I've noticed recently that a couple days after washing my hair, that my scalp gets itchy and gets really bumpy and uneven. I guess the itchiness has something to do with oil build-up, but I have no idea where the weird bumpiness comes from. Then, after washing and conditioning my hair, I get absolute tons of flakey skin in my hair. Then, they disappear after a day or two. My first impression is dandruff, but when I had short hair, I never had a rough, bumpy, uneven scalp, and my hair was always filled with small flakes. The ones I get now are huge, and are obviously skin. Does anyone know what this is? Is this normal? Is there something wrong with my scalp?
I'm not a doctor nor do I play one on tv but maybe you're allergic to the shampoo you're using? An ingredient in the shampoo? An ingredient in the water?
