How Do You Control A Dry Itchy Scalp?
Dry, itchy scalp can be quite bothersome, especially during the winter months or extreme climate changes. Severe cases can even lead to infection from excessive scratching. This condition usually stems from a person drying out the scalp from use of drying hair products, severe weather changes or improper diet. A person suffering from a dry, itchy scalp can control, treat and lower the occurrence and severity of the symptoms by adopting a few simple hair care rituals. Treat dry, itchy scalp with deep conditioning and moisturizing treatments. Use a mild or extra moisturizing shampoo. Massage the scalp to stimulate blood flow and oxygen to the area. Wrap head with warm, moist towels, or use other non-alcohol based hair products that are specifically for dry scalp. Avoid the use of products with the foaming agent sodium laureth (or lauryl) sulphate (SLS), which will dry the scalp, irritate skin, damaging hair and hair follicles, as well as strip the natural oils from your skin and hair.
