Dry, Dandruff & Itchy Scalp Treatments & Tips ♥ CGM Tips

March 28, 2022

I used to struggle with dandruff and a dry itchy scalp. Not sure if it was the products I was using, the water in my area, how often I was washing my hair, or a combination of everything. Either way, I no longer have an itchy scalp and I narrowed it down to a few things that I think could’ve helped me get rid of my dandruff and dry itchy scalp and I wanted to share what I did differently so that it could help those who are struggling with a dry itchy scalp and/or dandruff. I’m going to share what worked to cure my itchy dandruff scalp, hopefully, these tips and products help you no matter what hair type you have. I know how irritating these hair conditions can be so hopefully you find this post helpful.

For those who are new, I have curly 2B-2C curly/wavy hair and for the past 2 years, I’ve been trying to improve my curls by limiting unhealthy products and heat styling tools to help better my curly hair. I don’t 100% follow the Curly Hair Method but I have learned a lot from it and have implemented some of the CGM techniques and products into my routine. Check out my CGM posts here for more posts on my curly hair journey.

*Check with a doctor or skin dermatologist if you believe you have a major scalp concern.

Hair Washing
I wash my hair twice a week, I switch between using a shampoo, cowash, and clarifying shampoo. The cowash I’ve been using for the past few months has been the As I Am Dry & Itchy Scalp Care Cowash, it prevents itchiness by soothing the scalp with tea tree oil. I found that it really relieved my scalp after my first use! It gave me this tingling sensation that soothed and relieved my itchy scalp. I’m pretty sure this is one of the products that helped eliminate my itchy scalp the most.

Treatments
As for treatments, I used the Yes to Tea Tree Scalp Relief Soothing Scalp Treatment for a while. It contains tea tree oil to help nourish and cleanse, sage oil to help balance, witch hazel to soothe, and apple cider vinegar to help clarify and remove buildup from the scalp. The gel formula comes in an applicator tube with a brush/comb at the end. You apply the product all over your hair, combing the product through your hair and massaging the scalp with the brush. Leave on for 5-10 minutes then rinse and shampoo your hair out. I would use this every other day when my scalp was at its worst. I think I used this a total of 4-5x times before I naturally stopped using it because my scalp was no longer itchy and my hair no longer needed it.

On days when I clarify my hair, I also use a deep conditioner/hair mask. Clarifying shampoos helps eliminate dirt and product build-up. It’s important to cleanse your scalp to make sure that build-up doesn’t turn into dandruff and irritate your scalp. To counterbalance the clarifying, I use the Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Deep Treatment Masque because it helps lock in moisture and keeps my hair from feeling dry after clarifying my hair.

Tips
– Don’t sleep on wet hair
– Use oils as a pre-wash treatment
– Wash your hair 2-3x times a week
– Avoid using products that contain sulfates, parabens, and fragrance
– Avoid using products with heavy ingredients
– Avoid using too many products within a week
– Wash your pillowcases and bedsheets often

Have you had dandruff and/or dry itchy scalp before? How did you treat it?

✨🪸🧜🏻‍♀️ It’s the final day of t ✨🪸🧜🏻‍♀️ It’s the final day of the mermaid readathon! Thank you so much for hosting this readathon @thebrightsidegirl! I had so much fun reading these mermaid/island/ocean/underwater books! I also enjoyed making these mermaid themed flat lays for the photo challenges and can’t wait until next year! Swipe to see all the books I read and the mermaid treasures I collected! 🧜🏻‍♀️🪸✨

📖 Day 14: Fave mermaid read
Technically, my favorite read wasn’t a mermaid book but an island book 😆 Beauty Queens by Libba Bray was my favorite read during this readathon! It’s about a group of pageant girls who get stranded on a mysterious island. I listened to the audiobook and was blown away! The author narrates the entire book and does different voices for each of the characters in the book, and there are a lot of characters! Highly recommend the audiobook! I’m not a fan of the cover though, it looks like a smutty book 😂🙈 Have you read Beauty Queens? 👸🏻

Stay tuned for a mermaid readathon recap blog post which I’ll be posting on my website later this week! If you participated in this readathon, what was your favorite read?🧜🏻‍♀️

🦀 Day 12: Ocean creature
How cute is this cookie! I was gifted this crab sugar cookie on my birthday because I’m a Cancer 😆 but I thought it would be perfect for today’s photo challenge!

I just started the second book in the Emily Windsnap series, Emily Windsnap and the Monster from the Deep. I’m assuming based on the title, there will be some sort of ocean creature involved, we will see! 🧜🏻‍♀️

🧜🏻‍♀️ Day 11: Mermaid in the title
Last year, I wanted to read The Mermaid from Jeju by Sumi Hahn but didn’t get the chance to. So, this year one of my goals during this mermaid readathon is to finish this book! Have any of you read this novel?

I didn’t think I was going to have a picture for this one but when I opened the book “Mermaids, Sirens and Selkies: Myths and Legends“ by Jean Menzies I was surprised to see that the first story was about a merman! 😂
