR hey , this is not a brand I retail at work BUT Ive used it and I love it and recommend it even if u need to buy it elsewhere and I dont really achieve much for myself, what I want to achieve is to educate people on hair hair products and what works for them . So I am always honest when clients ask me about Moroccan oil.. that no we dont carry it but it is something I love and use everyday.it gives my hair amazing shine, it makes it feel soft and silky and just glides on over those little split ends like they are there, it helps tame frizz and flyaways and its a treatment that actually is beneficial to your hair. The bottle is on the small side but a little goes a LONG way unless you want to look like you stuck your hair in some grease than by all means lol but seriously a tiny bit, rub in your palms and rub jtno your hair , focusing on the ends and midshaft scalp will just make u oily I have naturally curly hair that is prone to dryness, it gets frizzy , its thick. I use the regular Moroccan oil treatment but there is also a light for those with finer hair , more oily , sleek type ,thinner hair that this regular one might be a little heavy for. I also apply this to dry hairz over my midshaft and ends when I feel they could use a little TLC . If theyre looking a little dry maybe just a little bit of this run through it and it will make your hair feel all soft and loveable again. I like the smell, it isnt anything strong or overpowering. This is the only hair product I do use from Moroccan oil, I am sure they do have other good products but at that price point and already being happy with my current hair care routine, Ive never felt the need to try them and I feel that this product here is their Holy Grail so to speak, like the 1 amazing stand out product where they are at the top of their game. Highly recommend itAnonymous

I really love using this stuff. I have for years. My original favorite was Chi Silk Infusions and I still like that stuff but I feel this does the job better. So basically youd use something like this for heat and uv protection as well as moisture and shine. Mostly I use it for getting some moisture back in my really parched, heat abused hair for a nice, healthy and naturally shiny look. Using products like that can go wrong really fast. You can cross the line into greasy mess from shiny tresses quick. You can do that with this too if you use too much but a lot of products do that no matter how little you use. This lasts forever because even with the thickest and driest hair needs only a dime size or less warmed between the palms and lightly rubbed through every layer from root to ends with finger tips open to get every strand focusing on the ends. Ive noticed that it gives me life back to my hair. It gives me that naturally healthy movement you just dont get with fried hair. With this and changing my hair habits I have come almost all the way back from totally broken hair to healthy hair thats a little dry and has split ends. And with my current issues it makes it look like I have none. Especially when I flat iron my hair with this as a heat protectant it almost seals the cuticle completely and keeps my hair looking super healthy until my next wash. I also use it randomly to add a touch of moisture back into my hair if its really dry. Or if my ends are getting bad between trims I use this and flat iron them to seal them and make them look healthy temporarily. It also smells amazing. I love the comforting and unique almost but not quite tropical scent. Its very unique and very feminine without being like a perfume. It makes my hair smell fresh and pretty and that scent lasts for a couple days. Overall it is a little expensive but it lasts a long time so it ends up costing almost the same as the drugstore over time because if does last so long. Its just more of an initial investment. A sephora employee told me this stuff actually is bad for your hair and dries it out but I dont think it would have gotten so famous if it wasnt so great for so many people. Maybe she just had a bad experience. It wouldnt have been the first time I had been given bad information by a Sephora employee but I just thought Id mention it. I totally recommend. But only buy from authorized retailers like salons or stores like sephora, macys, and other high end retailers or it will most likely be a fake.Anonymous

Besides the quality of product, the package was awful with shredded paper in the box. It's not a fault of Luseta but this Beauty Wellness company.. it would've been great if they spent a bit more money to use right wrapping product. My mask name with full of paper dust which was so disgusting…hope they improve..Kim

I love the way this feels on my schedule I got it because it said that it is color safe it helps with dry hair and scalp when I moved out to Texas my scalp got really dry because of the weather change or climate change I put this in my hair and I used a scout brush and it feels so amazing it is a strong tea tree smell it really feels like it opens up the hair follicles on your head it’s supposed to help unclog them a nerve roots and give Hair a balanced and healthy environment to enhance hair growth and reduce itchiness. it definitely helps with dandruff and reducing it and also dryness. Bought at Ross for $5.99 normally $10 #newyearsamefaves kaylee.c

Refreshing and smells great. Didn't realize bottle was tiny but well worth it. Use it as it says on bottle. I just purchased 2 weeks ago but already love it so far. Love the way it makes my head feel. Took Mielle 3 times to ship these products due to not properly packaging. So I would have had started using earlier this month. I hope they get their packaging department together because I'm Definitely not the only one experiencing this issue these past months.Talia G.

