Treatment Trio
Dry and itchy scalp can be a bothersome condition that many people experience at some point in their lives. Although if we’re being honest, it can be pretty embarrassing to admit especially if you suffer from fallout such as dandruff, pun intended.
But on a serious note, it can be uncomfortable and extremely inconvenient, leading to flakiness, irritation, and even hair loss if left untreated. There are several factors that can contribute to a dry scalp, including cold weather, harsh hair products, and skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis but if you understand the causes and symptoms of dry scalp, then you can remedy the issue much faster.
One of the primary causes of dry scalp is a lack of moisture. When the scalp becomes dry, it can lead to itchiness, flakiness, and irritation as we said before, but some of the other factors may not be as obvious as others. Other factors such as harsh shampoos, excessive washing, and certain hair treatments can strip the scalp of its natural oils, exacerbating the problem. Additionally, underlying skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis can contribute to a dry and itchy scalp. These conditions can cause inflammation and flakiness, further irritating the scalp. Luckily for you we have three amazing products you can use right now to quickly add moisture and hydration to your scalp as well as create the perfect base for more healthy hair growth.
The first product is a great and easy introduction to scalp care. The Virtue Exfoliating Scalp Treatment is designed to remove buildup and dead skin cells from the scalp, promoting a healthy balance of oils and preventing flakiness. It contains alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) to gently exfoliate the scalp and stimulate circulation. To use, apply a small amount to the scalp and massage it in with fingertips. Leave on for a few minutes before rinsing thoroughly. The product we would recommend following up with is the Dr. Barbara Sturm Scalp Serum which is formulated by renowned skincare expert Dr. Barbara Sturm, and is enriched with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and purslane to hydrate and soothe the scalp. It also contains caffeine to stimulate circulation and promote hair growth. To use, apply a few drops to the scalp and massage gently. Use daily for best results. Finally, after our exfoliation and serum application, we would finish our treatment with the Aesop Scalp and Oil Treatment. This lightweight, leave-in treatment is formulated with botanical oils to nourish and hydrate the scalp. It helps to relieve dryness and itching while promoting healthy hair growth. To use, simply apply a few drops to the scalp and massage gently. Leave it on overnight for best results, and wash out in the morning.
