3 Ways To Deal With A Dry, Itchy Scalp
As temperatures drop, our scalps (and hair) can get dry and itchy – and you don’t have to be someone who naturally suffers from dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis to experience this itchy-scratchy affliction. If this sounds like you, you’re not alone – Google searches for “itchy flaky scalp treatment” are up over 5000 per cent, suggesting that we’re all on the hunt for some solutions that actually help.
Here are some of our top tips to try now:
Use the right shampoo
Washing your hair regularly with the right shampoo can help prevent oil and pollution build-up. Look for ingredients like tar, zinc pyrithione and selenium sulphide for targeted benefits.
Nurture your scalp
We often forget about the importance of scalp health, instead prioritising the appearance of our hair. But the scalp is key for creating healthy hair, so it pays to look after it. Much like you do your face, consider adding a weekly gentle scalp scrub into your routine to lift dead cells and clarify the area. After that, make sure you’re hydrating daily. Our Almost Everything Cream helps moisturise the scalp and tame frizz and add shine on ends, making it an essential – if we do say so ourselves.
The power of a hair brush
It pays to stimulate the scalp, whether that’s with massage – use circular motions to promote blood flow – or by simply using your brush to get into the roots. Our Detangling Brush is brilliant for gliding through knots, but the flexible bristles are also brilliant at gently working on the scalp.- Tags: HAIR CARE HOW TO QUICK FIXES
