Itchy Scalp

Usually dryness is the reason of an itchy scalp and change of weather aggravates it, but it is easy to fix. With keeping it clean and moisturized you can stop the itchiness, promote hair growth and the health of the scalp.

Don’t scratch your head as it makes the hair weak and causes hair breakage. Our body has to fight everyday with the bacteria’s to stay healthy. Pollution, stress, unhealthy habits aggravate it. You need to maintain good hygiene by cleaning it regularly but don’t use too much of shampoo. A little dab can clean your hair well. Using too much of shampoo not only leaves the hair dry but it can leave a soapy residue that can cause scalp irritation.

Some skins are allergic to certain chemicals in the shampoo and other hair products. You can avoid them by not using them or by changing the brand. Using too many products on the scalp, especially Greece and petroleum filled can also cause itchiness.

Avoid hot water bath, it robs the hair from its natural oils and moisturizers, making it dry and brittle. You should also avoid sitting in a very warm room or taking sona baths. Even when you go out in the sun cover your hair with a scarf or a hat to protect it from harsh ultra violet rays. Using sunscreen for hair is also very beneficial. It is best to let your hair dry naturally but in case you need to use drier then choose the lowest heat setting.

Even after four weeks of taking all the precautions you don’t see any difference then see your dermatologist. You may be suffering from some fungal infection, eczema or scalp acne.  All these problems are treatable by using anti fungal creams and shampoo. Look for non toxic and natural treatments.
