How To Calm Itchy Scalp

An itchy scalp, often from dryness or sensitivity, can be calmed naturally by hydrating skin and reducing irritation. Scalp massages with hydrating oils like coconut oil soothe inflammation, while sulfate-free shampoos prevent further drying. Rinsing with diluted apple cider vinegar restores scalp pH, reducing itch. Foods high in omega-3s, like chia seeds, support skin health, and proper hydration maintains moisture. These natural methods promote scalp comfort without the risks of chemical-based treatments.

  • Massage scalp with coconut oil for 10 minutes weekly.
  • Use sulfate-free shampoos to avoid irritation.
  • Rinse with diluted apple cider vinegar (1:4 ratio).
  • Eat chia seeds for omega-3s to reduce inflammation.
  • Drink 8 glasses of water daily to hydrate scalp.
