What causes a dry scalp and oily hair?

Before we dive into the solutions, it’s important to understand what actually causes these problems. A dry scalp can be caused by several factors, including changes in weather, overuse of hair care products, or even an imbalance in your scalp’s natural oil production. On the other hand, excess oil in the hair can result from overproduction of sebum by the scalp, which may be due to hormonal changes, stress, or even an improper hair care routine.

How can you treat a dry scalp?

First and foremost, it’s important to use the right type of hair care products that won’t dry out your scalp even more. Our Caring Shampoo is specially formulated to soothe a dry and itchy scalp while nourishing your hair. With ingredients like hyaluronic acid and piroctone olamine, it’s a lifesaver for an irritated scalp.

To further moisturize and soothe your scalp, you can also use our Scalp Food. This nourishing scalp serum is packed with natural ingredients that soothe irritation and promote a healthy scalp. After using Scalp Food , your scalp will thank you with less itching and irritation.

When washing your hair, it’s also important not to use water that’s too hot, as this can dry out your scalp even more. Instead, use lukewarm water to gently cleanse and moisturize your scalp.

How can you deal with oily hair?

When it comes to managing oily hair, the key is to use products that don’t overstimulate the scalp’s oil production. Our Volume Infusion is a fantastic product that adds volume to your hair while balancing the scalp’s oil production. With ingredients like provitamin B5, your hair will look fuller without feeling heavy or greasy.

To refresh your hair between washes, you can also try our Volume Dry Shampoo This quick and easy solution absorbs excess oil from the scalp and gives your hair a refreshing boost without having to use water.

When applying conditioner, it’s also important to avoid applying it directly to the scalp, as this can make your hair greasier. Instead, focus on applying conditioner along the lengths and ends to avoid excess oil at the roots.
