Itchy, dry scalp, often caused by harsh shampoos or dehydration, can be treated naturally by restoring moisture and soothing irritation. Scalp massages with coconut oil hydrate skin, while sulfate-free shampoos prevent further drying. Diluted apple cider vinegar rinses balance scalp pH, reducing flaking and itch. Foods rich in omega-3s, like walnuts, support skin health, and drinking water maintains hydration. These approaches promote a healthy scalp without chemical side effects.
