Ok, you’ve got a dry scalp, so you need to put some moisture back into it. How do home remedies for dry scalp compare to a moisturizing dry scalp shampoo?
The problem in a nutshell
A dry scalp is a problem that appears when the scalp’s natural moisture defenses are damaged and essential moisture is allowed to escape.
What you need to do is put moisture back in. And there are plenty of home remedies people try to do it.
Coconut or olive oil – do they work?
Advocates of coconut and olive oil as natural remedies claim that by moisturizing the scalp, these oils help to restore health and diminish the symptoms of a dry scalp.
There’s some truth in this theory – coconut oil is a good moisturizer. Many cultures all over the world use natural oils like this for skin or hair care.
However, there’s one area where these remedies fall short: they generally don’t tackle the underlying cause of a dry scalp.
In many cases, that’s dandruff. This can damage your scalp’s natural moisture defenses, leading to a dry scalp.
How dandruff causes a dry scalp
While you might feel some short-term relief from coconut or olive oil, they don’t help to eliminate the underlying problem of dandruff.
Why choose an anti-dandruff shampoo?
Anti-dandruff shampoos have been shown to be the fastest and easiest way to tackle a dry scalp¹.
They work by tackling the problem of dandruff that’s causing a dry scalp, allowing your body to focus on repairing the damage.
In fact, they’ve been proven to restore up to 75% more moisture than moisturizing shampoos alone².
