Question by tcouther003: what are the causes and treatments for itchy scalp with hair loss?
I am a 30 year old African American female who is expecting. I currently start to experience a severe itchy scalp with some hair loss (hair shedding). This all occured about 2 weeks ago. I have yet talk to my doctor because I have been trying to treat it with a product called Sulfur 8 ( shampoo and hair conditioner). I still have not found a relief as of yet.

black people have to have oils in their hair to prevent it from breaking and itching. and apparently, you aren’t giving your hair enough oil. washing it doesn’t help because it’ll just make it dryer. you should wash your hair once a week. and massage your scalp everyday with hair grease. go to a local hair store and find some.

I have read about a number of different home remedies such as using lemon juice or egg whites massaged into the scalp to stop hair loss and itchiness. I think both might work in your case. Also, since you are expecting, you are probably under a lot of stress (as my wife was when she was expecting and had a similar problem.)
If this doesn’t seem to correct the problem, it may be a bigger issue. I did a quick search and found this website:

Let’s hope that it doesn’t get to that point though. Best of luck!
