Hair loss caused by an itchy scalp can be extremely frustrating and worrying for anyone, and if left untreated can cause permanent hair loss and baldness resulting in conditions like cicatricial alopecia where the hair follicles are permanently damaged and the hair may never grow back.
It is therefore imperative that you get your condition looked at and diagnosed as soon as possible by a qualified professional, to halt the hair loss problem in its tracks.
\"dry Scalp\"
In saying this though, there are many natural remedies and essential oils that have been used for centuries by numerous civilizations to soothe, treat and cure itchy scalp and hair loss problems. What's better is that you can make these remedies in the comfort of your own home, using cheap and readily available ingredients.
These natural remedies are seeing a revival in modern times as more and more of us lose faith in the large pharmaceutical companies, and we become aware of the growing amount of evidence that shows that perhaps these huge corporations don't always have our best interests at heart. I'm not saying they're all bad, just that sometimes the so-called "modern" medicine can't see the wood for the trees.
Well, that's my rant over with!:) Now, I'd like to show you the top 3 essential oils that should be an "essential" part of any itchy scalp hair loss first-aid kit. If I were going to be stranded on a desert island and could only take 3 things with me, then these would be it...well, maybe some sun tan lotion too!;)
Please note that essential oils are normally highly concentrated and should therefore always be patch tested prior to application, in case of any allergies or irritation. Always consult your doctor prior to using any remedies or essential oils if you are pregnant or on specific medication.

It is particularly good if you naturally have oily hair.
Jojoba Oil
This is an excellent oil for controlling dandruff and moisturizing your scalp if it has become dry. It mimics your skin's own sebum and is therefore great for hypoallergenic skin.
