An itchy scalp is caused by irritation to the skin on the scalp, and you may be searching for a soothing remedy to create a healthy scalp environment. Fortunately, an itchy scalp can be helped, but as there are many causes of scalp irritation, it's important to know why your scalp it itchy for you to be able to understand how to help your scalp and hair to remain healthy.
Causes of an itchy scalp and using hair oil to help soothe your scalp
An itchy scalp, caused by various factors can be soothed with Harir nourishing hair oil, a special blend formulated with scalp nourishing ingredients. Here are some of the common causes of an itchy scalp and how using hair oil can benefit you, depending on the cause of your scalp irritation.
Scalp Dryness
An itchy scalp can be caused by a variety of lifestyle and styling factors that cause a lack of sufficient moisture in the scalp, which then leads to irritation and itching. If you wash your hair too often you may be disrupting the natural oils on the scalp which help to add moisture to the scalp preventing dryness, but also help to protect the skin on the scalp from environmental factors, and making sure it stays healthy. Other hair habits may disrupt the scalps natural moisture barrier, such as the use of chemical treatments on the hair, sun exposure, and heat styling tools. If you think that these factors may have led to a dry scalp, causing scalp itchiness, it is important to replenish the moisture in the scalp using a hydrating hair oil that has already been lost, so that the scalp can be more hydrated as well as rebuild its natural protective barrier to prevent further irritation and worsening of the itchy skin. Harir hair oil also contains anti-inflammatory properties which can soothe the scalp, reducing both irritation and itching.
Dandruff
Dandruff can form when there is an overgrowth of fungus, causing irritation and flaky skin - leading to itchiness. Harir hair oil contains anti-fungal properties which help to remove the fungus that causes the irritation to the scalp. Hair oil can help to relieve dandruff as it removes the fungus that is responsible for the irritation and itchy scalp, as well as provides nourishment to calm the inflammation and irritation caused by the dandruff and the scratching of the scalp.
Nutrient Deficiency
If your scalp doesn't get enough of the essential nutrients for it to be healthy, it may become irritated and inflamed, which could lead to itchiness. If you are not providing your scalp with essential fatty acids, your scalp may be nutrient deficient causing a damaged scalp, and dry, brittle hair. If your hair doesn't get enough anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory nutrients, it may be less able to combat fungal overgrowth, and less likely to be able to soothe a scalp that has been irritated by fungus, dryness, or external environmental factors - leading to itchiness. When the hair has the correct balance of nutrients it will be able to protect and nourish the hair to prevent some conditions that lead to itchiness. Using hair oil regularly can help to restore and maintain the essential nutrients needed for healthy hair. Harir hair oil is a blend of oils, chosen for their varied properties, ensuring that the hair and scalp is healthy and protected.
