I have always had pretty hair, never permed.
Now it is like straw. Conditioner doesn’t help.

My hair is also dry and my scalp itches all the time-I’m not sure if it correlates with my PD.

How about trying a hair mask? You can use coconut oil, or a few other options, massage your scalp if possible.

I’ll take a hug anytime! Thank you. My hair is not dry. I have never colored it and I don’t have any grey but I am 82 so it is not normal. Just itchy scalp which I have never had before.

I’m pretty sure I’ve had Parkinson’s for a while now. Quite a while back I developed terrible dandruff. I think that’s related. My hair is also like straw, but I’ve always assumed that was the grey. Maybe it’s related, too.
