FAQs

What is the Itchy Scalp Calming Scalp Shampoo?

The Itchy Scalp Calming Scalp Shampoo is a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo for a sensitive, dry or uncomfortable scalp. It cleanses while helping the scalp feel calm, refreshed and comfortable. It is made with Aloe Vera Hydrosol, Calendula and Nettle Extracts, Andiroba, Foraha, Avocado, Castor and Neem Oils, White Willow Bark Extract, Allantoin, Panthenol and Vitamin E, with Peppermint, Tea Tree, Basil, Chamomile and Lemongrass essential oils for a cool, spa-like feel.

Why is my scalp so itchy?

An itchy scalp is very common, and the Itchy Scalp Calming Scalp Shampoo is made to help it feel calm and comfortable. Common causes include a dry scalp, hot showers, product buildup, harsh or fragranced shampoos, sweat, hard water, dandruff and sensitivity to hair dye or styling products. Stress and cold weather can make it worse. If the scalp is red, scaly, sore or has bumps, or if you notice hair loss, see a dermatologist.

What is a good shampoo for an itchy scalp?

Look for a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo without synthetic fragrance, like the Itchy Scalp Calming Scalp Shampoo. Harsh detergents and perfumes can leave a sensitive scalp feeling tight and uncomfortable, while mild cleansers and soothing botanicals help it feel calm. Ours combines Aloe Vera Hydrosol, Calendula and Nettle Extracts with nourishing oils and Allantoin. Rinse thoroughly, since leftover shampoo can bother a sensitive scalp, and follow with a light conditioner on the lengths.

How can I soothe an itchy scalp?

Gentle care makes a big difference, and the Itchy Scalp Calming Scalp Shampoo is a good place to start. Wash with lukewarm water instead of hot, use a mild, fragrance-free shampoo, rinse well and avoid scratching with your nails. Keep heavy styling products off the scalp, and if your water is hard, a shower filter can help. Let the shampoo sit for 2 to 3 minutes before rinsing. If discomfort lasts or gets worse, see a dermatologist.

How do I use the Itchy Scalp Calming Scalp Shampoo?

Shake the bottle gently before each use. Wet your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water, apply the Itchy Scalp Calming Scalp Shampoo to your scalp and work it into a gentle lather with your fingertips. Leave it on for 2 to 3 minutes so the botanicals can refresh the scalp, then rinse until your hair feels clean. Follow with our Itchy Scalp Calming Scalp Conditioner on the lengths, and finish with a cool rinse for shine.

How often should I use the Itchy Scalp Calming Scalp Shampoo?

For the best results, use the Itchy Scalp Calming Scalp Shampoo at least twice a week, and adjust how often you wash based on your scalp and hair. If your scalp gets oily or you exercise often, you can use it more often, since it is gentle and sulfate-free. If your scalp feels dry, wash less often with lukewarm water. Consistent, gentle care is what keeps a sensitive scalp feeling comfortable.

Does the Itchy Scalp Calming Scalp Shampoo tingle?

Yes, a little. The Itchy Scalp Calming Scalp Shampoo contains Peppermint Oil, which gives a cool, refreshing tingle while it is on your scalp, along with Tea Tree, Lemongrass, Basil and Chamomile Oils for a fresh, herbal scent. The tingle goes away after you rinse. If it ever feels too strong or your scalp becomes irritated, rinse it out right away and stop using it, and keep it away from your eyes.

Which conditioner should I use with the Itchy Scalp Calming Scalp Shampoo?

Our Itchy Scalp Calming Scalp Conditioner is made to go with the Itchy Scalp Calming Scalp Shampoo. After shampooing, apply the conditioner to the mid-lengths and ends to add moisture and make detangling easier, leave it on for a few minutes and rinse well. Using the two together keeps your scalp care routine gentle from start to finish, and a cool final rinse helps hair look smooth and shiny.

Is the Itchy Scalp Calming Scalp Shampoo good for a sensitive scalp?

Yes. The Itchy Scalp Calming Scalp Shampoo is made for sensitive scalps: it is free from sulfates, parabens, harsh chemicals and artificial fragrance, and it uses gentle botanicals like Aloe Vera, Calendula and Allantoin. It does contain essential oils, including Peppermint, Tea Tree, Oregano and Thyme, so if your skin is very reactive, try it on a small area behind the ear first. Stop using it if your scalp becomes irritated.

Is the Itchy Scalp Calming Scalp Shampoo sulfate-free and vegan?

Yes. The Itchy Scalp Calming Scalp Shampoo is sulfate-free, cleansing with gentle Decyl Glucoside and Sodium Lauroyl Isethionate, and it is free from parabens and artificial fragrance. It is 100% vegan and cruelty-free, never tested on animals, and made with plant-based ingredients, with Hydrolyzed Soy Protein to help hair feel soft. It is made in the USA by Just Nutritive, a family-owned company making natural hair and skin care since 2007.

Itchy Scalp Calming Shampoo

I have been using this product for only a few weeks, washing my hair only every two or three days. I am happy to report that I am much less aware of my itchy head! I intend to keep using for a while until itch completely goes away and consider using occasionally after that.

Thank you!

Calms my scalp!

Ive tried so many shampoos to relieve itching on my scalp on back of my head. I had to try it. Be sure to shake the bottle before using. It delivers what it promised!

