Boots Botanics is sulphate free. In a white bottle. It's cured my itchiness! Fab!

Definitely Philip Kingsley itchy hair and scalp tonic great product. Available from Marks and Spencer or on line.

I used to have flare ups of eczema in my scalp and the only thing that made a difference was the Redken scalp relief shampoo in the red bottle. Was fab and smelt a bit medicinal so felt it was doing something (probably all in my head). Presume you can still find it somewhere on the web.

I had this problem. Tried lots of treatments and shampoos. Eventually worked out, that the problem was the sodium laureth sulphate in the shampoo.
There are plenty of sls shampoos around. I use www.boots.com/en/Earth-Friendly-Baby-Calming-Lavender-Shampoo-Bodywash-1-x-250ml_1311331/ works brilliantly. No more itchy scalp!

Aveda drove my scalp mad. I've used T-gel very successfully but at the moment I've had my hair keratin straightened so I'm using 'Naked' from boots as it doesn't contain sodium chloride. Have only just started using it so the jury's out

Another H&S fan here (it's so expensive these days though Shock)

I like the sensitive 2 in 1 but I also alternate my shampoo frequently which I find helps with scalp problems.

Thanks. Lots of options. Will try a few

E45 shampoo.

I liked T Gel by Neutrogena. Seemed sort of soothing when I used it but thankfully I don't need it anymore, think you still get it in boots though
