I over shampooed my hair?

Now my scalp is itchy and has this irritated feeling..I used coconut oil on my hair and left it in for three hours so I shampooed my hair three times to get it out but I guess I didn't need that much shampoo. Got an itchy, burning, irritated feeling around the nape of my neck, back of head. What should I do? My hair is also very dry despite the coconut oil mask.

    Your hair will not be like this for long, just rinse with VERY MILD WARM soapy water, rinse, rap in a towel and leave it, in the near future wash your hair ONCE each 2 to 3 days. You need your natural oils.

    Leave it over night after wetting it with mild warm/hot soapy water, and leave it the next day, so in about 2 days lightly wash with shampoo and conditioner (dont over do it) and rinse.

    PS: It may take a bit of time for the itchy dry feeling to be out of your hair.

    always remember your hair NEED's natural oils.

    sounds like you should take some Benadryl and lose the Poo. A lot of people are just doing conditioner and are having great experience. Google it. Definately try some Aveno stuff and get the reaction under control by changing products.
