How Do I Stop My Scalp From Itching in the Winter
Winter scalp itching is common due to dry air and cold temperatures. Here are some tips to relieve and prevent it:
-
Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner
Use products with hydrating ingredients like aloe vera, glycerin, or argan oil. -
Limit Hot Water
Avoid washing your hair with very hot water, as it strips natural oils. Use lukewarm water instead.
Apply scalp oils or treatments containing tea tree oil, coconut oil, or salicylic acid to soothe and moisturize.
-
Humidifier Use
Run a humidifier in your home to maintain moisture in the air.
Avoid overwashing and use sulfate-free products to prevent drying out your scalp.
-
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water to keep your body and scalp hydrated from the inside. -
Exfoliate Your Scalp
Use a gentle exfoliating scrub to remove buildup and promote healthy skin. -
Avoid Irritants
Minimize the use of styling products or tools that can irritate the scalp.
