My 9 year old DD has thick wavy/curly hair and a couple of weeks ago I straightened it for her and she wore it down for school for three days (usually wears it up). Typically enough, she caught nits but we caught them straightaway, I treated her with Lyclear, went through with the nitty gritty comb and got the little buggers out.
Since then she keeps on about an itchy scalp although I have re-combed and checked daily and know the nits have gone.
We have changed her shampoo and conditioner, and also her detangling spray in case she'd developed a reaction to them but she still says her head itches, especially when she brushes it.
I don't know what to try next. No sign of dandruff or excema or flaky skin. She swims twice a week and I make sure she washes her hair properly afterwards and rinses well.
Does anyone have any ideas to help please?
