How to Treat and Prevent Dry Itchy Scalp at Home

Instructions

[1] If your normal shampoo is not helping to heal your irritated, dry scalp, switch to one that will. There are several out there. Use a shampoo for dry and itchy scalp. These types of shampoos are a little stronger than your daily shampoo, so be sure to follow up with a good moisturizing shampoo.

[2] While shampooing, massage your scalp for a few minutes with the pads of your finger tips. Avoid vigorously scrubbing your scalp and scratching with your finger nails. This could cause infection and make the issue worse. Also, avoid piling different products on your scalp. This could clog your pores causing more itching, thus causing more dryness.

[3] Use tea tree oil to massage your scalp. This is a natural oil that usually comes in a small bottle. It is very potent so you should use only a tiny bit. Tea Tree oil is an anti fungal oil. It is very effective in treating dry and itchy scalp and preventing infection by killing bacteria. Before you shampoo your hair, take a dab of this oil and massage it on your scalp for no more than 10 minutes. Then proceed to wash your hair as normal.
