I think apple cider vinegar will help. I rinsed my dreads with it to get rid of wax and that really helped.

if its hard water you have ACV won't help
I have thick African American hair and my scalp HATES Dr. Bronner's. Instead I use black african soap, you can often find them at African themed gifts shops or by the pound on ETSY. Then I follow up with a basic ACV rinse. Baking soda is very alkaline and naturally breaks down protein but it may be too harsh for your scalp, especially if you have sensitive skin. NEVER use your nails on your scalp if it itches, its the equivalent of picking a pimple and will only make the problem worse. Instead I like to dab a cotton swab with tea tree oil and apply directly over the parts that itch until I'm ready to wash my hair again.
