My scalp is so dry and irritated, but my hair is oily. Any suggestions for shampoo and conditioner?

Question

I’ve noticed breakage too lately. My hair just hasn’t been the same since pregnancy 3 years ago. 😢

Answer

Get a scalp treatment😊 I’m cosmetologist and that’s what we recommend. Also change your shampoo to one that doesn’t have a bunch of oils and condition your hair ends and you can work the conditioner up your hair from ends up but don’t put on your scalp since it can just make it oily again. Also if you over wash your hair like everyday that causes your skin on your scalp to produce more sebum oil than needed leading to oily/greasy hair. So don’t wash it as often and use dry shampoo while it’s regulating to the new norm of not being washed as often.

Answer

I use Monat. My husband suffers really bad itchy dandruff scalp and i switched him to Monat and after 2 washes and an oil treatment his dandruff and itchy scalp is gone. And we’ve tried doctor ordered stuff salon and head and shoulders and nothing touched it.

Answer

Shampoo only your scalp, and only put conditioner on your ends. Use a wide tooth comb or pick, and don’t wash everyday.

Answer

Mine was really bad too use Biolage anti dandruff shampoo works like a charm

Answer

You can try a scalp treatment like Scalpacin (CVS has a generic that's $4 cheaper and works just as well). It helps with the itching but doesn't make it greasy. You could also try a psoriasis shampoo, I found that it helped me a lot whereas Head & Shoulders made my hair more oily. I still have some flakes but not as bad and the itching has pretty much stopped. You could also try making a scalp treatment. Aloe, avocado, and egg whites are supposed to be good for hair and scalp. I've never tried it though.

Answer

Head and shoulders for sure. It’ll help both of those problems. It’ll help the dry scalp and the oil. Unfortunately I have dry hair and it makes it even drier but it is so good for my scalp!

Answer

I use head and shoulders just the shampoo though. I can’t condition or my hair is oily as soon as I step out of the shower
