Dry scalp and dandruff have similar symptoms. Here are some tips to distinguish between them.
Signs of a dry scalp
You may experience one or more of the common symptoms. These factors include:
- flaking skin
- tightness of the scalp
- itchiness
- redness
What causes dry scalp?
Dryness occurs when the skin cells on the scalp's natural moisture defenses are damaged. Healthy skin locks moisture into your body.
An irritated scalp causes the outer layer of the skin to break down, allowing essential moisture to escape. As a result, the skin on the scalp dries out quickly.
Dry scalp is typically caused by dandruff
Dry scalp is a symptom of dandruff. Dandruff damages the skin on the surface of the scalp, causing dryness and irritation.
If the cause of your dry scalp is this common condition, you need to find the right shampoo to treat it.
The right shampoo should:
- moisturize the scalp to relieve dryness
- treat the root cause: dandruff
