Dry scalp is a really common problem, but it’s so easy to tackle. Find out how to treat your dry scalp.
Dry scalp feels similar to dry skin elsewhere on the body. You’ll recognize it from an uncomfortably tight sensation. You might even see redness or skin flaking on the scalp.
It’s usually the result of damage to the outer layer of skin cells, letting moisture escape too easily.
Dandruff is one major cause of dry scalp – it disrupts the skin’s natural moisture barrier, making it hard for the cells to retain moisture.
Dandruff is also much more common than you might think – studies show 1 out of every 2 people will experience it.
So treating your scalp for dandruff is often the smartest way to take care of that dry scalp.
