Tried And Tested Tips For Itchy Scalp Treatments!

Topic Image

A relentlessly itchy and bleeding scalp is an infection that is exotic and wild enough to drive anyone suffering from it to the brink of suicide. I'm not exaggerating but if you're experiencing this hell of a condition and no doctor or dermatologist has been able to cure you, this article is the right one for you. You are not alone!

Itchy scalp treatments and causes:

The causes of a relentless itchy bleeding scalp are due to scalp infections brought about by contamination with an infected person or by not taking care of your hair or scalp. It can also be brought about by accidental damage to the scalp through the use of different kinds of harsh hair products. Secondly, your itchy scalp can be caused by hormonal imbalances resulting from a combination of stress and or diet.

If you are suffering from itchy scalp, sore scalp or flaky dry scalp with redness and rashes that drive you crazy then you may end up scalp picking. Do you constantly find yourself picking at & scratching? If yes, your instinct might be to immediately hunt for an effective product from the store shelf or from your doctor. However, most of these itchy scalp treatments that promise relief from dry scalp seem very attractive until you start reading the fine prints.

Many products in the market today are not the best choices to use for itchy scalp treatment. Here are three reasons why:

1. An itchy scalp treatment should never involve the use of hazardous or chemically engineered substances especially, Sodium Lauryl sulphate & silicon conditioners. Such type of treatments should never include any unnecessary ingredients.

2. A perfect itchy scalp treatment should never contain anything else other than natural ingredients.

3. Most people expect a shampoo to foam up nicely, smell good, take all the so-called "nasty" oiliness out of their hair, and make their hair feel squeaky-clean. Think about it! If your shampoo didn't foam up, smell good, or leave your hair feeling squeaky-clean, would you trust it? Well, 90% of commercial shampoos achieve the foaming effect to strip off not only dirt and grime but also those valuable natural oils that your scalp truly needs.

Yes, indeed your scalp needs oil. There is no other better natural protection for your head area. Your scalp needs to maintain a natural pH balance that if disturbed, it can develop into a dry, itchy irritated scalp. Good news; there are many natural remedies you can use with moisturizing oils and natural powerful alternatives. These products (i.e. Jojoba oil tea, tree, lavender, lemon and basil) heal & reverse any scalp problem by restoring balance safely. Oils act as an excellent scalp moisturizer, which helps to rebalance sebum. It is a promising itchy scalp treatment against dandruff and even lice. It also enlivens the scalp and brings the cells & follicles to attention.

Lastly, neem can also prove as a wonderful itching scalp treatment. Neem extracts and neem oils remove redness and itching when applied directly to your scalp. It's also a great skin conditioner above all else.
