Everyone gets an itchy scalp now and again: heat, too much product or just because. I have a solution: Neno Natural’s full-proof anti-itch hair wash.
Key ingredient: peppermint essential oil. This is my routine: 1. Wash hair with just water until full soaked and rinsed. 2. Shampoo gently and rinse that out with water only. 3. Fill a big bottle with warm water. I use an old milk bottle (c.3 litres), add 10 drops of peppermint oil. Run that water through the already rinsed hair. 4. Apply conditioner. Leave it in your hair for c.15 minutes with a shower cap over your head. The peppermint will continue working under the heat. I normally blow dry the surface of the shower cap for more heat. 5. Finish your hair routine in your usual way. Optional step: in step 4 you can add 3 to 5 drops of peppermint essential oil to a handful of conditioner for maximum effect.
Can you add the peppermint in at any point?
Probably. That said:

I used eco styler myself for the very first time two days ago. My sister 'outted' me in the comments below by remembering that it was also used on my wedding day by the stylist, I had forgotten!
PROS As a gel, it works very well. My hair was flattened neatly against my scalp with a wavy sort of texture and it didn't look like gel normally does: bright, unnatural, clumpy. My hair looked good. CONS However, last night, I noticed that my hair was itching unusually. I do not normally have an itchy scalp and eco styler is the only new product I had applied to my hair so it was probably the culprit. Today, when I looked at my scalp closely, horror of all horrors, I had dandruff. Perhaps this is just the dried product but it looked unsightly. All things considered, I will use the gel again but next time I will wash it out the same day. I have a great formula for an itchy scalp: Neno Natural’s full-proof anti-itch hair wash.
