How to Stop Dry Scalp Itchiness Naturally

If you have ever suffered from a dry, itchy scalp you will know how distracting and annoying it can be. There are ways to stop it and help your scalp health but first it’s a good idea to figure out why your scalp is itchy in the first place. Normal dandruff for example is caused by fungal infections of the scalp while dry scalp dandruff is caused by an underlying dry skin condition such as eczema or contact dermatitis from irritants or chemicals in hair care products. It can also be caused by stress and sunburn.

If you have tried traditional anti-fungal dandruff products and these do not improve your itchy and flaky scalp, it is most likely dry scalp dandruff and then there are other products that will work much better instead.

There’s a new product on the market for exactly this and it’s Hydrosil Scalp Shield Shampoo. It is a natural shampoo that has been specifically developed for dry and sensitive scalps with proven ingredients that help relive itching, dryness and flaking. It also helps support scalp barrier function – all resulting in a healthy scalp.

The shampoo contains some really interesting ingredients:

• A patented extract of upcycled passion fruit seed which is a natural polyphenol piceatannol with proven antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. I love how passion fruit seeds that would normally just be discarded have a new use!

“The passion fruit seed complex has been proven in trials to soothe sensitive scalps, improve scalp barrier function and improve the scalps natural defenses by replenishing beneficial scalp microbiota and improving scalp hydration.”

• The shampoo also contains a polyfructose extract from chicory root, incorporated in a patented natural prebiotic complex. This has been proven to repair and strengthen scalp barrier function by encouraging the growth of beneficial scalp microbiota, while at the same time inhibiting the growth of none-beneficial microbiota.

• Finally, the shampoo also contains amino acids from rice protein that combined with the fatty acids from coconut create a really creamy, natural lather that gently cleanses the scalp and the hair without drying out or irritating the skin on the scalp.

We’re using this on one of our daughters who has some dry patches on her scalp, and it seems to have calmed down the itchiness and is helping the skin on her scalp recover and heal nicely. It’s a gentle but powerful natural product that works well without causing any problems.

Hydrosil Scalp Shield Shampoo is vegan and FREE from SLS, sulphate, parabens and perfumes and available to buy from hydrosil.co.uk
