There are several treatment options that may help to stimulate and encourage hair growth. If hair loss occurs as a result of an underlying condition or disease, then the condition needs to be treated first. The various types of hair loss are treated with specific medication which includes antibiotics, corticosteroids, or steroid injections. For more serious episodes of hair loss, surgical procedures such as hair transplants, scalp reduction or skin grafts may be performed to replace hair loss. Natural and holistic therapy offers a gentler alternative for people experiencing hair loss than the harsh effects of conventional medication. Treatments such as herbal and homeopathic remedies stimulate and encourage hair growth as well as support blood circulation, hormonal balance and thyroid functioning. Herbal remedies along with good nutritional diet (supplements in case of severe deficiency or if directed by your doctor) help hair grow stronger and more plentifully by nourishing it at the roots. They achieve this by stimulating blood flow and supplying nutrients to the hair follicles and hence promoting healthy hair growth and slowing down excessive hair loss. Although the process begins within a few days, as the hair grow slowly, the results are visible only after a few months. Herbs commonly used include Ginkgo biloba, Rosmarinus officinale and Xanthoxylum clavaherculis help to promote strong, abundant hair. Other powerful herbs such as Equisetum arvense, Avena sativa and Echinacea are effective combating hair loss and nourishing hair follicles. Together, these herbs are highly capable of: - Promoting healthy hair growth - Encouraging healthy blood supply and circulation to the hair follicle and scalp - Discouraging common age-related hair loss and hair thinning - Supporting the thyroid and all mechanisms involved in hormonal balance in the body - Supporting the body’s ability to obtain nutrients from food, thus promoting healthy, strong hair You may get more info here healthherbsandnutrition.com/ remedies/ h/ hairloss.htm

I would try covering your hair with mannayse and waiting 20 minutes with a towel around it before washing it out. sometimes hair loss is because of a folic acid or biotin deficiency which are 2 B vitamins, folic acid is mostly in uncooked leafy green vegetables, and supplements, unless from your doctor, have very little in them. If you are behind on folic acid you will first notice that you get a little short of breath from going up the stairs. But for the itchy scalp, do the mannayse/ salad dressing and increase your intake of natural oils- nuts, seeds, uncooked, salad dressing, butter, cold (expeller) pressed oils that have to be kept refrigerated.
