The first step in treating dry scalp is to determine the root cause of your condition. Once you have determined the cause, it will be easier for you to treat it properly. When washing your hair, you must wash your hair with a mild shampoo and avoid using any hot water. It is recommended to use either a natural or organic shampoo because they are specially designed to hydrate your scalp. If you suffer from dandruff, make sure that you wash your hair with shampoo specifically designed for dandruff.

When choosing the best anti-dandruff shampoo for your dry scalp, it is important that you choose one that contains ingredients such as aloe vera, tea tree oil, lavender, chamomile, sesame, and green tea. The aloe vera is a very popular ingredient of many anti-dandruff shampoos because it acts as a vasolidator which increases the amount of blood flow to the scalp and encourages cellular oxygenation. It also prevents skin cells from turnover and prevents itching sensation. Tea tree oil is also very effective in curing dandruff and acts as an anti-bacterial agent. Chamomile and sesame are also effective ingredients of many anti-dandruff shampoos but they are available only in capsule form.

You may also get sudden itchy rash while using certain products on your dry scalp. Although this can be alarming, you have no need to panic. The rash is usually caused by irritation of your scalp, which will help you prevent excessive dryness. The itchy sensation is a defense mechanism of your body when your skin becomes hypersensitive due to irritation. The best way of treating this problem is to find the cause of the irritation.

It is quite common for people suffering from seborrheic dermatitis to suffer from itching, flaking, and redness in the scalp.

Other causes of dry scalp and itchy scalp include dandruff, excessive oil production due to skin conditions like eczema and seborrheic dermatitis and hormonal changes during puberty and pregnancy.

Although most dandruff cases are caused by stress, excessive use of hair products containing chemicals can result in dry scalp and itchy scalp as well.