I absolutely love Mielle products. Mielle helped bring out my daughter and I natural curl. The vitamins has been helping my hair grow. I’ve been ordering Mielle products for over a year now. My whole family over Mielle. One time I received my package and the box along with two of my products was damaged. I immediately email the company just to make them aware. I even stated I didn’t need a refund. I just wanted her to be aware of the damage during delivery. I order from her all them time so I was not blaming her for the damage package. I know there’s always a possibility things can get damaged during delivery. However Mielle send me everything I order free of charge. Even the products that wasn’t damaged. I was not expecting that but I truly appreciate it. I will continue to order from Mielle. A damaged box can’t change the result on my family and I hair that we get when using Mielle products. Thank you Mielle.Ikea L.

Awesome product I enjoy using on myself and my Daughter hair. I really love all Mielle products. Since I Started mind natural hair journey.

SO good! i got this in a set at marshall’s that came with a shampoo and conditioner as well as this leave in spray. i haven’t used the shampoo or conditioner but this leave in spray is amazing! i sprayed it on my damp, just washed hair and within seconds my scalp felt cool and tingly and it feels so good!! and bonus that it smells amazing too!amanda.l

I love this product. I have a bad scalp, I guess it runs in my family. I really didn’t like how bad my hair was. I tried so many things, nothing really helped me. When I came across this product, and tried it out. It was very life changing for melillyanna.j

So I got these for Christmas and I absolutely love the way Tea Tree Oil feels on the scalp. Idk if I’m using it wrong or I’m putting too much shampoo in but it does leave my hair like if I put product in. I have natural wavy hair and it makes it more wavy.. idk I may be wrong.. but I just love how it smells and makes my scalp feel 🧖🏼‍♀️🧼miranda.h

Love this product works very well!! Leaves hair stronger and heals the scalp! Dax has been trusted for years and still stands to quality products!treyno93

I love this product. It is really good for your hair and great for dandruff or dry itchy scalp. It has a nice minty smell.Valencia

I'm a new customer and love the scalp wellness shampoo and conditioner. The scent is clean and my hair is shiny and soft after use. I have sensitive skin and have used many over the counter shampoo/conditioners but Scalp Wellness has never left my skin with any itching or flaking.Anonymous

I have been using Zincplex for a couple of years and find it works very well for itchy scalp and clears any sores that may result from scratching. It may cost more than a lot of other products, but one bottle last for ages, 6 months or even more, depending on hair length. I use about what would cover a 5 cent and that amount lathers up all my hair. I leave it on for around 20 minutes, then rinse and apply the conditioner, which also only needs about the same amount as the shampoo. The conditioner is really cooling, like a minty smell and is lovely. This product leaves my hair feeling lovely and soft and a natural shine. I highly recommend this product, after trying many others that never helped my itchy scalp. After doing some research, I found this Zincplex and unfortunately I can't find anywhere in Australia that sells it,so I have to get it sent from USA, but the postage is free and the product is worth waiting for. I hope my review helps others who have problems with itchy scalp, head acne, head sores etc. I give it a 10/10.karenjulie1

First off, I didn’t get paid for this or a free sample or whatever you see that has a ton of good reviews. But this stuff is legit. Not the cleanest of ingredients, but not the worst. The applicator is AH-mazing. Seriously I thick hair and I think other cleansing shampoos haven’t been able to reach my scalp. This does! It feels so cool and refreshing like ice on your scalp but in a good way. I followed with some good conditioner and my hair blew dry without a ton of frizz or anything crazy. Definitely recommend this! Only thing I would change would be a bigger bottle!hotpinkzebra

This is very effective at breaking down any dry skin or dry shampoo buildup! I definitely prefer this product over “scalp scrub” products. My hair is incredibly thick so a liquid scalp cleanse actually gets to my scalp without getting lost in my hair. With my hair type, I can really only wash once or twice a week so I tend to use braids or dry shampoo to keep my hair looking good in-between. Has a great scent and tingling cooling sensation that just feels great. The bottle looked small to me at first but the applicator allows the product to hit the scalp exactly and not get lost in my hair so no product is wasted.Raquelf

