How to Get Rid of a Dry Scalp

Dry, Itchy Scalp

Are you suffering from a dry and itchy scalp? A dry scalp can lead to dandruff and an overall feeling of discomfort. Here are a few tips on how to treat dry scalp.

Instructions

1. Eat a healthy diet. Plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables are necessary to maintain healthy skin. Taking a vitamin E supplement along with meals will also do wonders for your skin and scalp.

2. Avoid washing your hair everyday with shampoo. Washing your hair everyday can over dry your scalp and lead to dry, flaky skin. Instead, wash your hair with shampoo only a few times a week or when needed.

3. Use a moisturizing shampoo specifically designed for treating dry scalp. Head and Shoulders and many other dandruff shampoos contain extra vitamins to help cure dry skin and keep it from becoming an issue.

4. Set your blow dryer to the "warm" or "cool" setting. Hot air tends to dry out and crack the skin on your scalp.

5. Protect your scalp from the sun. Even though most people have a thick head of hair to cover their scalp, harmful UV rays can still damage and dry out your scalp. Covering your head with a hat on a sunny day can help protect your scalp from drying out.
