Why Your Scalp Feels Dry
A dry scalp can show up as flaking, itching, tightness, or irritation. While it’s often mistaken for dandruff, true dryness is actually a sign that your moisture barrier is compromised. Your scalp can’t hold onto hydration, leaving it vulnerable and uncomfortable.
What Causes a Dry Scalp?
Many factors can dehydrate your scalp, even if you’re doing “everything right.”
Here’s what to watch for:
- Over-cleansing: Using harsh shampoos or washing too often removes essential oils.
- I’ve Hot showers: Heat can strip natural moisture from both scalp and strands.
- Climate changes: Cold weather and low humidity increase dryness.
- Ingredients: Sulfates, alcohols, and strong fragrances can irritate sensitive skin.
- Internal dehydration: Not drinking enough water or consuming healthy fats affects scalp health too.
How to Rehydrate and Restore Balance
Just like your skin, your scalp needs a consistent balance of hydration and nourishment.
Here are a few expert tips:
- Switch to a gentle, hydrating shampoo and conditioner.
- Incorporate a light scalp oil or mask 1–2 times a week.
- Add a humidifier to your space to combat dryness.
- Stay hydrated and add omega-rich foods (like salmon, flaxseed, or avocado) to your diet.
