Caring for a dry scalp

Depending on your own care habits, bathing too often, long sessions with the hair-dryer, hairstyling products, dye and bleach can all cause additional irritations to a dry scalp. It is therefore all the more important for those with extremely dry skin to use the right shampoo for cleansing hair and the scalp.

The wrong shampoo:
Believing that an anti-dandruff shampoo can help an extremely dry or flaky scalp is unfortunately often wrong. In fact, these products can often cause more damage to the skin and increase the sensations of stinging and itchiness.


The right shampoo:
A suitable shampoo will not dry out the scalp further. The scalp and hair should be cleansed gently, for example, with Linola Shampoo.

In addition, take care not to shower or bathe in water that is too hot because this places extra stress on the skin and hair. The ideal temperature is between 32°C and 36°C.

Dry Scalp

If the scalp is dry, itchy, stinging or even scaly, this may have various causes.

Such scalp problems could be caused by external influences. For instance, the weather can affect the scalp. In winter, these would be the cold air outside and the dry, heated air inside. In summer, the hot, dry air is compounded by the effects of the sun. Even regularly swimming in chlorinated water can dry out the scalp.
