Honestly? This sounds like you need to see a doctor. Lush has some great products, but they certainly don't make anything that works better than going to see a physician about a medical condition. You may even be making it worse by using Lush products. I'd definitely get a doctor's opinion first.

I was going to say this too ... a year and a half ago I thought I was just losing hair, but it turns out I have alopecia and nothing works to bring it back but steroids. And I waited too long to get it checked out and now it's in this crazy cycle where it's all falling out.

It's probably nothing, but there are a TON of things that could lead to your hair falling out that are easily treatable but you have to know the cause.

Very true! I just wanted to throw in that things like vitamin deficiencies, thyroid problems, hormone imbalances, alopecia, and more, can be causing this and definitely need a doctor's treatment.

Definitely see a Doctor. If you get an all clear from them, then I'd go with Squeaky Green, it definitely should help with the itchies, but I'm not sure about the hair loss.

If you're losing a lot of hair, I would also suggest seeing a doctor. It could be nothing, but it could be something that needs to be treated.

For itchiness I second the coconut oil treatment, it works for me.
