How to Relieve Itchy Scalp

These tips will help you to alleviate itchy scalp and maintain a healthy one.

Instructions

1. Keep Scalp Moisturized
   Like your skin, your scalp also needs to be moisturized or it will become dry and itchy. For some, the scalp is well-balanced and produces natural oils that relieve the scalp of itching and dandruff; However regular exposure to sulfate shampoos, chemicals, styling products, and dry environments, will strip the scalp of it's oils causing that annoying itch! Try natural moisturizers like Jojoba oil or Shea Butter. Also be sure to use moisturizing shampoos (preferably sulfate free), and rinse the conditioners clean from you scalp after conditioning.

2. Wash Hair Properly
   Once you find a ph balanced, moisturizing or anti-dandruff formula shampoo, be sure to wash no more than 3x's per week. Simply (co-wash)conditioner wash with an inexpensive conditioner if your hair feels dirty in between washes. Minimizing washes will ensure that the scalp stays lubricated. Also use warm to cool water when wetting hair/scalp to lessen the drying affect.

3. 

   Massage Your Scalp
   The massages will promote blood flow to the scalp, hair growth, and will alleviate itching. Use the balls of your fingertips in a circular motion with firm pressure and upward strokes. Avoid scratching or using your nails which can create scalp sores.

4. Eat Healthy & Drinks Lots Of Water!
   Our diet is reflected in our skin, hair, and scalp. Consume foods with essential omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins. Some examples of healthy scalp foods are salmon, flaxseed, nuts, eggs, dark green veggies, avocado, carrots, sweet potatoes, and whole grains.

5. 

   Try Essential Oils
   Tingly, antiseptic, and itch relieving! Tea tree oil and Peppermint oil are great natural oils that stimulate hair growth, a healthier scalp, and relieves itchiness. Simply massage into scalp and allow the tingly sensation to intensify (it's good to mix these oils with jojoba to lesson the intensity).
