Dry Scalp Treatment

The Dry Scalp Treatment is a lightweight leave-in scalp oil for a dry, flaky or tight-feeling scalp, massaged in daily to moisturize the scalp and leave hair smooth and soft. It is made with Andiroba, Foraha, Avocado, Jojoba, Olive, Kukui Nut, Borage, Grapeseed, Sea Buckthorn and Sunflower Seed Oils, Hibiscus Flower, Green Tea and Echinacea Extracts and Vitamin E, with Lemongrass, Geranium, Orange Peel, Patchouli and Ylang Ylang Oils. It is free from dyes, artificial colors, fragrances and parabens.

Shake the bottle well. Part your hair and apply a small amount of the Dry Scalp Treatment directly to your scalp, section by section, then massage it in gently with your fingertips. It is a leave-in serum, so there is no need to rinse, and it can be used on wet or dry hair. Use it daily. If your hair is fine or thin, use only a little to keep it from looking greasy, and smooth any extra oil over your ends.

A dry scalp usually sheds small, white, powdery flakes that fall easily onto your shoulders, and the skin may look dull or slightly rough and feel tight or uncomfortable, especially after washing; a leave-in oil like the Dry Scalp Treatment helps it feel moisturized. The hair may also look dry and frizzy. Large, yellowish, greasy flakes point more to dandruff, while thick, raised patches with silvery scales may be psoriasis. If you are not sure, or the scalp is red or sore, see a dermatologist.

A dry scalp on its own does not usually cause hair loss, but scratching a dry, uncomfortable scalp can break hairs and irritate the skin, and keeping it moisturized with the Dry Scalp Treatment helps it feel comfortable. Some conditions that cause flaking, like dandruff or psoriasis, can come with shedding, so it is worth finding the cause. Be gentle: avoid scratching, use lukewarm water and comb carefully. If you notice shedding, thinning or patches along with flaking, see a dermatologist.

It depends on your scalp and hair: a light oil like the Dry Scalp Treatment is made to be used daily in small amounts, while richer oils are usually used once or twice a week before washing. If your scalp is very dry, daily use helps keep it comfortable; if your hair is fine or gets oily quickly, use less, or apply it every other day. Always start with a small amount and massage it into the scalp. If you are prone to dandruff, ask a dermatologist before oiling your scalp often.

Lighter oils that are similar to the scalp's own oil, like jojoba and olive, spread easily and moisturize without a heavy feel, and the Dry Scalp Treatment blends them with richer Andiroba, Foraha, Avocado, Borage and Sea Buckthorn Oils. A blend gives both quick absorption and longer-lasting moisture. Look for a formula without dyes or artificial fragrances, use a small amount and massage it into the scalp.
