Dry Scalp Treatment

Dry scalp often appears as tightness, itching, and fine, powdery flakes around the roots. Hair can feel flat or dry, and the scalp may sting after washing or styling.

This happens when the scalp’s barrier weakens and struggles to hold moisture. Unlike dandruff, which causes heavier, oily flakes, dry scalp sheds lighter ones that brush off easily.

If your scalp feels irritated or your hair has lost its softness, the right care can bring it back into balance, gently and naturally.

Dry Scalp Causes

Several factors can disrupt the scalp’s natural balance, making it dry, irritated, or prone to flaking.

Hot water and harsh shampoos: Very warm water and sulphate-heavy cleansers strip natural oils, leaving the scalp dry and vulnerable.
Over‑washing: Frequent cleansing removes protective lipids and disrupts the skin’s balance.
Heat styling and sun exposure: Heat from tools or sun draws moisture out and disturbs scalp comfort.
Product build‑up: Heavy styling products can trap residue, block pores, and prevent hydration from reaching the roots.
Stress and environmental factors: Changes in weather, dry air, and stress can disrupt the scalp’s ability to stay hydrated.

Scalp Treatment for Dry Scalp

Managing dry scalp requires a gentle, moisture-rich approach. At Earth & Skin, our scalp treatments are designed to restore comfort, soothe irritation, and support healthy hair from the root. Each step is focused on rebalancing the scalp while creating space for deep rest and relaxation.

Maidenhair Scalp Treatment

Our Maidenhair Scalp Treatment is one of the best dry scalp treatments, combining hydration, massage, and nourishment in one calming ritual.

We begin by pouring warm, nourishing oil directly onto the scalp to soften the skin and replenish moisture. A rich mask is then worked through the hair, ensuring every strand is coated and protected. Your head is wrapped in a hot towel to help the treatment absorb deeply, while your therapist gently massages your neck and shoulders.

The oil is left in for you to shampoo at home, allowing the benefits to continue long after your visit. This soothing treatment calms dryness, supports circulation, and leaves your scalp feeling balanced and cared for.

How to Fix and Prevent Dry Scalp

Supporting a healthy scalp starts with simple, consistent habits that protect your skin barrier and lock in moisture. Here are key steps to help manage and prevent dryness:

Wash gently: Use a mild, sulphate-free shampoo and avoid very hot water, which can strip away natural oils.
Space out washing: Over-washing can dry the scalp. Try washing every 2–3 days, depending on your hair type.
Limit heat styling: Blow dryers and straighteners can dry out the scalp. If used, apply heat protectant and avoid high settings.
Hydrate from within: Drink plenty of water and eat foods rich in omega-3s to support skin health.
Protect from the sun: Wear a hat or use SPF scalp spray during prolonged sun exposure.
Avoid heavy build-up: Use lightweight styling products and clarify the scalp when needed to remove residue.
