5 Reasons Why you have an Itchy Scalp
Scratching an itchy scalp and having no idea what’s causing it? Well, these habits might be the cause of your troubles!
1. Sleeping late
Sleeping late leads to an itchy scalp. Skin cells regenerate the most during 10pm and 2am everyday. And we need to be asleep during this time window for our skin cells to rest.
2. Sleeping with your hair wet
Sleeping with your hair wet also irritates our scalp. A damp environment is ideal for bacteria growth. You need to shampoo and blow dry your hair fully before sleeping.
3. Using a new product
Itchy scalp may arise from an allergic reaction to hair products that you are using. This is also a sign for you to rinse off your shampoo more thoroughly. Leaving shampoo on your scalp can irritate it.
4. Infrequent washings of hair
Infrequent washings of hair may lead to an itchy scalp. Oily dandruff caused by overactive yeast on scalp can also cause itchiness. A dandruff condition may be due to stress, seasonal and hormones changes. Make sure to shampoo your hair more regularly to remove oil build up.
5. Extreme shampooing
On the other hand, extreme shampooing can also cause itchiness on dry scalps. Decrease the number of washes and moisturise with oils to soothe the itch.
