How To Soothe Itchy Scalp

An itchy scalp, often caused by dryness or irritation, can be soothed naturally by reducing inflammation and hydrating skin. Scalp massages with natural oils like jojoba improve circulation and moisture, while sulfate-free shampoos prevent stripping natural oils. Diluted apple cider vinegar rinses balance scalp pH, reducing itch. Omega-3-rich foods, such as flaxseeds, support skin health, and drinking water maintains hydration. These methods promote scalp comfort and health without the side effects of medicated shampoos.

  • Massage scalp with jojoba oil for 10 minutes weekly.
  • Use sulfate-free shampoos to retain scalp moisture.
  • Rinse with diluted apple cider vinegar (1:4 ratio).
  • Eat flaxseeds for omega-3s to calm inflammation.
  • Drink 8-10 glasses of water daily for hydration.
