7 must-have treatments for soothing a dry, itchy scalp
Ditch the itch (for good)
Dealing with dryness and irritation on your head can be a real nuisance, but don't worry – you're certainly not alone. From extreme dandruff to conditions like seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis, there's potentially a slew of reasons behind that unwelcome itching. Yet, sometimes the culprit is as simple as a dry or irritated scalp.
The key to finding the right solution lies in understanding the root cause of your scalp's dryness and tailoring the treatment accordingly. Unlike pesky dandruff caused by yeast or bacteria, dry scalp issues can stem from a plethora of factors like harsh shampoos, fragrance sensitivity, environmental humidity levels, shower habits, medications, hormones, or even the natural process of ageing.
To get a proper diagnosis, it's important to see a doctor or dermatologist. However, if you simply have a dry scalp, scalp treatments are a good place to start. Below, we've put together an edit of superior treatments that'll have you feeling confident and flake-free once again.
