I had short hair for years. When I was younger, I had hair to be my butt. I grew out my hair past my shoulders, above my boobs. For some reason when my hair is dirty or when it's not [sometimes] my neck gets itchy.. like a rash. is there something wrong with me? my hair? i got this when i was younger, but only when i was sleeping .. i always pushed my hair back off my neck.
Is it because I haven't washed my hair or is it something else? Help?

That may be the cause?
You could get one of those hair combs that stretch and go all the way around your head (I can't think of what they are called)to help keep your hair from resting directly on your neck.
Or you can use a headband or keep your hair tied up.

If it happens while it's clean, you might be allergic to either your shampoo, conditioner, or other hair care products.
With me, if I get sweaty, the back of my neck where my hair is starts to bother me. But you didn't say anything about that so it's most likely one of the first two.
What you can (to see if it's the first one) is always keep your hair clean and washed. If after doing this for a while your hair doesn't bother you any more, then that's your problem.
IF you find that it still gives you a rash you need to test your haircare products. Switch out each thing you use, one item at a time. It'll take a while but this is really the only way to find out what it can be.
