DRY AND ITCHY SCALP?

Causes, treatment & products | MARIA ÅKERBERG

Are you suffering from a dry and flaky scalp, or experiencing persistent itching? Scalp discomfort is common, but with the right products and simple care tips, balance can be restored—leaving your hair healthy and full of vitality.


Why does the scalp become dry?

Common causes of a dry scalp include dehydrating shampoos (especially those with strong sulphates), cold climate, hot styling tools, stress or washing your hair too often and stripping away the skin's natural oils.


Can an oily scalp actually be dry?

Many experience greasy hair – but sometimes it is actually due to dehydration in the scalp. When the moisture balance is disrupted, sebum production can increase as a compensation, which makes the scalp feel oily but at the same time itchy, tight, or flaky.

3 tips for a healthy scalp


Gentle cleaning

Switch to a mild and sulfate-free shampoo that cleans efficienly, without drying out. Hair & Body Shampoo Rosemary gently cleanses and contains Rosemary Oil which helps to balance the scalp and strengthen the hair. It can also be used as a shower gel for the body. 


In this blog we guide you to the right shampoo for your hair type.


Scalp exfoliation

When dead, dry skin cells build up on the scalp, they can be treated much like the skin on your face and body – through exfoliation. Scalp Scrub Intensive combines gentle exfoliating beads with Lactic Acid (AHA) to effectively remove flakes, excess sebum and product buildup.
