10 Soothing Products That Work Magic on a Dry, Itchy Scalp
In winter, a lot of our time is taken up by liberally applying moisturizer to our skin. But are you paying equal attention to your dry, itchy scalp? These are the best dry scalp treatments and products for a healthy scalp.
This leave-in scalp treatment does exactly what it promises: It restores the scalp's microbiome with a hyaluronic acid-rich formula to kick itchiness, flakes and general scalp irritation to the curb. Massage the product on clean, damp hair and let it work its magic.
A healthy scalp (and life) is all about balance. This shampoo takes care of dryness with its organic oat and mustard seed formula. Just a dime-size amount will calm scalp irritation and promote a gorgeous mane. And it doesn't contain silicone, SLS, SLES, perfume, color, petrochemicals or parabens — all of which are potentially irritating to dry scalps.
There's a mask for almost every body part, including the scalp. This luxurious version utilizes Omorovicza's Hungarian moor mud to detoxify plus menthol and camphor to provide relief from irritating itchiness. The pre-shampoo treatment restores the scalp and leaves hair noticeably softer.
One of our favorite skin care ingredients, salicylic acid, makes a surprise appearance in this nourishing shampoo. The ingredient helps dislodge flakes from the scalp so wheat protein can strengthen hair. The formula also reduces uncomfortable tightness and irritation. Those with dyed strands don't have to worry — it's suitable for color-treated hair.
A scalp scrub can be a game changer, but the wrong one can make dryness worse. This gentle exfoliator has a sugar complex that ensures the scalp retains moisture as buildup is swept away. The soothing formula is gentle enough that it can be used on sensitive scalps once per week.
