Dermatologists agree that dry scalp occurs when the scalp cannot produce or hold enough moisture. Just as is common for other forms of dry skin, dry scalp<\/strong> can cause irritation, flaking, and itching. It can also cause your hair to look dry, given that oil from the scalp helps condition the hair.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People with dry skin tend to have an increased risk of dry scalp, meaning many of the things that cause dry skin also cause dry scalp. Such causes include excessive washing, dry air, and inflammatory skin conditions like eczema. Thankfully, there are many easy and effective ways to moisturize the scalp<\/strong>. Below, you\u2019ll find the best tips to help keep your scalp moisturized and healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apply A Hair Oil Or Serum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If dandruff is not the primary cause of dry scalp, then you may have success using scalp serums or oils that provide moisture. Replenish your scalp\u2019s moisture with one of those products at the start of your day. Before you apply the serum or oil, wet your hair first because you don\u2019t want your strands to pick up the majority of the product. In fact, beauty experts recommend using a cotton swab to apply it to the scalp. Serums, instead of oils, may reduce the risk of clogged hair follicles, which can cause other issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid Shampoos With Sulfates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you care about your hair, scalp, and skin, you will do your best to avoid skin and hair care products that contain sulfates. Some shampoos can strip the scalp of its natural oils, leaving it irritated and dry. Shampoos that do not contain sulfates are usually much gentler on your hair and scalp. If you have mild dandruff<\/a>, consider cleaning daily with a gentle shampoo. If that doesn\u2019t fix the issue, you may require a medicated dandruff shampoo. You may even need to experiment with more than a single shampoo or hair care product to address the issue.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cut Back On The Number Of Products You Use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Instead of adding more products to your hair and scalp care routine, you may need to take a step back and leave some out. If you use a wide variety of products, try to simplify your hair care routine<\/a>. Eliminate harsh ingredients and chemicals, opting for a more natural and streamline approach instead. Too many products can mess with the pH balance of the scalp and create additional issues that you don\u2019t want.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incorporate A Scalp Scrub<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A scalp scrub<\/a> may not seem like the correct choice if your scalp is dry, but your scalp may need it in certain instances. Much like exfoliating your skin, scrubbing your scalp can help to remove dead skin cells and excess build-up. That process can make it easier for oils and serums to penetrate deeper into the skin for optimal hydration. Scalp scrubs also help free up hair follicles for better growth.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exfoliate Your Scalp Every One To Two Weeks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although a scalp scrub can aid exfoliation, you may not require one to address your situation. Another thing to note is that you do not want to over-exfoliate, and avoid exfoliation if you have eczema or psoriasis. A scalp massage brush may dilate blood vessels under the skin, which may encourage hair growth<\/a>. If you use a scalp scrub during a massage with this brush, you may help slough away dead skin cells, oils, and anything else clogging your hair follicles.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try Scalp Oiling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you regularly massage oil into your scalp<\/a>, you may help address dryness or build-up. Scalp oiling is especially beneficial for dehydrated hair follicles, and it preps the hair for styling. If you have dandruff, however, avoid scalp oiling. This is a process that you should only do if your scalp is in need of more moisture because it helps boost circulation<\/a> and decongests the scalp.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visit A Head Spa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Depending on where you live, a head spa may not be accessible to you. A head spa basically offers treatments that address things concerning your scalp. Think of it like giving your scalp a facial! These places stem from the Japanese practice, where scalp-centric services are offered at many salons. A visit to a head spa can be beneficial, but may only provide temporary relief if your scalp concerns are more serious.<\/p>\n
