  • Flaky, itchy scalp is a common hair problem caused by dandruff and infection. Dandruff tends to accumulate on the scalp in the form of scales that fall off like dust when the hair is combed or brushed. Dry flaky dandruff is known as scurf and is formed due to various factors such as intake of a faulty diet, hereditary factors, hormonal fluctuation and use of certain chemicals. Dandruff can also spread to other parts of the body such as the forehead, neck, ears, face etc. causing a great deal of skin irritation and itching. Increased secretion of sebum and sweating can worsen this condition.

    Natural treatment for flaky, itchy scalp:

    Intake of a healthy and well balanced diet is recommended to combat this condition effectively. You must include loads of fresh fruits and vegetables for treating this condition. Avoid the intake of a high fat diet including butter, cream, cheese, chocolates, candies etc. as it can worsen this condition. Vitamin B and Vitamin B12 should be supplemented.

    Hot oil treatment is highly beneficial for dealing with this condition. You must go in for a hot oil massage 2-3 times a week in order to treat this condition effectively. Almond oil, Aloe oil or Olive oil can be massaged on the scalp. Wrap a hot towel around your head once you are done with the massage and rinse off using liquid whey rinse.

    ZYX hair loss cream is highly beneficial for treating a number of hair problems, including dandruff. It is recommended to apply it topically to the hair in order to treat various hair problems.

    Tea Tree oil is also highly effective in treating a flaky, itchy scalp. Add a few drops of Tea Tree oil to base oil and use it for massaging the scalp.  Leave it overnight and wash off the following morning with lukewarm water.

    Rosemary is a valuable herb that helps combat dandruff effectively and prevents a flaky, itchy scalp. It can be cooked with food or used as a rinse. Rosemary oil is also quite effective in controlling and treating dandruff.
