What Is Dry Scalp?
Dry scalp is a really common problem, but what exactly is it and how can you treat it?
Damage to the outer layer of skin cells on the scalp is normally the cause of dry scalp, as this lets essential moisture escape easily.
Dandruff is a key cause of dry scalp – it disrupts the moisture barrier, making it hard for the cells to retain moisture, leading to a dry, tight and often itchy feeling.
There are plenty of other factors that can make a dry scalp worse too, from heat styling to hot showers.

Dry scalp shampoo not working?
If after using Head & Shoulders exclusively for 3 weeks you see no improvement, consult a dermatologist, as your dry scalp could be caused by something other than dandruff.
