Hair Styling Tip - Itchy Scalp and Dandruff Help

Itchy Scalp
It itches. You scratch it. Aaaahh, that’s better. Then it itches again. What to do?????

Is it dandruff? Could be, even it there aren’t any flakes. So try an anti-dandruff shampoo first to see if that solves it. Give it a few weeks to work. If there’s no improvement, time to see a dermatologist. It could be a simple and mild allergic reaction to certain hair products or something hormonal. Or, if your scalp is red and scaly, you could have seborrheic dermatitis which is a reaction to yeast on the scalp. Don’t fret though – your dermatologist can clean that up easily.


After Dandruff Repair
Hip-hip-hooray! Your dandruff is finally gone. But now look – your hair is dried-out and has lost its luster.

Dandruff shampoos can dry out your hair, especially if your hair is already chemically-colored or straightened. That’s because while removing dandruff, dandruff shampoos also remove the oils and conditioning agents that create lustrous hair. You need to add some conditioning back to your hair gradually so as not to reintroduce the dandruff.

First, use conditioning products that are meant for fine hair. Fine hair doesn’t require heavy conditioning, so those conditioning products will be light on your hair. Don’t apply the conditioning to or near your scalp - that will essentially cover your scalp and create dandruff problems. Instead, apply the conditioning to the ends of your hair strands. If you start to experience itching or flakes, go back to the dandruff shampoo and deep condition your hair every few weeks.
