An itchy scalp can be frustrating and sometimes even embarrassing. It can be caused by dryness, product buildup, allergies, or more serious scalp conditions. The good news? Relief is possible. In this blog, we’ll break down the causes of itchy scalp, the most effective treatments, and recommend top products available at Perfect Trust Beauty.
Common Causes of Itchy Scalp
1. Dryness or Dehydration
Lack of moisture is a leading cause of itchiness, often worsened by cold weather or overwashing.
2. Dandruff or Seborrheic Dermatitis
These conditions lead to flakes and persistent itching, typically caused by yeast overgrowth or irritated skin.
3. Allergic Reactions
Harsh chemicals in hair dyes or shampoos may trigger allergic responses that result in itchiness.
4. Poor Scalp Hygiene
Not cleansing properly can cause buildup of oils and products, leading to irritation.
