Hi Sandy, What I do to stop the itching-is I apply a little leave in conditioner- like Redkin Glass. I also wear a dew rag that is made of silk type material. The cotton ones absorb the oils from your scalp and dry your scalp out- hence the itching. I use the dew rags at 2upTouring.com -I admit I made them - but seriously- I won't leave for a ride with out it. It doesn't have seams at all under the helmet and that helps too- to stop the itching.
