Itchy Scalp After Washing

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010

An itchy scalp generally comes from hair product build-up, cold dry air and chemicals from perms and hair dye. Here are advice on soothing that annoying itch as well as methods to prevent it.

Turn down the heat. Heat dries out the scalp just like some other part of the skin. Turn down the lake temperature when washing hair and turn down the blow dryer when drying it. Don’t aim the hair dryer directly at your scalp, which dries it out further.

Rinsing your hair once every seven days in apple cider vinegar will balance the Ph level of your hair, which can cause your scalp to itch. Simply pour 1/4 cup of vinegar over your hair and massage it into your scalp, then rinse it with warm water.

Produce a once a week hair treatment that smells wonderful and keeps itchy scalp away by combining 1/2 cup water with three drops of each of the essential oils of chamomile, rosemary, tea tree, peppermint and lavender. After washing your hair using a moisturizing shampoo, massage conditioner into your scalp and rinse. Pour the water and oil mixture over your hair and let it sit two minutes before rinsing.
