Question: How can I soothe my itchy scalp throughout the winter months?

Answer: Dealing with a dry, flaky scalp in winter is a common issue due to the cold, dry air. Here are some tips to help soothe and alleviate the discomfort:

  • Avoid shampoos with harsh chemicals, sulfates, or alcohol, as they can further dry out the scalp.

  • Washing your hair too frequently can strip away natural oils, exacerbating dryness. Try to limit shampooing to 2-3 times a week, But make sure it’s a double wash when you do.

  • Hot water can contribute to dryness, so use lukewarm water when washing your hair.

  • Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated from the inside out, promoting overall skin health, including the scalp.

  • And lastly, consider adding our specialized scalp detox treatment to soothe and hydrate the scalp on your next appointment.
