How to Get Rid of Dry Scalp in 5 Easy Steps

Dry scalp is the condition of having flakes and discomfort on the scalp due to dryness or the absence of natural oils. One could obtain a dry scalp for a variety of reasons, including health issues, environmental stressors, and even mishandling or not properly taking care of the scalp and hair. We understand the difficulty that having a dry scalp could create, which is why we are going to inform you on how to get rid of dry scalp in 5 easy steps!


Step 1: Identify the issue


In order to get rid of dry scalp, one must first identify whether or not they have a dry scalp, or if there are other underlying conditions such as medications, health issues, or diseases, and even biological or environmental factors that are causing the dryness of the scalp. That is why we always recommend getting a scalp analysis to better understand what is causing dryness at the scalp. Once the underlying issue is identified, with the help of a scalp analysis, we can begin with a scalp treatment.


Scalp treatments are a great way to target the scalp and combat any issues, to help soothe and calm problem areas, and also promote healthier hair growth as well. There are a variety of options when it comes to scalp treatments, which is why it is vital to know what scalp conditions you are experiencing before moving along to choosing a specific treatment.


Step 2: Booster

Once you have identified which scalp concern you are dealing with, you can begin with step 1. Step 1 starts with a scalp solution that penetrates deep into the skin in preparation for the hair and scalp to be restored. It will also activate the cells for the remaining scalp care products to work accordingly. An example of a scalp solution that is formulated for this purpose is the Purifying Booster from Active Care that works to prevent scalp irritation, itching, and dry flakes. 


The Purifying Booster is created with plant extracts such as Pine, Rosemary, and Burdock as a way to purify and restore the scalp and leave it fresh and free of impurities for the next couple of steps. This is a great way to target the problem and begin your journey to get rid of dryness at the root.


Step 3 - Serum

Serums are typically oil-based and are a concoction of elements that work together to treat something, whether that be skin, hair, nails, and so much more. However, the serum we will be talking about today is a scalp serum. These serums usually come with droppers as a way to make the application a lot easier and to place the product in specified areas. We recommend a serum that is packed with moisturizing essential oils, and that will help combat dry skin. Luckily, Active Care also has a Purifying Serum that is packed with Argan oil, eucalyptus, lavender, lemon, rosemary, and peppermint extracts, which are all incredibly beneficial for combating product buildup and dry flakes. They work to purify the dry skin and calm any itchiness by providing moisturizing and protective benefits.


Step 4: Gentle Shampoo


One of the main concerns of having a dry scalp is the irritation and itchiness that it may cause. Once a scratch is triggered, flakes may appear. That is why using a shampoo that is made to combat dry scalp issues is probably one of the most important steps one can take when treating such concerns. Not only will a dry scalp or clarifying shampoo help control flaking, but it should relieve the scalp of itching and dryness. One gentle shampoo we recommend is the Purifying Shampoo by Active Care that restores moisture balance to moisture-starved hair and scalp as well as cleanses deep enough to control flaking caused by dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. The ingredients used to make this purifying shampoo include myrrh, pine, and cypress extracts that are known to help soothe and eliminate dead skin cells and buildup, as they have antiseptic and anti-fungal properties. 


Step 5: Scalp Lotion

Scalp lotions are not actually in cream form; they are more liquid-based and are created to treat the scalp problem by stimulating and rebalancing the scalp. Since the lotion acts as the finishing touch, it typically remains on the scalp for a more extended period of time, giving it the ability to work the hardest to battle the causes of dry scalp until your next wash or treatment day. That is why Active Care created their Purifying Lotion, which is specially formulated with nine essential oils to remove dirt and environmental impurities as well as refresh and purify the skin’s microflora and alleviate dryness.
