Dry scalp: Why it itches, flakes and how to soothe it?

Have you ever asked yourself, “Why is my scalp tight?” after washing your hair, or noticed tiny white flakes on your shoulders? Dry scalp is a fairly common problem that often occurs especially in the colder months, due to improper care or stress. Although the symptoms sometimes seem mild, a long-term dry scalp can lead to itching, irritation and even slowed hair growth.

The good news? You can successfully soothe a dry scalp – with gentle care, proper habits, and thoughtful products.

Below we explain why dry scalp occurs and how you can help yourself.


1. Weather and air affect your scalp

Winter and the colder months bring dry air, indoor heating, and less humidity. All of this negatively affects your skin – including your scalp. The result? Tight skin, itchiness, and dry flakes.

Solution:
– In the colder months, give your scalp extra moisturizing care
– Wash your hair with lukewarm water, not hot water.
– Use natural serums that soothe and moisturize

Elixiré tip: Massage a few drops after each wash. Elixiré Power Growth Hair Serum into the scalp. Its rich formulation with AnaGain™ and Capixyl™ It soothes, moisturizes and promotes the regeneration of dry skin, and with regular use, it makes your hair visibly thicker and stronger.

2. Gentle care is the key to a healthy scalp

Many people use harsh shampoos that contain sulfates, parabens, or alcohol – and these can actually dry out your scalp even more.

Solution:
– Choose mild, sulfate-free shampoos
– Wash your hair no more than 2-3 times a week
– Avoid aggressive drying with a hot hairdryer

Elixiré tip: For balanced care, combine Elixiré serum with a mild natural shampoo free of fragrances and irritating ingredients.

3. Nutrient deficiencies also affect the scalp

If your body doesn't get enough omega-3 fats, vitamins A, E, and D, it will quickly show on your skin and scalp. A dry, sensitive scalp can be a sign of an internal imbalance.

Solution:
– Include healthy fats in your diet (avocado, nuts, salmon)
– Drink enough water
– Add nutritional supplements that nourish hair from within

Elixiré tip: Elixiré Hair Fusion capsules They contain carefully selected vitamins, minerals and plant extracts that take care of your hair and scalp from the inside - for shiny hair and a balanced scalp.


4. Stress and hormonal imbalances can cause dryness

The body often reacts under stress with dry skin, worsening dermatitis, or even flaking. Hormonal changes (after childbirth, during menopause, or due to diet) can also affect the balance in your scalp.

Solution:
– Find a routine that calms you down (yoga, meditation, walking)
– Ensure regular scalp care
– Use products that restore the skin barrier

Elixiré tip: Elixiré serum not only soothes itching, but also helps restore balance to the scalp – making it ideal during times of stress or hormonal changes.
