Hi, it appears that the irritation of the scalp might be due to stimulation of the hair follicles, and the growth of new hair. it is said that some people get such irritation, If it persists you can change to 2% solution.
Besides you have balanced and nourishing food, to aid the hair growth and maintain the healthy hair. Thank you.
