WHY YOUR SCALP CAN BECOME DRY
Dry scalp is a really common problem for people with kinky or coily hair types. What causes it and what can you do about it?
The scalp is designed to hold in moisture, but the balance can be easily disrupted, leading to an uncomfortably dry scalp.
The outer layer of the skin, the stratum corneum, is responsible for locking moisture into the skin. So, when it becomes damaged, the moisture balance is disrupted.
A dry scalp is generally caused by irritation of some kind – this damages the outer layer of the skin and leads to a dry scalp, as the cells less effective at retaining moisture.
What causes this irritation?
The irritation could be caused by a number of factors, including:
dandruff
over-manipulation of the hair and styling
