We all have them, lol. Are your under or over active?

For an oily scalp many people recommend tea tree or peppermint but they also recommend that for dry scalp.

i haven't found any specific product, but not putting anything (conditioner, oils) directly on my scalp helps with the itching. it doesn't itch like crazy anymore. . . if itching was your problem.

I also notice that if I put oils on my hair, it makes it feel brittle.

Well I know when if you have a moisturizer ex: water, then you seal with oil and that seals in moisture.
