What Causes Dry Scalp, and How Can It Be Treated Naturally? - #15862
For the past few weeks, I’ve been struggling with dry scalp, and no matter what shampoo I use, it doesn’t seem to go away. Now I’m wondering—what exactly causes dry scalp, and how can it be treated naturally? From what I understand, dry scalp can happen due to weather changes, dehydration, or harsh hair products. But can it also be caused by conditions like dandruff, eczema, or fungal infections? How do I differentiate between normal dryness and an underlying scalp condition? I also read that using too much shampoo or hot water can strip the scalp of natural oils, making dry scalp worse. What are the best ways to restore moisture and keep the scalp healthy without making hair greasy? Since I prefer natural remedies, I looked into Ayurveda’s perspective on dry scalp and hair care. Are there Ayurvedic oils, herbs, or home treatments that can help hydrate the scalp naturally? I found that coconut oil, amla, and aloe vera are often recommended—do these actually help in treating dry scalp and preventing flakiness? For those who have dealt with dry scalp, what worked best for you? Did changing shampoos, using home remedies, or Ayurvedic treatments provide the most relief? I’d love to hear real experiences on managing dry scalp effectively.
