It’s common to experience Itchy and dry scalp, usually caused by dandruff and other inflammatory skin conditions.

One of Ghana’s leading braid salon, Silverhairgh has touched on some simple tips that you can do at home (DIY) to prevent and manage itchy dry scalp.
 
The franchise has observed many clients are complaining of itchy scalp amid the pandemic hence the need to share the vital information to everyone finding themselves in the similar shoes.

Here’s a piece to inform clients, especially ladies with braids, on how to properly treat their itchy and dry scalp at home:
 
First and foremost, research shows that Apple cider vinegar has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal properties which can help reduce itching triggered by dry skin. 

One can start by diluting apple cider vinegar in warm water, then after, use a clean washcloth to cleanse your scalp after a dry shampoo cleanse.  It can help soothe your itchy scalp.
 
Another way around it is using oils like organic coconut, peppermint oil, and tea tree oil. They are good and healthy for greasing your scalp to prevent dryness, which could cause itchiness.

We recommend you do this after cleansing your scalp at least twice every week.
 
The last easy tip is to patronise shampoos that have properties of zinc pyrithione. They do a good job when used in shampooing or cleansing the scalp.
