Tips for combating dry scalps

Relaxation for your scalp.

Whether an updo in summer or a woolly hat in winter: do things that others wear whenever they like give you an irritated scalp and itchy, flaky spots?

Possible causes of dry scalps.

A dry scalp can be associated with generally dry or very dry skin as well as with atopic dermatitis. However, the scalp may also just be temporarily reacting to the cold in winter, heat in summer, dry air from central heating, being washed in excessively hot water, the use of too hot a hair dryer setting, intensive styling, fragrances or chlorinated water. Stress can also trigger a dry scalp.

Looking for tips on combating a dry scalp? What you can do to prevent scalp dryness:

1) Moderate heat:

Heat is a major irritant for dry scalps. You should therefore wash your hair in tepid water and select the lowest possible temperature for your hair dryer. Ideally, you should leave your hair to dry naturally.

2) Balanced diet:

A balanced diet plays an important part in restoring balance to you and your dry scalp. Please also drink plenty of fluids as they supply your skin with moisture.

3) Relaxation:

As stress can increase the risk of irritated skin, take breaks to relax during everyday life to prevent a dry, itchy scalp. This will also have the added bonus of improving your general wellbeing.

4) Gentle care:

Try to avoid washing your hair every day. You should also opt for natural care products that clean the hair with mild, plant-based surfactants or rhassoul and do not extract any moisture from your dry scalp.
