Tips on how to deal with itchy scalp

Itchy scalp is quite common in life. There are many reasons for itchy scalp. For example, if you do not pay attention to the hygiene of your head and have not washed your hair for a long time, it will cause bacteria to breed and lead to itchy scalp. It may also be caused by allergies. At this time, you must first pay attention to the cleanliness of your head. Of course, you cannot wash your hair too frequently. Some sunbathing can also help relieve the problem.

What to do if your head itches

1. I believe many friends will have this experience, that is, the more they scratch, the more itchy it becomes, especially after scratching very hard with their nails. Although there will be some relief for a few seconds, it will become even worse afterwards. So if your scalp itches, don't scratch it with your fingernails, use the pads of your fingers. Cut your nails short, exposing your fingertips, and use massage to relieve itching and calm you down.

2. Don’t wash your hair too frequently, because there is a layer of self-protection substance on the surface of the scalp and hair. If you wash your hair every day, the protective layer will be destroyed and the scalp will naturally become dry and itchy. Generally speaking, if sweating is not severe and hair is not easily dirty, washing it once or twice a week is most appropriate.

3. Everyone's hair quality is different, so you should choose the shampoo that suits you best. The water temperature should not be too hot when washing your hair, otherwise it will easily damage the oil of the scalp and hair, causing moisture loss and becoming dry and itchy. Be sure to rinse off the shampoo completely at the end, otherwise the shampoo remaining on the scalp will make the scalp itchy and uncomfortable.

4. When the sunlight outside is strong, be careful to avoid direct exposure of your head to the sun, wear a hat, etc. In addition, you should avoid eating irritating or spicy foods, and be careful not to smoke or drink, etc., to avoid irritation to the scalp and itching.

5. Do not dye your hair or try to avoid dyeing your hair as much as possible. Inferior dyes will not only make your hair dry and brittle, but will also damage your scalp, clog hair follicles and cause itching.

6. If the itching is severe and accompanied by a large amount of dandruff, and it cannot be improved even if you pay attention to personal details, then it is likely a fungal infection and you need to go to the hospital to get some medication.

When using, wash and dry your hair first, then apply 1/8 of the entire bottle of beer evenly on your hair, and do some hand massage to allow the beer to penetrate the roots of your hair. After 15 minutes, wash your hair with clean water and comb it with a wooden comb or horn comb. The effective nutrients in beer have a good therapeutic effect on preventing hair from drying out and falling out, and can also make hair shiny.

2. Baking soda

First of all, baking soda is a food-grade material. It can be eaten and can also be used for washing hair. It is one of the natural substitutes for shampoo.
