Why Is My Scalp So Dry?

Dry scalp can be caused by everything from weather changes and product buildup to stress, over-washing, or simply using the wrong shampoo. The solution? Products that replenish moisture, balance oil production, and gently exfoliate the scalp—without stripping it of its natural oils.

Best Scalp Oils and Treatments for Relief

Exfoliating Scalp Scrubs to Boost Absorption

Over time, dead skin, sebum and product residue can clog follicles and block treatment absorption. Weekly scalp exfoliation is a game changer.

These scrubs gently polish the scalp and prep it for deeper treatment penetration:

Quick Scalp Care Routine (3x Per Week)

1. Exfoliate with a scalp scrub

2. Wash with a balancing or anti-dandruff shampoo
