My scalp still itches on occasion, but thank goodness I seem to have this a bit under control (won't say totally because I keep getting reinfected by the environment)... I actually had been working on my scalp even before I found out about M. I know I have demodex and had terrible dandruff/yeast problems on the scalp. What has been working for me:

-Jason's tea tree oil shampoo + conditioner
-Jason's lavendar shampoo + conditioner
-Face Dr. SeaBuckthorne Oil shampoo + conditioner
-Using Apple Cider vinegar as a rinse (I don't do this often but it works great against fungus)
-Selsun blue shampoo, often mixed together with salt.
-Olive oil, mixed together with some tea tree oil and DE - I put this on overnight and sleep in it. I think you could experiment with this with other types of essential oils and leave it in overnight. Works great!!! I get a lot of relief from this. You could also try DE in a paste alone, but I find it dries the scalp and hair out, and I don't know if the flakes are from purging or from dry scalp, so I find mixed with Olive Oil is better.
-New Hope Soaps and balm - sometimes leave the soap and or/balm in the scalp overnight. It's hard to wash the balm out of the hair, so I like just leaving the soap in to dry better.

Honestly, I am still working on everything, but my biggest problems are eyes, sinuses, and ears, and ENVIRONMENT. I knew my skin was improving when they started heavily going for the sinuses and eyes.
Let me know how the "Blink" works.

It seems like my scalp has cleaned up some since I started using it about a month ago. Will keep you posted on anything else I learn. . .
