Dry Scalp/Dandruff

My skin is so dry. Ive noticed this since I found out I was pregnant the week of thanksgiving. My scalp is so dry and itchy so I bought Head and Shoulders. BIG MISTAKE. Now my hair looks and feels greasy no matter how long I rinse my hair.

Anyone else have this issue? Any shampoo and conditioner suggestions?

    Tea tree line by Paul Mitchell is amazing for dry scalp. They have shampoo and conditioner and soap bars. It also helps clear up acne.

    I've mixed tea tree oil (not a ton, just a bit) in with my regular cheap shampoo,and then rinse with a tbsp or two of Apple cider vinegar in a cup of water. It never totally worked for me, but it helps with the itching. My newer solution was to get a shampoo bar from Etsy that was recommended to me by an online friend. It's sulfate free and has been amazing for my hair (which is saying something because I've had dandruff for as long as I can remember). The bar takes some getting used to but now when I usea regular shampoo I hate how my hair feels (and I'm almost immediately back to itching, too)

    Can you let me know what to search for for the specific shampoo bar that you recommend from etsy?  I'm sure there are many different ones out there, but I'm always looking for new solutions that have truly worked for others.
