Got an itchy dry scalp?
I really do hate dealing with an itchy, dry scalp. I have battled with very dry scalp when I was a young girl. As I got older, I started taking better care of my hair’s condition. Now that I am a cosmetology student currently studying the many disorders of hair and skin, many people think that a dry scalp is the cause from dandruff. The answer is it’s not always cause by dandruff, but other reasons as well. The cause of a dry, itchy scalp can be caused by lack of dehydration, dandruff, head lice, shampoo, hair care products, or even scratching.
Ever thought about what may be a good answer for getting rid of dry, itchy scalp? Below is a list of natural remedies to help cure your itchy, dry scalp at home.
- Tea Tree Oil: Known to cure other infections, apply a few drops of this soothing substance onto your hands and gently massage on scalp. Let it sit for 20 minutes before rinsing off. Wash after with a low Ph balanced shampoo.
- Mayonnaise: This may sound very disgusting, but mayonnaise does work. Pour a good amount into your hands and massage on scalp. Mayonnaise does the magic ability of softening, moisturizing, and soothing your hair.
- Lemon: Contains a citric acid that works great on dandruff too. Rub some lemon all over your scalp and let sit for about 20-30 minutes before rinsing off.
- Olive Oil: Mixing this healthy substance with almond oil will help relieve your scalp of over excessive dryness on your scalp. Olive oil is proven to help with the improvement of conditions on our skin.

Something that people should always keep in mind….anti dandruff shampoos do not work. They really don’t. I have personally used them in the past, and they don’t work at all. It made my scalp worse. Avoid all anti-dandruff shampoos. Taking the time to treat your scalp with a natural remedy at home will do the trick. Also….be sure to drink plenty of fresh, clean water! It is strongly advised that we all drink at least 8-9 glasses of water each day or more. So try these brilliant home remedy tricks at home in curing your itchy, dry scalp.
