Itchy scalp is not just a small, annoying prickle - it’s an itch you can’t simply scratch out that becomes a debilitating concern. Itching, dryness and extreme flaking are just some of the onsets of itchy scalp, which leaves many individuals in discomfort and affects self-esteem.
The concern of itchy scalp may seem unstoppable, but can be treated with a few easy steps. Read on to find out the best way to ease your itchy scalp.
WHAT CAUSES ITCHY SCALP?
Let’s first get to the root of an itchy scalp. If you suffer from it, chances are likely that you have dandruff as well. Dandruff is usually caused by an overgrowth of Malassezia, a yeast-like fungus that grows on the scalp. The scalp gets inflamed when irritants produced by Malassezia penetrates its natural barrier, which leads to the itchiness and flaking linked to dandruff. If you’re under-cleaning your hair, the build-up of oil and dead skin cells can worsen the itch.
SOOTHING YOUR SCALP WITH AN ANTI-DANDRUFF SHAMPOO
If you think your itchy scalp is brought on by dandruff, a good anti-dandruff shampoo is the best place to start. Experts at CLEAR know that, along with Malassezia, a weakened scalp barrier – where the scalp has less lipids and weaker cell integrity – can lead to dandruff.
Try CLEAR’s Dry Scalp & Itch Control Shampoo, which is specially made with an itch-relief formula that works to hydrate the scalp and relieve dryness while providing fast-acting relief from the discomfort triggered by dandruff.
