Itchy scalp? Dry scalp? Presence of scabs? All of these symptoms are characteristic of a sensitive and overworked scalp that requires gentle treatment. To soothe an itchy scalp, here are some tips.

A itchy scalp is an imbalanced scalp, which has become too dry due to too much aggression, which can be external or internal. Among the external causes, we find the changes of season, pollution, the use of inappropriate care or used too frequently. You should also be wary of the hot hair dryer which can burn the scalp (and the hair fiber).

In internal causes, stress, fatigue, poor diet or a change in the hormonal cycle can affect the nature of the skin and scalp and cause hypersensitivity.

Shampoos suitable for dry scalp

To soothe the itchy scalp, the first step is to remove excessively aggressive shampoos from your bathroom. All shampoos with sulfate, silicone, collagen and loaded with surfactants can damage and dry out your scalp even more.

If you have a dry scalp, opt for gentle, soothing shampoos. You can find in drugstores anti-dandruff and anti-itching treatment shampoos that will be particularly suitable. Do not hesitate to seek advice from a drugstore in order to get the best out of your new care and apply the treatment properly to obtain rapid results.

Try to space the shampoos as much as possible to let your scalp breathe. When you apply your shampoo, be careful not to rub the scalp too much and favor a light massage with your fingertips.

Itchy scalp: a gentle beauty routine

After washing your hair, be careful when drying it. Rubbing hard with the towel could irritate your already damaged scalp, gently blot your hair without rubbing. The use of a hair dryer should be avoided so as not to dry out the scalp, at least while you rehydrate your scalp.

To style your hair, avoid tying your hair as much as possible so as not to pull too much on the scalp. Likewise, wearing a hat or beanie regularly can help suffocate the scalp and cause itching. Finally, even if a itchy scalp can be very unpleasant, above all, do not scratch yourself and avoid constantly fiddling with your hair: this made the situation worse. The watchword is to let your scalp breathe and let it rest.

Treatments to treat your dry scalp

To treat a itchy scalp, there are specific care ranges. In drugstores, you can find lotions and serums to be applied daily to the scalp, through small massages to be performed with your fingertips. This will hydrate the scalp and soothe it quickly.

In addition, an unhealthy scalp can lead to hair loss, or poor growth with thin, brittle hair. Better to react quickly and not let the situation escalate.

In cases of severe itching or numerous scabs in the scalp, it is better to consult a dermatologist who can make a diagnosis and direct you to appropriate care. It can indeed be psoriasis, severe inflammation or infection, and in order not to make the situation worse, it is better to call a professional.
