Dry scalp - what to do

Dry scalp is a problem for many people. Especially in winter, many suffer from itchy scalp. But not only that, scalp problems are often associated with dandruff. Then it becomes really unpleasant. But what can you do against dry scalp? Which tricks help? We'll tell you in our article.

What are the causes of dry scalp?
As with all causes of hair and scalp problems, there are also different reasons for dry scalp. One of the main reasons is seasonal. Often more people suffer from dry, tight scalp in winter. The main reason is the dry heating air. It dries out the skin and hair. Since almost everywhere is heated in winter, the problem occurs more often in the cold season. Of course, there are also people who have a dry scalp due to a genetic predisposition. Shampoos and care products can only help to a limited extent with this problem. If the dry scalp is caused by stress, various products can provide relief. Depending on the cause, the products that can be used differ. Another reason for a very dry scalp can be the use of too aggressive shampoos. These dry out the hair and scalp more with each wash. If your dry scalp only appears in winter, it is due to the different temperatures indoors. The heating air and the constant change between cold and warm is hard on your scalp.

What helps with dry scalp?
The more you know the cause of your scalp problems, the more effective you can be against it. If it is due to the use of wrong and aggressive hair care products, you can easily solve the problem. As a first aid measure, try to wash your hair significantly less. This will allow the scalp to recover. In the next step, change your shampoo. Try to use a hair care product that is particularly mild. Or even switch to an organic shampoo. For example, you can use Natural Flowers Hydro Shampoo. It consists of 100% organic ingredients. These are particularly mild for your hair and have a nourishing effect on the scalp. With the right hair care products, the moisture balance of the skin is restored. After some time of use, you can switch back to a normal shampoo. However, be careful not to use a shampoo that is too aggressive. If you can't pinpoint the cause of your dry scalp, Moroccanoil's Dry Scalp Serum will help. Rub it on your scalp 1 to 2 times a day, as needed. The high-quality serum helps restore the scalp's moisture balance. It nourishes, moisturizes and relieves itching. You can use the serum for any cause of dry scalp. You have a lot of stress and know that your skin suffers from it? The only thing that helps is to switch off! For acute treatment of itchy scalp, it helps to use the serum from Moroccanoil. It immediately nourishes and moisturizes. To treat your problem further, the hair care can be changed. Temporarily use a particularly mild shampoo and reduce the number of hair washes. These measures will help against the symptom. In the long run, however, you should take care to reduce your stress. This is the only way to solve the problem of dry scalp. For any cause of scalp problems, it helps to prevent some stress factors. One of them is blow drying. Drying with hot air puts the scalp under extreme stress. The hot air dries it out tremendously and worsens the condition. Therefore, try to blow dry the hair only at the tips and lengths. Dry the hair at the roots with a towel. Dyeing hair is also a great stress for the skin. Aggressive substances get directly to the scalp and attack it. It is dried out and must defend itself against the foreign substances. This demands a lot from the scalp. Here it helps to dye with natural color or to leave the dyeing for the time being.

Dry scalp and dandruff
What seems harmless at the beginning can quickly become a real problem. At the beginning, many people "only" suffer from dry scalp. Later, however, the scalp is so irritated that it incessantly produces dandruff. These collect on the surface of the scalp and clump together. As this clump they then fall down on the shoulders and become visible. This is not only unpleasant for aesthetic reasons, but it can also lead to worse irritation of the scalp. Immediately at the first sign of dandruff, an appropriate care product should be applied. Use a mild anti-dandruff shampoo. It regenerates the scalp and can fix the problem at a very early stage. If the problem spreads, you should ask your hairdresser for advice. Normal scalp discomfort can be managed with professional hair care products. If the problem gets worse, you should definitely ask a doctor for advice.
