...tho my problem was not as severe as yours - just recurring dandruff and itchiness. But usually only during the winter months when the air is a lot drier. Special shampoos never helped significantly for me either, though I hadn't tried all that many. Instead, for the hell of it, I decided to lather in aloe vera gel (same stuff you'd use for sunburn, tho' without alcohol or that artificial green coloration) into my scalp after washing. Solved the itchiness and dandruff, until a next wash. I figure aloe is supposed to have skin healing properties, so why not. Then again, I'm also buzzed to near baldness so gunking up my hair is a non-issue. Still, just my 2 cents. Take from it what you will.
And as for ur situation, not just simple - but cheaper too! :D
I guess the shower just doesn't rinse properly and I'd built up an allergy to the unrinsed remains.
But it is odd. Shower water and tap water I'm sure come from the same well or reservoir, right? Maybe something in the pipes, then, leading to the shower head? Tho' ur theory sounds good too (and more probable), and means less hassle if it's only the replacement of a shower head. ;)

Had a similar "well, that was easy" experience last year or so...
