Goodbye, #ScalpPsoriasis.
But what causes dry and itchy scalps?
Dandrufftends to be more prevalent in the winter months for many reasons.
Wearing hats creates a lovely environment for bacteria and fungus to grow, saystrichologist Stephanie Sey.
For dandruff, this is a misnomer as they condition is an oily one.
Common haircare concerns include thinning, flakiness, dryness, itchiness, dehydration, and even hair loss.
One area thats often overlooked and forgotten is scalp health, says renowned hairdresserMichael Van Clarke.
Like the skin, elsewhere it can become clogged and dull.
Even more so if an excess of harsh hair products are used.
Often not designed for skin, these products seep down, build up and easily clog the hair follicles.
Combined with poor diet and lack of exercise, it can lead to some chronic scalp and hair conditions.
Seyagrees and says stress can also add to the problem.
Stress can increase your cortisol levels and this can cause an oilier scalp, she says.
Unsurprisingly, yourdiet and lifestyle is key, too.
Scalp and hair health are a great indicator of overall wellness, Van Clarke continues.
Most people suffer occasional dry scalp.
If these are allowed to develop, it can lead to weaker, thinner hair growth.
If, like me, you are struggling with a dry and itchy scalp, worry not.
There are plenty of treatments available from oils and masks that can remedy a suffering scalp.
And they wont break the bank either.
