Sorry this is late. Been very busy. I still do not know what is causing the itch but have made sure that any dye I use is gluten free. I used Loreal Superior Preference. Rinsing my hair after washing with diluted apple cider vinegar really helps. I also stopped eating oats about a month ago.
The itch is still there. I even have small bumps on my scalp now. It is annoying but not terrible. Seems to come and go.
Thank you to all that replied.
The replies I got were to use:
Essential Oils
Steroid Solution
2 said they take Benadryl right before dyeing
Tea tree shampoo
Hydrocortisone 1% cream
Aveda soap rinse
A few wondered if it is Psoriasis. It is not really red so I am not sure.
You can just do a general search on gluten free hair dye and you will get a list.
