I recently decided to make a change in my hair care due to scalp soreness and itchiness. I was wearing my waist-length hair in a dutch or french braid almost every day 8hrs a day at work and my scalp started feeling super itchy at the back and very tender. I decided to cut it to shoulder-length and just wear my hair down every day at work and change my shampoo for the itch. I mean I would just scratch absent-mindedly to the point where it felt raw. I was also worried about tension alopecia. I've been using this shampoo for about 4 months I think and it's really helped. I leave the shampoo in for several minutes while I attend to the rest of my bathing and then wash it out. The itch is nowhere near as bad as before and my scalp doesn't feel raw. That could partly be due to the change of hairstyle but I do think it's helped a good bit. I've noticed if I just avoid scratching AT ALL the itch stays away, but if I scratch a little, it tends to start an itching frenzy. My scalp is still a bit tender if I pull the hair near the back of my scalp, but I had worn the braid style at work for several years and I think the tenderness is just going to take a while to go away. You will still need conditioner because this shampoo is on little on the drying side. My hair also seems to tangle more easily. I alternate with Renpure Biotin/Collagen shampoo (which makes my hair super easy to brush) once or twice a week. I've noticed that my hair has more "poof" after I use this. Like, it's fluffy almost to the point of being a frizzball. I have very, very fine hair and it can be hard to maintain volume, but this shampoo definitely gives me some. It leaves me with that squeaky-clean feel. I think if your scalp issues are not too severe, this shampoo can be beneficial for you.
