What is causing our itchy scalps??

For 2-3 weeks my 2 Dds and I have got incredibly itchy scalps.
No evidence of lice, but I tried using Full marks solution, just in case. Made it worse!
No dandruff , no red patches, bumps scales - nothing to give me an idea what is causing it. Ds and Dh unaffected.
Any ideas?

Mine has been really itchy too.

Do you have any anti dandruff shampoo? I find sometimes I have to use it for two or three washes when things get bad. I also bought a garnier shampoo and conditioner with oat milk for itchy scalps that certainly feels very soothing

Use an anti fungal shampoo with ketaconazole or something similar

It might be a reaction to SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate). Try a shampoo that is SLS free.

I had this a month ago, t gel helped a bit but it’s horrible. Now settled down and using H&S itchy scalp
