Dry Itchy Scalp? Here are the Causes and the Best Solution

A dry scalp can feel tight, itchy and sometimes even flaky. Many people think it's always about dandruff – but it's often actually an unbalanced and dehydrated scalp. Here we go over common causes, what you can do about it and which products give the best results for those of you who want a healthy, calm and moisturized scalp.

Common causes of dry scalp

There are several factors that can contribute to a scalp feeling dry or irritated:

• Strong shampoos with sulfates that wash away both dirt and the scalp's own natural oils.

• Cold climate and dry indoor air , especially during winter.

• Stress and hormonal changes that affect the skin's balance.

• Too many styling products that build up residue on the scalp.

When the scalp is not in the right balance, it can feel dry and start to itch – and this also affects the quality of the hair.

How to treat dry scalp

Moisturizing and soothing your scalp is key. Here are three steps that can make a big difference:

1. Switch to a mild, sulfate-free shampoo

Regular shampoos can be too strong. Instead, we recommend a solid shampoo with mild surfactants that cleanse without drying.

👉 Try our popular Color Pop Chamomile Repair Shampoo – a hairdresser's favorite that moisturizes and strengthens the scalp.

👉 Want an even milder version? Try Velvet Chamomile Restore Shampoo , perfect for sensitive and irritated scalp.

Both are completely free of sulfates, silicone and unnecessary additives – and provide a professional feel with natural ingredients.

2. Add a hair base wrap

To restore balance to the scalp, you can supplement with an oil treatment 1–2 times a month.

👉 Our organic evening primrose oil is especially good for dry, tight or itchy scalp. It is massaged into damp scalp (preferably the evening before washing hair) and left to act overnight or for 10-20 minutes - soothing, moisturizing and strengthening the skin barrier.

3. Create a routine that keeps your scalp in balance

• Wash your hair 1-2 times a week, not every day.

• Brush your hair gently before washing to distribute the scalp's natural oils.

• Let your hair air dry whenever possible – heat can make dryness worse.

• Use a conditioner that provides moisture without weighing you down.
