Hair itchiness and white things stuck to hair

I've had this problem with my hair for almost a year now. My head is ALWAYS SO itchy and it drives me nuts. NOTHING works- i use a LOT of hair products but I dont think it's all from that. Not only do I have a scalp itchiness problem but I also have these with things stuck to my hair. It's so weird, I panicked for like a week thinking it was head lice so I went out and boucht one of those Nit combs and used it on my hair. ALL those white oval shaped things came out, but no lice??? I'm so confused. After about three days after I combed, the white things came back. I don't understand- I fit was head lice both my son AND my husband AND everyone at my work would hair it (due to hairbrushes and headsets). I just dont get it, Ive looked up every scalp thing on the internet and NOTHING sounds like this white stuff on my hair but head lice- but I've checked so many times. PLEAASSSSE HELP!!!

I am 15 and recently my hair has randomly started to become really itchy and dandruffy, then suddenly stop, then suddenly start again, like every 2 weeks... it's really weird. Also I have the black dot and waxy stuff at the tip of my hair.... I was so worried I had lice

Yes, By accident, I found that 3% hydrogen peroxide left on overnight REALLY HELPS ALOT. I think it stops the bumps that cause itch from manifesting.
-It won't stop the lint/fiber things from being there, But it'll give you alot of relief.

Please Help! I've had this problem for about 7 to 8 Mo.s now. One morning I was taking a shower and normally when I condition I run a comb through my hair no problem.this particular morning the comb wouldn't budge. My hair felt totally matted.after a few aggressive washes I noticed what felt like slime washing off. When my hair is dry and I comb through it, these white almost fiber like things come off my hair and scalp.  I also have sores on my head that are really painful even when brushing.then I've also been experiencing this on my eyelashes n eyebrows, these white scaly things come out of the hair where my lashes are and I have small bumps along my eye line. Can anyone help?
