I get the same thing with certain helmets, mostly the one's with the textured nylon liner. The nylon kinda pulls at the hair and causes my head to itch.

I found two solutions, Arai helmets and Betty's helmet Slik. The Slik is no longer being made but maybe you could find one on ebay.

I use the Bell Custom 500 helmet with the retro shield. The silk liner is breathable, and doesn't itch me all up.

I usually keep my head shaved. Too hot for hair, and don't like helmet hair. Right now, being winter time, I have a head full of hair. If I don't use any hair products, I have no itch from a helmet. If I use even a slight amount of gel, my head itches like crazy with a helmet on. Maybe that's the answer. My ol never puts anything in her hair before a ride, and uses a bandana on her head to keep her hair in place. Also uses a leather hair pipe to keep the back from becoming a rats nest. Maybe worth a try?

Has nothing to do with helmet laws. The OP stated "she won't ride without it".

Maybe one of the other women that wears the helmet is using something that is irritating your wife's scalp.
Decision time...
