5 Easy Fixes for Dry Hair & Scalp

Does your hair feel more like straw than silk? Is your scalp itchy, flaky, or just uncomfortable? Dry hair and scalp can be annoying, but the good news is—there’s usually a fix!


💜 Let’s break it down with 5 simple things you can try:


1. Shampoo Less Often

Washing your hair too much strips it of its natural oils, leaving it dry and dull. Try washing every other day (or even less) to help your scalp retain its moisture.


2. Switch to a Gentle, Moisturizing Shampoo

Not all shampoos are created equal! Some are way too harsh, especially if they contain sulfates. Look for a formula that’s light but hydrating to keep your hair soft and happy.


Great hair starts with the right shampoo and conditioner.

3. Make Sure You’re Using the Right Conditioner

If your conditioner isn’t moisturizing enough, your hair will feel brittle and weak. Go for a deep-conditioning formula and let it soak in for a few minutes before rinsing.


4. Turn Down the Heat (Literally!)

Super hot water might feel amazing, but it’s drying your scalp and stripping your hair of all its natural goodness. Try washing with lukewarm water instead—you’ll notice a difference!


5. If Nothing Works, See a Doctor

Sometimes, a dry scalp isn’t just dryness—it can be a sign of an underlying issue, like eczema or a vitamin deficiency. If you’ve tried everything and nothing helps, it might be time for a check-up.


Need help picking the right products for your hair? I got you! Book an appointment, and let’s get your hair feeling soft, hydrated, and healthy again.
