Itching and some hair loss may be normal weeks after a hair transplant surgery.But you really can't get a diagnosis without an exam.  Please see your doctor.

It is very common to have itching in the post op period because of the healing which is taking place. It can also be due to minoxidil which may irritate your skin, so it will be better to visit your surgeon for a physical examination and further guidance.

These kinds of things can occur and can last a few months or even be forever but usually not a serious matter. It is good to follow  up with your doctor on the matter.

Itching after surgery is normal and is indicative of hurling process.  Sometimes an OTC hydrocortisone cream helps with the itching. But to be sure visits with your doctor.

Of course, when you heal, the healing skin will itch, but scratching is something that you must never do or you can induce an infection. Use a good conditioner after shampooing and leave it on your head for 5 mintues before washing it off. That might help.
