Dry Itchy Scalp
There are many contributing causes to dry itchy scalp. Â Dandruff is one of the most common ailments for people in everyday life, and dry scalp contributes to that problem. Â You might also get a dry scalp from cold windy weather, dry air or low humidity, or chemicals on your scalp. Â Some shampoos are so harsh that they can wreak havoc on your sensitive scalp. Â Dying your hair or bleaching your hair is the worst! Â I know, we all love to have our hair a vibrant youthful glow (including me), so here is my solution to the dry scalp problem.
I have had the worst dry itchy scalp lately. The dry weather plus chemically processing/dying your hair
has taken a toll on my poor scalp. Put a quarter sized dollop of shampoo (preferably a natural one, I use Suave Naturals) in your hand and add 3 drops of cedarwood oil and 4 drops of lavender oil. Mix with your finger and massage into hair and scalp and let it sit for 1 minute. Rinse out normally. After doing this, my scalp feels so much relief!  My hair smells rather lovely too!  You’ll get a mini aromatherapy session from sitting and smelling the luxurious lather while it is soaking in and working its magic on your crown.
I went from scratching my head so much my scalp was inflamed to having instant calming soothing relief. Â I encourage you to try this method to naturally relieve your itchy dry scalp. Â You will love the smell and the soft shininess your hair will have after this process too.
Lavender oil also:
promotes feelings of relaxation and has a soothing calming effect emotionally as well as on your skin. My tip for you would be to use this method in the evening before going to sleep. Â Deeply inhale as the oils soak in and enjoy the aroma of the lavender and cedarwood. Â These oils both will calm you and should promote restful sleep.
Cedarwood oil also:
opens the respiratory system and promotes calm sleep. Â As you wait for the oils to work their magic, deeply inhale and take in these aromas. Â The essences of these oils should open you up and promote relaxation. Â If you perform this method near bedtime, you should easily drift into peaceful sleep as an added bonus.
