So you struggle with a dry scalp? Don't worry, you're not alone! It's like sometimes the scalp decides to take a vacation, leaving us with the feeling of wearing a prickly, itchy sweater all day long. But fear not! We have the tips to restore the balance and make your scalp feel like new again. Let's dive in!

What is dry scalp?

Before we get started with the solutions, it is good to understand what we are talking about. Dry scalp occurs when the scalp doesn't produce enough oil, which can result in itching, flaking and irritation. It's like the scalp loses its natural moisture, which can be really irritating and sometimes even painful.

What causes dry scalp?

There are several factors that can contribute to dry scalp. First, weather changes can play a big role. When the weather gets cold and dry, as it does during the winter months, it can cause the scalp to dry out. Using hair products with drying ingredients is also a culprit. Some shampoos contain sulphates and other harsh chemicals that can strip the scalp of its natural oils and dry it out even more. Over-washing the hair is another common culprit. Washing your hair too often can strip your scalp of the natural oils it produces to stay moisturized and healthy. Stress and poor diet can also play a role in causing dry scalp. When we are stressed, our body produces more of certain hormones, which can affect the scalp and make it dry and itchy. A poor diet that lacks essential nutrients can also lead to scalp problems.

Tips to combat dry scalp

1. Use a mild shampoo: Switch to a mild, sulfate-free shampoo that won't dry out your scalp further. Our Caring Shampoo is perfect for soothing and moisturizing an irritated scalp. The mild ingredients gently cleanse without stripping your scalp of its natural oils, leaving it feeling balanced and healthy.
2. Apply a moisturizing hair mask: Once a week, treat your scalp and hair with our Caring Masque. Its nourishing formula will give your scalp the love it deserves. Apply the mask evenly over your hair and leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Your scalp will thank you by feeling softer and less irritated.
3. Avoid hot showers: Hot showers can dry out both your skin and scalp. Try lowering the temperature of the water to retain moisture. When washing your hair, use lukewarm water instead of hot to avoid further irritating your scalp.
4. Massage your scalp: Give your scalp a loving massage with your fingertips when you wash your hair. This stimulates blood circulation and promotes healthy hair growth. The massage also helps to distribute the scalp's natural oils evenly, which can help reduce dryness and itching.
5. Avoid scratching: It's tempting to scratch when your scalp itches, but it can make the problem worse. Instead, use a soothing treatment like our Repair Infusion to relieve itching and irritation. This effective formula contains ingredients specially designed to soothe and moisturize a dry and itchy scalp, so you can feel comfortable and free from discomfort.