I was sent a free sample of this product in request for a review because I have ordered other derma-e products for my psoriasis. However my ability to thoroughly review this product is hindered by the fact that the scalp relief shampoo and conditioner I bought from here are so effective I haven't had a need for this scalp relief treatment. I've only had one day where my scalp was causing me any discomfort since I received this sample, but I did use this product then. It soothingly cooled everywhere sensitive, and then that faded into, well, nothing. That sounds bad but by nothing I mean no pain or irritation, so that's great. Honestly it get so good that I've started using the product on my other stubborn patches instead of my scalp. My ears have been hard to get to with light treatment and I figured they were close enough to my scalp so I tried that first. Then when that was so nice I decided to use it one day when my elbows were feeling dry, flaky, and painful from light treatment. Since then it's become my go to to fix psoriasis pain when a small area is kicking my booty. I cannot attest to whether this product can do anything to remove scales or patches over the long term, because I have only needed to use it for pain relief, but it is very good at that. When I used it in my hair it didn't really make it look dirty, which is good for a scalp treatment. And I was especially happy that it relieved pain even on areas of thicker skin like my elbows even though I only expected it to work on thin skin like the scalp.Angi

I started using this when I was on a heavy duty acne medication that made my whole body super dry. This made scalp hydration infinitely better, immediately stopped my dandruff struggles! The period of time where I didn't have this product (when my scalp was going from dry back to oily) my head was a mess. It was both oily and dandruff covered. Now that it's fully oily again and I'm back to an oil control shampoo, I use this to add moisture back without causing excess oil- and it works wonders! I'm able to have a soft, moisturized scalp without any of the excess oil and it is awesome! I cant live without this, and I swear by it. I've bought it three times already.Gatito Enthusiast

I have bought a million scalp products and this one finally worked. I have a very dry, itchy scalp. I don't know what's in this that finally worked but I love it. The cooling effect is the best. I didn't even feel the need to use a scalp shampoo the morning after I put it on. I think I will use the scalp shampoo still though. This treatment kept my scalp feeling good and not itchy for about a day. The itching returned but it wasn't as bad. My scalp continued to feel less tight beyond one day though. I think with continued use it would improve even more. I noticed that a lot of product gets used with each application, but that's fine. I bought it to use it!enska

Lo uso da tanto tempo e lo trovo insuperabile ed efficace contro la forfora grassa del mio cuoio capelluto. Ho eliminato drasticamente la forfora e con un utilizzo continuo riesco a prevenirne la ricomparsa. Prodotto eccezionale.GIUSEPPE A. R.

I bought this along with OGX extra strength tea tree mint shampoo, but here is my review. I had recently, over the last few weeks, developed HORRIBLE dandruff. My scalp was itchy, irritated, and flaking everywhere!!! I was annoyed, uncomfortable, and having to constantly check that my dandruff wasn't visible on my dark hair. I tried all the classic dandruff shampoos and none worked for me. NONE. I even asked my doctor for a prescription strength version of selenium sulfide, but the price tag was almost $200 so I did not want to go through with wasting that much money. I did some research on tea tree oil as I've used it for other skin conditions, and turns out it is good on dry, itchy scalp and fights fungus like dandruff. Anyway, in the shower I used my tea tree oil shampoo and scrubbed it with a silicone scrubber and then left it for 10 minutes. After shower, I used the tea tree oil and with just that FIRST USE I had some amazing, instant, long lasting relief. I havent seen any flakes nor have I had any itchiness. I love this stuff.jax

My husband suffers from dry scalp so we’re always looking for different products to help with it. We came across this one and decided to give it a try and surprising it worked awesome for his dry itchy scalp. It’s a very affordable product that actually works and gives relief. I definitely recommend this one to others.lindsay .d

I have mixed black and white hair and I had twists and using this product would soothe the itchiness for about a few minutes but it comes back worse than before. It even made my scalp breakout and burn after a while, worst oil I’ve ever used. I may have an allergic reaction, but I don’t have any known allergies. There is definitely better out there!!Brennan Ford

Had to run to wash my hair! It literally burned my scalp time it was placed on me. I personally wouldn’t recommend it. Felt like it was becoming a chemical burnJason Sherard

great product. very soft and light weight. does not feel heavy. or uncomfortable when applied during summer months. controls breakage. helps maintain hair growth. prior to use my crown was dry brittle and shedding. this product made it feel soft. with a huge reduction in shedding or breakage. it moisturizes my 4c hair and keeps it softnurse tiff 26

This product is the bomb! I use it as a hair mask on my ends, I run it through my midlengths to ends and then use the leftover on my hands to smooth over the roots and front hairline. I also use it to smooth my edges for pony tails and high buns. It is greasy but nice to work with. The smell is amazing! It does take some major shampooing to remove and leaves my hair slightly heavy, but helps with any fly always and frizz. I usually just curl my hair the day after and it’s nice and shiny.casey.r

As someone who has dermatitis this shampoo is a LIFE SAVER! I highly recommend using it. There are prescription strengths available from a dermatologist but I've tried those and they don't lather at all, the bottle size is small etc. With this DHS Zinc you can order the larger 16 oz bottle and it lathers! I wish it smelled better, as it has a medicine smell but you can follow up with a nice conditioner that overcomes that as an issue. I personally love a good leave in conditioner!Michelle L.

