Tips for treating itchy scalp

There are many tips for treating itchy scalp. Some people have symptoms of itchy scalp but don’t know what causes it? When you suffer from certain diseases, such as folliculitis, eczema, etc., it is easy to cause this symptom. Sometimes this symptom will also occur if the quality of the shampoo is poor or you have an allergic reaction to the shampoo. Let us learn some tips on treating itchy scalp.

1. I believe many friends will have this experience, that is, the more they scratch, the more itchy it becomes, especially after scratching very hard with their nails. Although there will be some relief for a few seconds, it will become even worse afterwards. So if your scalp itches, don't scratch it with your fingernails, use the pads of your fingers. Cut your nails short, exposing your fingertips, and use massage to relieve itching and calm you down.

2. Don’t wash your hair too frequently, because there is a layer of self-protection substance on the surface of the scalp and hair. If you wash your hair every day, the protective layer will be destroyed and the scalp will naturally become dry and itchy. Generally speaking, if sweating is not severe and hair is not easily dirty, washing it once or twice a week is most appropriate.

3. Everyone's hair quality is different, so you should choose the shampoo that suits you best. The water temperature should not be too hot when washing your hair, otherwise it will easily damage the oil of the scalp and hair, causing moisture loss and becoming dry and itchy. Be sure to rinse off the shampoo completely at the end, otherwise the shampoo remaining on the scalp will make the scalp itchy and uncomfortable.

4. When the sunlight outside is strong, be careful to avoid direct exposure of your head to the sun, wear a hat, etc. In addition, you should avoid eating irritating or spicy foods, and be careful not to smoke or drink, etc., to avoid irritation to the scalp and itching.

5. Do not dye your hair or try to avoid dyeing your hair as much as possible. Inferior dyes will not only make your hair dry and brittle, but will also damage your scalp, clog hair follicles and cause itching.

6. If the itching is severe and accompanied by a large amount of dandruff, and it cannot be improved even if you pay attention to personal details, then it is likely a fungal infection and you need to go to the hospital to get some medication.

Any tips for itchy scalp?

Scalp itching is a problem for many people. So, what are some tips for dealing with scalp itching?

1. Beer

For beer lovers, this may seem a bit wasteful. However, many people have tried rubbing their hair with beer every week or two, and the effect is quite good. Not only can it protect hair, but it can also promote hair growth.

When using, wash and dry your hair first, then apply 1/8 of the entire bottle of beer evenly on your hair, and do some hand massage to allow the beer to penetrate the roots of your hair. After 15 minutes, wash your hair with clean water and comb it with a wooden comb or horn comb. The effective nutrients in beer have a good therapeutic effect on preventing hair from drying out and falling out, and can also make hair shiny.

2. Baking soda

First of all, baking soda is a food-grade material. It can be eaten and can also be used for washing hair. It is one of the natural substitutes for shampoo. Its chemical name is sodium bicarbonate, which is an acid salt formed by the neutralization of strong alkali and weak acid. It is weakly alkaline when dissolved in water. Weakly alkaline solutions have strong grease removal ability and can relieve symptoms of itchy scalp.

If you use baking soda, the ratio of baking soda to water is generally 1:2, that is, 500ml of water with 25g of baking soda (about two teaspoons). Be careful not to make the water temperature too high, otherwise the baking soda will decompose. Once it is prepared, stir it evenly to allow the aqueous solution to fully contact the hair and scalp, and gently massage the scalp with your hands for 1 minute, then rinse it clean.

3. Coconut Oil

Most of the components of coconut oil are saturated fatty acid esters. Its skin-sealing effect is similar to that of vaseline and mineral oil. It can reduce water loss through the epidermis and play a moisturizing role. As a moisturizer, coconut oil is still acceptable.

When using coconut oil for hair care, the hair can easily absorb nutrients, penetrate deeply into the hair, moisturize the scalp, and make the hair shiny, soft and elastic. It can also solve the problems of excessive oil production and dandruff in oily hair.

4. Chrysanthemum leaves

Take about 40 chrysanthemum leaves, wash them clean and put them into the pot, add appropriate amount of water and boil them until they become green juice, then let them cool. Then use. To use, wash your hair and scalp directly with it and massage it in for a while.

Chrysanthemum leaves contain special essential oil ingredients that can effectively inhibit the production of dandruff. It is particularly suitable for treating excessive dandruff caused by wind-heat in the liver meridian. If you have symptoms such as dry eyes, itchy scalp, and dandruff, you might want to give it a try.

Of course, if the itching is severe and many methods have not worked, you still need to seek help from a doctor, go to a regular hospital for examination, find out the cause, and then treat it symptomatically.
