Itchy Scalp? Here’s how to fix it.
I’ve noticed that an itchy scalp is quite common, especially in the winter. There are many reasons you scalp may be itchy, and here are just a few of the common causes that I’ve noticed.
Dandruff : This is one of the most common causes. You might notice flaky, white scales on the scalp and can be itchy.
Dry Scalp: A lack of moisture in the scalp can lead to itching. It can be caused by cold weather, using harsh shampoos, or not drinking enough water.
Psoriasis: This is a chronic skin condition that can affect the scalp, causing red, scaly patches and itching.
Eczema: Also known as atopic dermatitis, eczema can affect the scalp and cause redness, itching, and sometimes weeping sores.
Allergies: Some people may be allergic to certain ingredients in hair care products, including shampoos, conditioners, or styling products.
Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations, such as those that occur during pregnancy or menopause, can impact the health of your scalp.
Excessive Washing: Overwashing your hair can strip away natural oils, causing dryness and itchiness.
By far, the best product I have come across for this is Maria Nila Heal Shampoo and conditioner. The results I have seen with this for dry scalp is phenomenal.
If you try this, and the itching persists or worsens, or if you notice other concerning symptoms, it's important to consult a healthcare professional or dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. They can provide tailored advice and, if necessary, prescribe medications or recommend specific treatments to alleviate the itching.
