Treating a dry scalp can be tricky and embarrassing, especially if you’re one of those people who gets dandruff. Around half of all adults get it, so you’re certainly not the only one, but obviously you still want an effective, quick solution. 


Why is My Scalp Dry?

A dry or itchy scalp can be the result of a few different things. Dandruff is a common condition, while stress or head lice can also be the cause. Specialist treatments are best for some of these issues, but in many cases you can use Organic Moisturising Serum.

One thing that may be exacerbating your symptoms is heat. If you’re someone who has really hot showers, try to turn the heat down slightly. Overly hot showers can evaporate moisture and dehydrate the scalp.  

It’s important to note that if you have ongoing, serious scalp issues then you should seek specialist assistance. It’s ideal if you can prevent the cause of your dry scalp, but if it’s only a minor issue then Organic Moisturising Serum can make it much easier to deal with.

How Does Organic Moisturising Serum Help My Dry Scalp?

One of the first places people turn when looking to treat dry scalps is to a shampoo or conditioner. A key difference between these products and your Organic Moisturising Serum is that your serum is designed to nourish and hydrate your skin, whereas your shampoo and conditioner are often primarily designed for your hair.

The best approach to dry scalps is finding ways to deliver as much moisture as possible to the skin. Moisture can replenish and nourish your scalp to make it stronger, less itchy and less flaky. 

That’s why your Organic Moisturising Serum is so effective. It’s a concentrated formula with a targeted delivery for maximum effectiveness. It’s also a deeply penetrating moisturiser, so it’s able to get into all levels of the skin, not just the surface. 

How to Treat a Dry Scalp

1. Before you turn to your Organic Moisturising Serum, clean your hair and scalp with an SLS-free shampoo and conditioner. Dry your hair, but leave it slightly damp if possible. 


2. Starting on one side of your head, part your hair so you can easily access your scalp. Or, if your scalp is dry in only one area, part your hair around that area.


3. Apply a couple of drops into the partition between each section and massage it into the scalp. You should massage firmly but gently. 


4. Repeat the process for as many partitions as you need to cover your whole head or affected area. If you have short hair, you’ll need fewer partitions, but if you have longer hair then you’ll need more. 


5. Leave your Organic Moisturising Serum in your hair. It’s a fully natural product that doesn't have any side effects, and as long as you haven’t used too much, it doesn’t need to be washed out. 


Tip: You may find it beneficial to treat your dry scalp in the morning, so you don’t end up with serum on your bedding.
