3 Natural Home Remedies For a Dry Scalp

When your scalp is dry it can feel tight and itchy. The dandruff often associated with dry scalp appears not only in your hair but falls onto your clothes making you hesitate before wearing a dark-colored shirt. Here are some natural remedies that will help you get rid of that dry scalp for good.

Apple Cider Vinegar

12 OUNCES EQUALS

Rinse your scalp with apple cider vinegar. This vinegar will help restore the pH of your scalp. Just mix equal parts water and vinegar. Pour the mixture over your head and massage it into your scalp. Leave it on your head for about fifteen minutes before rinsing it out. Don't worry about smelling of vinegar. Once your hair is dry the vinegar smell will go away. You can do this once or twice a week to relieve itchiness and keep the amount of flakes you have down.

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is a great moisturizer and can be used on a dry scalp. Apply about 1/2 a teaspoon of oil to your scalp when you get out of the shower. Massaging the oil into your scalp will help it soak in. You can do this daily. You may have to experiment with the amount of oil you use. You need to get enough oil on your scalp to moisturize it without your hair looking greasy.

Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree oil can also help soothe a dry scalp. You can purchase a tea tree oil shampoo from your local health food store. If you have tea tree essential oil at home you can also make your own tea tree oil shampoo. Simply add 2 drops of tea tree oil per fluid ounce of the shampoo you normally use. Use it as often as you wash you hair to help relieve dryness.
