try the bars from dreadlockshampoo.com don't know which shampoo you mean if its teatree tingle it shouldn't cause issues but if bronners and hard water that is the issue your facing
also no longer recommend acv
heres no reason not to wash every 2 days (and being African American i am happy to see you doing that since locticians convince most that washing every 2 months is overwashing!) though the itchiness might be from using hot water which can dry the scalp and skin badly

adelle wellington (who wrote the book on natural dreads) washes hers daily (and uses no oils)
i would maybe try the dreadlockshampoo.com teatree rosemary bars next they really solve even bad scalp problems
and like i said avoid hot water

I had the same issue for the longest time with my scalp. ve my scalp out with my fingernails. i could not go more than 2 days without wanting to carI have been on the journey for 3 years now and have tried a lot of different combos in that time just because of my scalp. I tried that same trader joes shampoo and although it could be an ok option it was not the answer for me. I have just recently switched back to the dreadlockshampoo.com shampoo. I have washed about 3 weeks with it now. Last week i went a week between washes. this week i washed sunday and i haven't washed yet. i need to because my scalp is itchy but it just started today. i mainly try to go from weekend to weekend because i have to get up so early to wash on a week day and dry them before work because i wear them back and don't want to wear them back wet. i am using the cedar and sage bar right now. i have the goddess liquid too but i can't go as long between washes with it. i use that when i want to tighten up the loose hairs and it smells awesome. if it wasn't for wearing them up at work, i would wash them twice a week. order that shampoo tomorrow and good luck. i think you'll be happier
