1. Turn down the temperature
As tempting as it is, especially in autumn and winter, to jump into a steaming shower in the morning, your scalp will thank you if you show a little moderation. Hot water can further irritate your scalp, breaking down your hair's protective natural oils and increasing that dry feeling. So play it cool and keep your shower at the lowest temperature you can comfortably handle.
2. Use a gentle shampoo
Your hair's natural oils help to keep your scalp itch-free – so it’s important to retain them as much as possible. Try using a shampoo that gently cleanses while delivering hydration, like TRESemmé Hydra Molecular Moisture Shampoo. It helps detox, revive dry hair, and prevent moisture loss, leaving hair soft, smooth, and full of natural movement and fluidity.
3. Nourish!
Prepare to remember the most important word in dry scalp care: nourish! Stressed and tired locks need extra TLC and a nourishing shampoo and conditioner like the Hydra Molecular Moisture system will help give your scalp an extra dose of soothing moisture for a healthy-looking head.
4. Go easy on products
With a dry scalp, there's usually dry hair. We know that sometimes the easiest solution to unmanageable, dry locks is taming them with dye and styling products. However, this can prolong the problem and make your scalp dry and your hair damaged. Don’t quit styling just yet – instead, use lightweight ones that care! Think flexible hairsprays and protective serums, to keep your hair smooth and shiny.
