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.
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.
A toner for somewhere besides the face? Yup. After shampooing, apply the water-based toner to lightly towel-dried hair. The multitasking formula is mildly astringent to fight off bacteria and manage excess oil. It also increases blood circulation and rehydrates.
