I know you guys probably won't want to hear this, because it involves adding more expense to your regimen, but the only thing that has helped with the ichy, scaly scalp is copper peptides in the form of folligen, Crew, or Tricomin. I use the Crew because folligen turns my light hair green, and tricomin is too expensive. Its great, and is clinically proven to inrcrease growth rate and the number of hairs.
