Soothe a dry, itchy scalp: 5 easy expert solutions


What to look for
* An itchy, red scalp after coloring hair or using hot tools.
* Small powdery flakes These are telltale signs that your scalp is dry, as opposed to having dandruff, which is triggered by a fungus and results in white, oily clumps.
Simple solutions
These easy steps will help ease the itch, fast:
* Avoid scratching. It's irritating and can cause hair breakage.
* Use a moisturizing shampoo. Look for ingredients that help lock in moisture, such as sea-buckthorn oil, found in Aveda Scalp Benefits Balancing Shampoo ($12; aveda.com).
* Gently massage conditioner into your scalp after every shampoo to hydrate it and lift away some of the flakes.
* Lather up with clarifying shampoo weekly. These deep-cleaning formulas rid hair of product buildup and help loosen dead skin cells on the scalp.
* Turn down the heat. Hot water can zap natural oils from your scalp, making it ultra dry and sensitive; also choose the lowest heat setting on your blowdryer.
EXPERT STRATEGY If these tips don't alleviate the problem in four weeks, see a dermatologist.
