I suffer from dry scalp, more so in the winter months. I have noticed that lately when I go in the tub, without even dunking my head, my scalp becomes itchy and irritated. Is it safe to say that it is the bromine that is causing this?????

Dry Itchy Scalp
Dealing with Dry, Itchy Scalp
By Lisa Lach
If you have any open sores or patches of dry skin contact your doctor for a proper diagnoses. But if there are no patches or conditions then chances are you just need a good cleaning or moisturizing shampoo.
You should always change your shampoo to the present condition of your hair. If you have healthy shiny hair, you need a light-shampoo, if you use colour you might try a color seal shampoo. Every shampoo lines carries moisturising shampoo in all shapes, sizes and prices. Season, activity heat intensity, products used after your blow dry can make your hair dry. It’s quite simple to fix. A good moisturizing conditioner will help also.
Sometimes a hairspray or styling product may cause a little build up around the surface of your scalp. Look at the label and make sure your shampoo is a cleaning or cleating shampoo. Their purpose is to get rid of build-up and keep your hair clean allowing a conditioner to work. Sometimes if there’s too much build-up the conditioner you put at your scalp can’t reach down to the root where the root of the matter is. No pun intended.
The only caution when using a cleansing shampoo is that if you just had a dark or red colour it will fade it faster then a regular moisturizing shampoo. Ask your stylist what you can do to help that, they probably have the product that will fix both problems.

I am using good stuff for the hair. I just find that when I use the tub, my hair becomes so itchy afterwards.

A question better asked on another forum? If you think it's the bromine, dump the tub and go to chlorine, softsoak, or something different. I have heard of that before.

Bosco, I know exactly what you are talking about...my scalp gets really itchy in the tub too. I know it is from sweating...nothing else. I have no scalp problems or dandruff or anything, just that when I soak, my head itches. In the winter I wear a stocking cap and that makes it even worse. I would say it is just something that happens from sweating...I don't think the bromine has anything to do with it since I only get the very back of my hair wet..not my scalp. I don't think it is anything to worry about, it's just annoying :-/

Maybe it is your pores opening to sweat? When I sit in a hot location, after a bit, my head itches a ton, then the sweat starts. Just a thought.
