Here Are 5 Easy Ways To Care For Dry Hair And Scalp
Written by Urvi DalalSep 07, 2019
Dry hair and scalp are characterised by flakiness and frizzy hair respectively. Persistently itchy scalp, soreness, dandruff, and hair that looks unruly no matter what you do, are some of the common problems that people with the combination of dry scalp and dry hair have to deal with.
But we have some good news for you! You don’t have to live with this discomfort all your life because we have discovered some simple ways in which you can overcome this problem...
One of the main causes of dry hair and scalp could be using harsh shampoos. If you have a dry scalp coupled with dry ends, use a moisturising formula that is gentle on the scalp and does not further dry out your hair and scalp.
Limit your hair washes
Another great tip to care of a dry scalp and hair is to limit the number of times you wash your hair. Shampoo your hair a maximum of 2 to 3 times a week using lukewarm water because frequent washing and hot water can further dry out your hair and your scalp.
Deep conditioning treatments
For someone with dry scalp and hair, deep conditioning hair treatments prove to be super helpful. Apart from using a hydrating conditioner after each wash, you can also fight hair dryness and damage by using hair masks. Hair masks help moisturise, nourish and condition your scalp and hair and prevent strands from appearing dull and frizzy.
Hot oil massages
Dry scalp and hair often lead to flakiness and dandruff. To help thoroughly hydrate and condition your scalp, you can indulge your tresses in a super nourishing hot oil massage. A head massage helps stimulate the scalp, moisturises it and promotes healthy hair growth.
Eat healthy
The kind of food you eat has a major impact on the health of your scalp and hair. Eating food with high sugar content has a drying effect on the scalp, thus causing flakiness. Additionally, it is important to drink a lot of water to keep your scalp and hair hydrated. This is a great way to ensure that your scalp and hair stay naturally moisturised.
