HOW TO GET RID OF A DRY SCALP

HOW TO GET RID OF A DRY SCALP

Dry scalp is a really common problem, but it’s so easy to tackle. Find out how to treat your dry scalp.

Dry scalp feels similar to dry skin elsewhere on the body.
You’ll recognise it from an uncomfortably tight sensation. You might even see redness or skin flaking on the scalp.

It’s usually the result of damage to the outer layer of skin cells, letting moisture escape too easily.

Dandruff is one major cause of dry scalp ­– it disrupts the skin’s natural moisture barrier, making it hard for the cells to retain moisture.

Dandruff is also much more common than you might think – studies show 1 out of every 2 people will experience it.

So treating your scalp for dandruff is often the smartest way to take care of that dry scalp.

 Using Head & Shoulders every time you wash your hair is clinically proven to moisturize your scalp, while fighting dandruff.

Our Dry Scalp Care 2-in-1 is specially designed to work with your body to restore your scalp’s natural moisture barrier, locking in up to 75% more moisture that ordinary shampoo.1

Dry Scalp Care with Almond Oil Shampoo is formulated with 3 moisturizers to provide instant moisture to your hair and scalp, while effectively tackling dandruff to keep them in great condition.

If your dry scalp doesn’t improve after using Head & Shoulders exclusively for 3 weeks,  it might be caused by something other than dandruff.

Talk to your doctor or dermatologist who will prescribe the best course of treatment.
