Itchy, flaky scalp
I got a keratin treatment and switched to sulfate free shampoo in feb 2021. Gradually my hair (esp scalp) started becoming worse. The hairfall increased, scalp has become super itchy and flaky. Their are buildups on the scalp and it feels uneasy till I scrape them out. It hurts also. Which shampoo/products should I use that can resolve these. Also if any medication would be required. (My hair is naturally frizzy and wavy and dry).
