hair doesn't itch. scalps will itch. there are so many different causes of itching that it would not be possible to blindly sort them out over the internet. if your newly-grey scalp is itching it would be wise to see a dermatologist so that you can be properly examined and treated. just because another grey hair friend has an itchy scalp too does not imply that you both have the same thing. the color of your hair is really irrelevant. i'm not a licenses professional in anyway. however i have had grey hair for several years. every time the grey hair would grow it would itch like something is invading my head. in my early onset there where several occasions that i was checked and treated for lice as well with no indications there was lice present to begin with. i would just take the necessary precautions to eliminate any unwanted parasites and add protection to my scalp. the first time i noticed i had grey i felt shocked because of how young i was and how itchy my head became so i always dyed it with box dye to cover it. however over time more grey hair was developing and as it grew out i could feel this itchiness come back. it would drive me so mad there was a point i was buying a box of hair dye every week. that eventually caused a lot of breakage in my hair. i can honestly say the grey hair could be causing your scalp to itch because of my experience that every time new grays emerged throughout my entire head i would be uncontrollably non stop itching.
