I don't know if there's any answer to the itching. I get that whenever I wear a stocking hat, riding or not riding. All I can suggest is that she try different helmets.

Get rid of the head lice. Lice don't like helmets. They get claustrophobic.

I had a helmet years ago that made my head itch. I tossed it out and got a new one of a different brand. No more itch.
It may be an allergic reaction to something in the helmet. Read the label and see what the liner or the foam is made of and try to find a helmet using different materials.
If that doesn't work ask an allergist or dermatologist MD what they think.
Good Luck.

I have one helmet that I wear, and sometimes my head itches like crazy and sometime not. No matter if I wear a doo rag, fresh washed hair, blow dried or not.

And this might sound crazy now, but tell your wife to quit caffeine before a ride. No coffee or sodas for a few hours. See if it works.
