Natural Remedies for Dry Scalp  
TIPS 

Tags: dry scalp, natural remedies

A lot of commercial products for treating dry scalp contain chemicals and irritants that can actually worsen the problem. These are some natural remedies that may be more effective.

	Brush hair regularly - increases blood flow to scalp and distributes natural oils.
	Shampoo no more than once a day - excessive washing dries out the scalp more and strips hair of its natural oils.
	Use cooler water when washing hair as hot water can actually dehydrate hair.
	A few drops of an essential oil, like Jojoba oil, can break up flakes during washing.
	Lime or lemon juice also breaks up accumulated flakes, reducing itching.
	Boiling thyme and pouring the water over hair (without rinsing it out the same day) is rumored to destroy flakes because of the antiseptic properties of thyme.
	Stress plays a big role in blood circulation, including to the scalp, so do what you can to keep calm!
	Diet plays a role in the production of oils in your hair, so have a good amount of healthy fatty acids to keep your scalp naturally hydrated.
