Scalp Care!

---

There are many different type of scalp problem and causes of these problems. The most common we find with our clients are dry scalp and itchy scalp. 

Dry scalp occurs when the skin loses water too quickly. A person with dry skin on the scalp may notice:

• patches of itchy or scaly skin
• flaky skin with a rough texture
• skin that stings or burns
• peeling skin
• itchy skin

Itchy scalp is not always related to an underlying condition. It may be caused by:

• Dry scalp
• Dirt and sweat
• Reaction to a product such as hair dye
• Stress or anxiety

You can manage both dry scalp and itchy scalp at home. 

• Cut down on shampooing and co wash with conditioner to keep the scalp hydrated
• Avoid products with strong perfumes 
• Brush your scalp well before washing or co washing. This will loosen an dry skin that could cause irritation 
• Drink plenty of water
• Wash hair in cool or warm water rather than hot
• Do regular scalp detox treatments by simply mixing a tablespoon of coarse raw sugar with conditioner and give your scalp a good exfoliate.
