Even the scalp is dry and itchy! These 3 tips will help improve embarrassing scalp problems!

When the season changes, it’s not just dry and itchy skin, even the scalp starts to feel itchy. Unable to resist the urge to scratch, the scalp immediately flakes like snow, gently flicking the whole shoulder and upper body with “snowflakes,” a very embarrassing situation. To improve scalp problems, you must first understand the causes of the scalp, then focus on targeted solutions, only then can healthy hair be nurtured with a healthy scalp!

Scalp problems are generally caused by an imbalance in oil secretion. Being too dry or too oily can also cause scalp issues. Apart from dryness and itching, it is more likely to produce odors and scalp eczema. Failure to improve the situation in a timely manner will further affect hair growth. The sudden changes in temperature during the change of seasons can cause dryness of the scalp, and excessive sebum secretion can block hair follicles. The accumulation of oil and dirt can potentially cause folliculitis problems, and once inflammation occurs, the scalp will itch and flake.

// Maintain scalp stability Point 1: Reduce the number of times you wash your hair //

Although cleanliness is important for improving oiliness and reducing bacteria, it is necessary to adjust the frequency of washing your hair during the changing seasons. Quality over quantity, there is no need to wash your hair daily. Just spend 2 to 3 minutes massaging your scalp with your fingertips each time you wash your hair, avoiding excessive force when scratching. Finally, make sure to thoroughly rinse off all the shampoo to prevent chemical residue from remaining on your scalp.

// Maintain scalp stability Point 2: Pay attention to the temperature of the shampoo //

In addition to the frequency of washing your hair, the water temperature is another devilish detail that can cause scalp issues for everyone. Although a hot water bath in winter has the effect of warming up and relieving fatigue, water that is too hot can irritate the scalp and remove the moisture from the scalp. Keeping the water temperature at 36-38 degrees is the least damaging temperature for the scalp and hair. Even if you want to take a hot bath to warm up, try to shorten the time you spend washing your hair as much as possible.

// Maintain Scalp Stability Point 3: Choose the Right Shampoo //

Choosing the right shampoo is key to improving scalp issues, with a gentle and non-irritating formula being more important than any fragrance or smoothing effect. For oily scalp concerns, you can opt for an oil-control and antibacterial formula, while shampoos with added peppermint can help soothe and relieve itching. Tea tree oil is distilled from the leaves of the white sandalwood tree in southern Australia. Tea tree oil has a fresh aroma, nearly colorless, and can quickly penetrate the skin, helping to address skin issues. Australian Aboriginals use tea tree oil to treat skin, while European explorers use it to brew herbal tea.
