Natural treatments for an itchy, flaky scalp prioritize balancing the scalp’s ecosystem and reducing irritation. Diluted tea tree oil massages combat fungal overgrowth, a common cause of flaking. A diet high in zinc from nuts supports skin repair, minimizing itchiness. Apple cider vinegar rinses restore pH balance, reducing flakes. Avoiding synthetic fragrances in hair products prevents further irritation. These holistic approaches address root causes, offering long-term relief compared to chemical shampoos that may dry the scalp further.
