A quiet and itchy scalp is a common problem, and anyone who has experienced it knows that it can occur at any time of the year.

You will understand why this is important after we take a closer look at the symptoms, causes, and solutions.

Symptoms of dry and itchy scalp

Persistent itching is the most common symptom, as well as the feeling of tight skin. Flaking and dryness of the scalp, which are often mistaken for dandruff, are another common symptom. Your scalp may also be red, patchy, and irritated.

Causes of dry and itchy scalp

Inappropriate hair products – shampoos with harsh ingredients like sulfates and alcohol dry out the scalp. Excessive use of styling products also leads to buildup, which often causes irritation.

Washing hair every day removes the natural oils of the scalp, which also leads to dryness and itching.
The environment – dry air in winter or prolonged sun exposure can dehydrate the scalp and cause irritation.
Insufficient water intake can affect the hydration of the skin, including the scalp.

Stress affects the overall health of the skin, including the scalp, and can increase susceptibility to itching and general irritation.
Skin conditions – dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis; psoriasis and eczema
