A dry scalp is when itchy and dandruff starts to appear when you brush or comb your hair. To remedy a dry scalp, several natural solutions exist!
Above all, avoid overly aggressive shampoos and favor a mild and moisturizing shampoo based on eggs or urea that leaves the hair clean without attacking the epidermis. Anti-dandruff shampoos should be used in moderation . It is also necessary to avoid hairstyles that are too tight (bun, pigtails or ponytail), leaving the hair free is ideal .
When we have a dry scalp, we tend to use hair oils that are too greasy and therefore, to end up with the opposite problem, greasy substances are to be handled with care. Coconut oil, on the other hand, treats the dryness of the scalp and therefore gently eliminates dandruff.
You include essential oils in your hair routine, which also help combat irritation caused by a dry scalp. Tea tree clarifies and purifies the skin and lavender soothes itching.
Mix coconut oil with a few drops of essential oil of tea tree and lavender then massage your dry scalp with this mixture. Leave for 30 minutes before your shampoo.
Hair products based on panthenol, vitamins B5 and betaine are recommended for their calming effect, they create a protective and moisturizing film on the surface of the dry scalp.
