Suffering From Dry Scalp? Do’s And Don'ts To Soothe Dry Scalp


A dry scalp that leads to continuous itching is one of the most irritating scalp problems. From dry flakes coming onto your shoulders to constant scratching of your head is no fun. Dry scalp refers to skin that is deprived of natural oils. Dealing with a dry, itchy scalp is a nightmare and finding remedies to this problem after changing so many hair care products can prove to be more frustrating.

What causes dry scalp?

A dry scalp is caused when the skin loses too much of its natural moisture or does not make enough oil or sebum. The main issues that cause dry, itchy scalp are dandruff, reaction to hair care products, and changes in styling habits like creating crochet braids immediately after shampooing without letting it dry out completely, skin problems such as eczema and psoriasis, allergies, stress, weather changes, and diet.

Having a dry scalp can be embarrassing and uncomfortable, so in this article, we have mentioned some do’s and don't that will help you soothe your dry scalp.

 

●      Scalp massage

Any type of scalp massage is fruitful because it helps improve blood circulation, produces natural oils, stimulates hair follicles and ensures better hair growth. Using any hair oil that contains ingredients like Jamaican Black Castor oil will get rid of dry scalp. Warm the oil between your hands and massage your scalp to add moisture to it and increase the blood flow.

●      Hair conditioning treatment

When your scalp doesn’t produce enough natural oil, it leads to dull hair and an itchy, flaky scalp. Nourish your scalp with a scalp treatment to instantly soothe and moisturise your scalp and treat dryness and itchiness. A coarse hair treatment will also help you get rid of the underlying problem. We also recommend using an Olaplex conditioner that will ensure long-lasting moisture and hydration to your hair.

●      Use moisturising shampoo and hair products

Shampooing your hair too regularly or using products that are too harsh for your hair and scalp is one of the main reasons for dry, irritated scalp. Look for a shampoo that is gentle on your hair or is specially formulated for dry hair. The best advice is to choose shampoos that contain moisturising ingredients and will save your hair from harsh chemicals.

You can use Paul Mitchel Super Strong shampoo that will cleanse your scalp and nourish your hair thoroughly. Also look for hair products such as Aphogee balancing moisturiser, cream pomade, deep conditioning treatment, and hair products containing Jamaican Black Castor oil that will deeply moisturise your hair and scalp and prevent dry, irritated scalp.



 

●      Prevent the use of heat styling tools

The use of excessive heat in the form of heat styling tools on your hair can also result in a dry scalp. Heat styling tools such as blow dryers, curlers, and flat irons damage the hair roots and shafts and lead to a dry, irritated scalp.

 

Try using hair tools with moderate heat or on a cooler setting along with a heat protectant serum to cut down the heat while styling your hair into crochet braids or french braids. Also, try using warm water instead of boiling water while you shower to allow your scalp to maintain the moisture level of your hair.

 

●      Keep yourself hydrated

Dehydration can also lead to dry scalp. We all know that staying hydrated is very important for a healthy glowing complexion. Make sure you drink 6-8 glasses of water daily to beat dry scalp and keep your skin healthy and hydrated. Another great way to ensure that you get daily water intake is by consuming foods like watermelons and cucumbers that contain lots of water.

 

We hope that you have understood how and where to begin to improve your scalp health to make sure you get a happy, healthy and hydrated scalp. Gentle hair care products such as shampoo, conditioners, oils, water intake and a proper diet are all your need to bring back life to your dry, irritated scalp. Follow our simple tips to say goodbye to irritation, dryness, flaking and itching.

Here are some tips:   Shampoo vs Conditioner: What Does Each Do?   Shampooing is an essential hygiene step, while conditioning is often considered a luxury.
