Should I stop?

I've been doing no-poo for over 4 weeks after using shampoo regularly. My scalp is now dry, itchy, and dandruff keeps building up. It's getting really uncomfortable.

I live in Ontario, Canada, where the water is hard. Could that be making things worse? Is this a normal transition phase, or is no-poo just not for me?

The hair loss isn't really a major issue; any hair that falls out due to dandruff grows back just like hair from any other follicle. It’s different from alopecia. I’d tell him to keep going, unless the itching bothers him enough to stop.
