Reasons Why You Might Be Having A Dry Scalp

Fellow Naturalistas!

Hope you are all doing well and taking good care of your manes.

I'll be sharing with you on some of the reasons why you experience a dry scalp even when you do not have dandruff. Mind you, there is a difference between a dry scalp and dandruff, but that's a story for another day! However, here are some reasons why you might be experiencing a dry scalp

1. You Do Not Drink Enough Water.

Our body needs water to thrive. It can't produce water on its own. When we don't drink enough water, our body reacts to it, it could lead to breakouts like pimples, dehydration, and off course dry scalp. Our hair, skin and nails suffer when we don't drink enough water. Depending on how the body intends to react. So drink up. At least 2litres a day for a start.


2. You Do Not Have A Good Hair Care Routine.

You should know when your hair would need a wash and how long you should be on a protective style.  You should know whether you have to shampoo or co-wash twice or more in a week to keep the dry scalp off. As for me, I had to wash and deep condition my hair every two weeks. I can't carry a protective style for more than 2weeks. Just find what works for you.


3. You Rarely Moisturize Your Scalp.

Applying moisture to your scalp is very important. You should always pay attention to your scalp. When you feel your scalp is a bit flaky, you need to moisturize. Whether a mixture of water and leave-in conditioner or any moisturising mix of your choice, it's entirely up to you. But if at the end it doesn't work, then it's time for a co-washing.


4. You Do Not Have A Balanced Diet.

Most often than not, we spend a lot of  time buying so many products to care for our hair and neglect what we take into the body (food, drinks et el). Forgetting that a good diet works for not just our overall health, but also helps with our hair.
Truth is: It's more about what you eat and drink and not about the products you use. So, start with a healthy and balanced diet today.

That's it for now, guys!

What other reasons do you think could cause a dry scalp? Do you think dandruff is different from dry scalp too?

P.S: if you are doing everything right and still experiencing a dry scalp, then it's time to see a hair specialist!

Until my next post, ciao! :)
