Tips for itchy scalp and dandruff
An itchy, flaky scalp can be very unpleasant. We've put together four simple tips that will provide immediate relief from an itchy scalp.
1. Dry scalp
An itchy, flaky scalp can occur when the scalp is dry. Especially in summer, the stronger UV rays can stress and dry out your scalp even more. Our tip: Pour hair oil into the palm of your hand and massage it into your scalp. Leave it on for 15-30 minutes, then shampoo your hair as usual. For a more intensive treatment, you can also leave the oil on overnight.
2. Sensitive scalp
Another reason your scalp might be itchy and flaky could be an intolerance to your shampoo. If this is the case, you can switch to a milder shampoo. When purchasing a new shampoo, it's best to make sure it's suitable for sensitive scalps and doesn't contain overly harsh surfactants. Also, make sure the shampoo doesn't contain silicones. These cause buildup on the hair and scalp and can lead to skin irritation over time.
The Exfoliating & Hydrating Hair Duo is the perfect set for a sensitive and irritated scalp: The shampoo gently exfoliates your scalp and removes dead skin cells and buildup, while the conditioner intensively moisturizes your hair.
3. Washing your hair frequently
Furthermore, frequent hair washing can lead to an itchy scalp and dandruff. Not only chlorine and UV radiation, but also any contact with water can potentially dry out your scalp . Especially during the hot season, you should therefore be careful not to wash your hair too often. For example, you can reduce the frequency by washing your hair every day to every other day.
To reduce the frequency of hair washing, solid shampoos are particularly suitable, and they're also extremely practical when traveling. Not only are you doing something good for the environment, but they're also gentle on your scalp, as they don't contain artificial preservatives or strong surfactants.

The solid conditioner also intensively nourishes your hair, effectively preventing split ends and breakage.
4. Stress
Stress can have a negative impact on the body and lead to various symptoms. An itchy scalp can also be a sign of stress. If this is the case, you can try to reduce stress or incorporate moments of relaxation into your daily routine. For example, you could set aside half an hour each day to choose an activity that relaxes you.
