Are you one that suffers from itchy scalp, and cannot for the life of you thick what causes this to happen. Well you are not alone on this one, I can say that majority of us is going though this!
What causes itchy scalp?
Dandruff is basically dead skin sells that sheds from the scalp, this is where you will experience flakes but should experience small amounts of this. When your hair flakes small amounts, this is considered normal but for some people, they may experience large amounts of flaking due to chronic conditions or it could result from certain triggers that will be associated with redness and irritation.
Itchy scalp and the severity of dandruff can result from season changes and can be worst in the winter season, What causes this affect to happen is when you shampoo your hair too often, or you are sensitive to hair care products, using to many products in your hair can cause build up and itchy scalp, but the most common cause of flaking is dry skin.
Dry scalp is caused by hormonal changes, unhealthy dietary pattern and Vitamin E deficiency, but remember that there is no single cause to dry scalp, as this may differ from person to person.
When the oils from your scalp has been removed it will make your hair dry and flyaway, why? Because it is lacking sufficient lubricating oils, therefore, hair will have no shine at all, you will experience dullness.
Harsh hair products or shampoos are formulated with sodium laurel sulfate (SLS), this is used to create the bubbles and lather when you wash your hair. You will find that these types of products are inexpensive to buy, however, it is harsh for your hair and will strip the oils from your scalp, It can cause irritation and cause dryness to the scalp and hair. Many may experience a reaction, causing the scalp to be itchy and very irritated

Check your products and eliminate any that contains alcohol, alcohol is a dying agent and will cause your scalp to itch!
