Losing hair

Thanks ladies and Mrs_H! I am thinking that because wool irritates and makes me itchy, I might need something like soft cotton or bamboo wool for beanies.  Cotton jersey sounds great... will follow link. I also like the Dermaveen oatmeal shampoo idea ... have used it in the bath before - the bodywash. If anyone suffers eczma or psoriasis (sp?) I can recommend Carolines Creams at the chemist. They are expensive but go a long way, no nasties. My dad is bald and was suffering from a scaly itchy scalp and the shampoo fixed it. You can also get a head cream. When I was working in education a lot of mums were relying on the creams for their poor kids who end up making things worse by scratching.
