What to do against dry scalp?

Dry scalp can be a difficult and sometimes uncomfortable problem. From itching and irritation to red skin and flakes, it's an unpleasant problem. Fortunately, there is something you can do about it! In this blog, we explain what dry scalp is, what you can do about it and which products should not be missing from your daily routine.

What causes dry scalp?

Dry scalp is generally caused by poor hydration or using the wrong products. Drying out the skin and hair follicles results in irritated skin. This can cause the skin to become red and flaky. By moisturising properly, you can prevent irritated skin and flaking.

Another reason why you may suffer from dry scalp is by using the wrong hair care products. Many hair products use harsh ingredients that can irritate your skin. By using scalp treatment products, you can easily combat dry scalp.

Nourish and care for your scalp with an oil

To give your scalp some extra nourishment and hydration, we recommend using a moisturising oil as well. By using an organic oil made of coconut, argan or jojoba, you ensure that your scalp gets extra care without using harsh ingredients.

Some absolute favourites are the Mielle Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil and the Taliah Waajid African Healing Oyl. These oils are based on natural ingredients that moisturise your scalp and provide extra nourishment to your hair. It also provides a protective layer on your hair, making it more resistant to different weather conditions.