Great

I love this shampoo and conditioner. I head isn't itching.

Finally a product that does what it says it will do! My silver hair has never looked so good!

Calming shampoo

I can’t believe how much this shampoo has helped! I used to scratch my head all the time not even realizing it was the shampoo i was using! My scalp stopped itching after my first shampoo with this product!

Calming Shampoo

I was shocked! On the very first time using this shampoo that awful need to scratch my entire head for 10 minutes was almost totally gone!! Thank you for this!

Awesome!

I've been using various OTC anti-dandruff shampoos for years, and recently it's been getting worse and the shampoos haven't been working. I decided to look around for something different and found this. I've been using it for a couple weeks now, and from the very first time I used it, I had no more itchy scalp or flakes. I'm completely satisfied and amazed, and will be using this shampoo from now on!

Itchy scalp shampoo

I have been driven crazy by my itchy scalp and have been looking for something that helps. After just one shampoo, my scalp is less itchy. It’s such a relief!

Great, calming, natural shampoo

I have been using this product a little over two weeks. It's so calming to my scalp and has definitely decreased flakes and redness substantially (not overnight, but in a two week time it has really made a difference) - hoping for more in the future, it shows more promise than anything else I've tried. If you're looking for a more natural shampoo, give this a try. It does have an earth-ier smell, but I have gotten used to it - and I only smell it in the shower, it's not super fragrant, so I don't smell it after I dry my hair. It does not come with the pump, so do yourself a favor and buy two (if you're also buying the conditioner) - I didn't realize that, since it was pictured with one.

Itchy Scalp gone!

Wow! It works! Was dealing with an itchy scalp which drove me crazy. Within 1 use my scalp calmed down. Now after a few uses the itchiness is gone!

Itchy Scalp Relief

This product has greatly reduced the itchiness of my scalp. I like that it rinses clean with no residue on my hair.

It works!!

This is the best shampoo and conditioner that I have found for my itchy scalp. I don't have dandruff, just constant itch. Other products claim to take away the itch and they might for others but none worked as well as these products do. My itch is gone, I love how healthy my hair feels and looks and I love that the products I'm using are healthy and happy for my body.

I love all the products

It works!!! I have really bad itchy scalp and I am reduced by 90%. I use 3xs a week and I use my hair loss shampoo 4xs. Love trying all the samples. Then I know if I like it and can order. Love the sugar scrub too!

No Title

I trust the justnuttritive products. I love the texture of my hair since I been using their shampoo and the bald spots spot scalp spots cream really work good

Awesome

Love it

Really Helps the Itching

This shampoo is great. It really does help the itching of my scalp. Plus it just makes my scalp feel better calming it. I highly recommend it!

my go to shampoo

Great for itchy scalp an dandruff

Great product!

I have used the shampoo for a couple of weeks now and my scalp is no longer itching. Awesome!

Shampoo and pump

The shampoo is great! Love it! But the pump to get it out of the bottle doesn't work very well.

Pleased

Purchased this shampoo for my sister based upon one of the reviews I read that described her scalp issues. She says that it is definitely more soothing than anything else she has tried and it seems to be helping. We'll see.

Itchy Scalp Calming Scalp Shampoo

Great for itchy scalps. I continue to buy it because it works well for my scalp.

Wonderful

I love this shampoo. It has been a favorite since I first used it.

Love it, but don't feel the cooling

Recently I've been experiencing scalp itch. I love Just Nutritive so turned here for a solution. I haven't experienced the cooling effect, but have definitely noticed less itch. I use the shampoo with the scalp spray and vinegar rinse. Love and appreciate the solution this brand provides.

Shampoo

the same review foe this product as the conditioner. I am so thankful to have found these products

Does what it says

These were for my 14 year old daughter who either has scalp eczema or psoriasis. She said she could feel the ah feeling when washing and conditioning with this product. We like the smell also. A little goes a long way too.

Itchy Scalp Calming Shampoo Definitely a Favorite!

I have been using Itchy Scalp Shampoo for years. It is my favorite shampoo. I take it with me when I travel. It leaves my scalp healthy and adds fullness to my hair. I also pair it with Itchy Scalp Calming Conditioner. Definitely a keeper.

Mildly disappointed

I use a variety of JustNutritive shampoos and while I like them I don't see that this one (Calming Scalp) does anything more than any of the others. A bit disappointed.

Itchy Scalp Calming Scalp Shampoo

I love this shampoo. I have been using it for years. I color my hair so my scalp has a tendency to be dry. Not only does this shampoo help my scalp but also adds lots of fullness to my hair. Would definitely recommend it.

More than just a shampoo

We love the scent of this shampoo, so when we ran out of our hand wash, we used this. Now it is our favorite!!

calming shampoo

It is very helpful for those who itch their heads often

went back to this product

I had recently tried hair softener shampoo and conditioner by just nutritive. I had to go back to this product my scalp started to itch like crazy and i broke out on my forehead. I was happy to go back to this itchy scalp shampoo, now my head doesnt consistently itch it feels great like before.

Best shampoo ever

I have very dry scalp with eczema. This product is amazing. It calms my scalp and keeps the flakes under control. I would recommend this highly to anyone with dry scalp.
