You may have experienced itchy scalp and hair if you suffer from dry scalp. It can be painful or uncomfortable to have a dry scalp. This is why you need to find ways to soothe your scalp and restore its balance.
Here are some ways to deal with dry scalp.
Purifying shampoo
The best way to treat a dry scalp is with a nourishing shampoo. It softens the hair and adds moisture without stripping the hair. Shampoos such as Blue Lagoon purifying shampoo have been formulated to treat incredibly sensitive and dry scalps. They contain a formula which will deeply cleanse, hydrate and condition your hair.
Use a Scalp Nourishing Serum
You can prevent further damage by applying the serum after shampooing your hair every time. You can reduce the roughness on your scalp if you continue to suffer from dry skin.
Make your own DIY mask
While you wait for the conditioner or serum to do its magic, a DIY mask can help to moisturize your scalp and nourish it. You can, for example, mix 1 part castor oil with 1 part coconut oil and 1 part honey (raw or golden).
Massage the mask onto your scalp and rinse with water after the excess oil residue has disappeared. Depending on how dry your hair is, you can also apply a banana-based mask. Bananas contain vitamins that nourish the scalp.
Avoid chemicals with harsh ingredients
Remember that commercial shampoos contain harsh ingredients such as Sodium Laurel Sulfate (SLS), Ammonium Laureth Sulfate (ALS), and Cocamidopropyl Betaine. These harsh ingredients, when used excessively and for too much time, can dry out your hair. You should avoid using these chemicals until your scalp has repaired itself.
Visit a dermatologist
When you try several treatments and none of them work, it could be a more serious problem. These issues require the attention of a dermatologist and are easily remedied. The dermatologist will perform a few tests in order to diagnose the problem. The dermatologist then prescribes a treatment plan to restore your scalp’s health and normality.
Normal for your scalp’s moisture to decrease. If it persists, dryness may become a problem. A dry scalp is not the same as dandruff. Dandruff, an infection, causes a white, flaky buildup that is itchy and flaky. A dry scalp causes your hair to lose its natural moisture and look dull. You are now well-equipped to handle a dry skin.