I have dermatitis and have suffered with itching for a long time. The itching was driving me insane! I seen this and read the reviews, I thought I'm going to try it. The very First use, the itching stopped!! I was very impressed and will continue to use this. It sure is a life changer.. Thank you so much!BB

This is a doctor-recommended dandruff shampoo that you use sparingly because of its effectiveness. I sought this brand from drugstores but they no longer carry it. In this dry climate, I've had a long-standing issue with dandruff that settled in the back of my neck. That issue went away immediately with this shampoo.Pit

My son has a very dry scalp in the winter. I've tried so many different shampoos for dandruff to no avail. I stumbled across this one and even though it said psoriasis I gave it a shot. This is the only one that worked!!!!! I will forever buy this shampoo. I love it so much so I've drove around all day to different stores to find it. Now I make sure I order a few at a time online so I wont have that problem again.carrie

After suffering psoriasis on my scalp for most of my life it had increased in the last few years. I tried this shampoo on the recommendation of a fellow sufferer. I have tried every shampoo and treatment recommended with mixed results but no cure. I've been using this for a week and I think the flakes have halved and the itching has almost gone. I would regularly sit and scratch until my scalp weeped. On the downside it looks a fetching colour of cowpat green and smells like a freshly tarred road. My partner says its eye-burning walking into the bathroom after me. On a whole I think its worth the downside as it really works.4faethetop

I dislike the smell of the shampoo and this does not reflect the ones that I used previously. I am disappointed with this purchase and the product is nothing compared to what I used. I didn't get that clean feel after using this shampoo.Sonia

Let me start by saying I have never tried any Neutrogena Hair products. With that being said I am for sure adding this to my hair routine . This is unlike any other conditioner out there , and I would for sure buy it again. It is very light weight and doesn’t weigh down my hair. It leaves my hair feeling shiny , and smells great. When I use this it is like I just came out of the salon. The uv protection is perfect for summer. It is great for those who may have a dry scalp. Very hydrating and renewing. I would for sure Recommend adding this product to your shower routine !amanda.k

I have somewhat of an oily scalp. Also oily behind the ears. I occasionally break out on the back of my neck and behind the ears. Recently I broke out pretty bad and was looking for a shampoo with salicylic acid and came across this. It cleared up my pimples within few days. I’ve been using it for a little over a week and haven’t gotten any new ones. Scalp also seems less oily. The shampoo has a lite fresh smell and doesn’t dry your hair out. I have thick straight hair so I need something that hydrates and cleanses very well. This shampoo checks all the boxes.RL

My son suffers from dandruff and itchy scalp and requires constant shampooing. To this point I hadn't found a shampoo that could take care of both issues so I couldn't wait to try the Neutrogena. The shampoo is fragrance free which was already better than most others we tried. My son has course hair, but this shampoo is rather thick so we didn't need a lot to get it to lather. I took my time washing his hair paying careful attention to his trouble areas. It rinsed out well and left his hair soft. Since using the shampoo on several occasions, he hasn't complained as much about the itching and dry scalp and I've noticed a slight difference in how frequently I've had to wash his hair. In other words, it seems to be taming the dandruff a lot better than other products we have tried. Overall a good product and really love that, even though it is medicated, it doesn't smell like it.Yekpewa21

Yes! This product helped me regrow my edges. I had my hair done at an African braiding salon. The stylist put my hair in some nice kinky twists and I kept them up for about two months. Once I took my weave out my hair started shedding badly, especially around the temples. I would keep a head band around my hair to cover my embarrassing edges. I used the doo gro triple strength twice a day for a whole month and my edges grew all the way back. I was so excited to wear ponytails again.briona.p

I Love that the vitalizer has menthol in it and it's medicated. walmart will send you the regular hair grease kind not the creme kind. anywho's it's still a must for hair growth and scalp itchiness and flaking. so all together, its an excellent product i would very much recomend this item to everyone. I love the smell of menthol. I mix this vitalizer with some of my mega long vitalizer. it works well together.Unique

I love, love, love Doo Gro Hair Vitalizer Mega Thick! It keeps my hair and scalp moisturized but not greasy. It has stopped my hair from sheading and it keeps my hair from frizzing when I exercise. When I used this product it in the past, I found that It really made my hair grow longer and fuller. The beauty shops here had stopped carrying this product and I'm so glad I found it on eBay. I think I will buy a few more just in case. I do highly recommend this product, I love it and you will love it too!cjplab100
