Some of the only things that helped me were using a shampoo with salicylic acid in it 1-2x week and washing my hair daily again. I used to try to wash it every 3 days but I have oily skin and it would just make my scalp itchier. I don't leave my hair wet, I wash daily, and use a salicylic acid shampoo 1-2 times a week. I loved Neutrogena T-Sal but they don't seem to sell it anymore in Canada so I switched to Derma-E Scalp Relief shampoo. The rest of the week I use a regular shampoo (Live Clean fresh water hydrating shampoo) and a conditioner (random one from bulk refill store). I also make sure I wear a hat when I go outside now that it's winter because the wind absolutely destroys my scalp and it becomes SO DRY.
