Scratching your scalp

I hear if you scratch your scalp with your nails that you in fact pull small hairs away from the root of your loc. I hear massaging the scalp is much better plus it helps stimulate the scalp.Well I have been working out...a lot. Doing a boot camp in fact. And I sweat a lot. I wash my hair like 3 or 4 times a week due to the sweat. But nothing feels as good as a good old scalp scratching. LOLAny remedies for the itch?

Yeah that is pretty much the info that I read. However, doesn't a good scratching just feel good? LOL I mean after sweating from working out seems like my scalp has itching powder on it in certain places...like dead center of my head. Massaging just does not seem to get it. LOL Sister Rags said:

I read an article when I was about 12 in some magazine about how to properly wash and touch your scalp. That article impressed me. I learned to always use the "pads" of your fingertips, never your fingernails, to massage, wash, or scratch your scalp.
