Help! I have an itchy scalp!

Take care of your scalp on a daily basis

An itchy scalp can be a sign that your hair has been mistreated. Indeed, without realizing it, we regularly attack our scalp:it is therefore important to adopt the right gestures on a daily basis to regain healthy hair! The shampoo, first of all, must be adapted to your hair type, but also to your scalp. It is possible that you are allergic to one of the components of your usual shampoo:if in doubt, do not hesitate to test another product, choosing a mild and soothing shampoo. If the itching persists, your doctor can prescribe a specific shampoo. In general, to avoid an itchy scalp, avoid tying your hair too tightly and let it air dry.

Itchy scalp:the external causes

Sometimes itchy scalp is due to external causes such as stress or diet. If you eat too much fat, too much sugar and too much acid, you can have an itchy skull. Ditto if you do not drink enough water:in any case, quickly adopt a healthier lifestyle. Stress, too, can cause an itchy scalp. If you are too nervous or prone to repeated insomnia, talk to your doctor.

Have you considered lice?

Far from being anecdotal, this cause is often the first to be diagnosed in patients who suffer from itching. Inspect the heads of your dear darlings and, if you spot lice, immediately apply anti-lice treatment to the whole family.
