We will explore the possible causes behind this nuisance and share practical tips and advice to soothe and care for your scalp. So let's dive into the topic and give your scalp the care it deserves!

Why do I have an itchy scalp?

An itchy scalp can be frustrating and uncomfortable, but there are several factors that can contribute to this problem. Here are some common causes:

Dry scalp: One of the most common causes of itching is dry scalp. When the scalp becomes dehydrated, it can become irritated and itchy. This can be caused by cold, dry air, frequent washing or the use of hair products that dry out the scalp. To relieve this, you can use our Caring Shampoo, a gentle and moisturizing hair wash specially designed to soothe and nourish dry scalp. The product contains a unique moisturizing complex of hyaluronic acid and avocado oil that hydrates the scalp and nourishes your curls from root to tip.

Excessive oil production: On the other hand, an overproduction of oil on the scalp can also lead to itching. When the sebaceous glands produce too much oil, it can result in an oily and irritated scalp. To balance sebum production and freshen up the scalp, we recommend our Caring Conditioner. This 100% vegan product is specially formulated to nourish and protect both hair and scalp. With its unique moisturizing complex of hyaluronic acid and avocado oil, it helps to hydrate and soften hair without weighing it down. Caring Conditioner It also soothes the scalp and counteracts itching through its enrichment of Piroctone Olamine. By using our Caring Conditioner you can achieve a balanced and healthy scalp while leaving your hair silky and healthy.

Allergic reactions: Some people may be sensitive or allergic to certain hair care products or ingredients. This can result in an itchy scalp that reacts to the substances used. If you suspect you have an allergic reaction, consider using our products from The Every which are free from sulfates, parabens and cyclic silicones.

Practical tips to relieve itchy scalp

Now that we've understood some possible causes behind itchy scalp, let's take a look at some practical tips to help alleviate the trouble:

This 100% vegan everyday shampoo promotes a healthy scalp using its unique moisturizing complex of hyaluronic acid and avocado oil, while Piroctone Olamine soothes the scalp and counteracts itching and dandruff.

Avoid excessive heat: The use of heat styling tools such as hair dryers, straighteners and curling irons can dry out the scalp and cause itching.

This nourishing heat protectant repairs damaged hair, removes frizz, adds moisture and prevents split ends. It contains ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, pea protein, pomegranate extract and provitamin B5 to protect hair when using heat tools.
