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.
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.
Get good scalp and hair days with this balancing treatment. Divide hair into sections, then apply a couple of drops of the argan oil product. Massage the treatment into the scalp and leave on for 5 to 10 minutes so it can moisturize strands from top to bottom.
Is a dry, flaky scalp impacting your life? Soothe it with a multistep approach. Nioxin's three-step scalp recovery kit has shampoo, conditioner and a soothing serum. Each one has pyrithione zinc and green tea polyphenols to get that angry scalp under control. Say goodbye to flakes and dryness.
