Men's scalps are different from women. For instance, women's scalps produce less sebum than men. This, along with heat-styling and frequent use of various hairstyling products, can cause your scalp to become dry. Symptoms can include itching, irritation and dry hair due to the lack of oil from the scalp.
Having a dry scalp can be troubling, but don't worry, there are a number of dry scalp remedies that you can do even at home, and these can help revive your hair and scalp!
- 1
Stay Hydrated
Drinking enough water throughout the day can do wonders for your scalp. When your scalp is dry and dehydrated, it can lead to more serious issues like itchiness and dandruff. Whilst the general rule is to drink six to eight glasses of water every day, the actual amount can vary depending on your level of activity and climate.

Massage Your Scalp
You can massage your scalp as you shampoo your hair or when waiting for a few minutes before rinsing out the conditioner. This helps moisturisers to penetrate your scalp and increase the blood flow on your scalp. As a result, hair strands receive more nutrients that can promote better hair health and growth.

Use the Appropriate Shampoo and Conditioner
Choose a shampoo that keeps your scalp clean and fresh, like CLEAR Ice Cool Menthol Shampoo. It cleanses your hair and scalp and gets rid of all the grease and grime without drying them out. Combining the Triple Anti-Dandruff formula with vitamin B3, it helps strengthen your scalp's surface for better dandruff protection. Using this shampoo leaves you with a refreshing cooling sensation, which is perfect for tropical climates.

Adjust Your Air Conditioning Settings
It's tempting to have your air conditioner on the coolest setting when the weather is hot and humid. However, this causes a dry scalp because it removes moisture from the air. Keep your scalp from drying out by setting your air conditioning at a comfortable room temperature. Also, remember to schedule regular maintenance for your air conditioner every few months. This will help prevent mould and bacteria from being circulated throughout the room.
