Causes and solutions for itchy scalp: How to soothe your skin sustainably

The scalp is one of the most sensitive areas of our skin and reacts easily to external and internal influences. Itching, redness, flaking, and even hair loss can result. This guide highlights the most common causes of an itchy scalp and offers valuable tips on how to relieve these symptoms.

Common causes of itchy scalp

  • Aggressive hair care and chemical treatments
    Frequent coloring, chemical treatments, or strong heat styling without heat protection can irritate the scalp. Likewise, harsh shampoos and conditioners with skin-irritating ingredients attack the scalp's lipid layer, drying it out and promoting inflammation or fungal infections.
  • Disturbed skin barrier
    When the protective lipid layer is weakened, the scalp can hardly retain moisture. The result: The skin dries out and reacts sensitively to external influences, which can lead to allergies and eczema.
  • Constant stress
    Prolonged stress can promote inflammation and make the skin more sensitive due to the increased release of cortisol. People under stress or suffering from depression are often particularly affected by itchy scalps.
  • Allergies and eczema
    Allergic reactions to skin care products and skin diseases such as neurodermatitis or psoriasis often cause dry, inflamed skin and persistent itching.
  • Side effects of medication
    Certain medications, including diuretics, thyroid medications, or antidepressants, can dry out the scalp and make it more sensitive.

7 tips to relieve an itchy scalp

A few simple changes in skincare routine can often help reduce itching. However, it's advisable to seek medical advice for possible skin conditions.

  1. Use gentle shampoo without sulfates
    Use a mild, sulfate-free shampoo like Ultramild Free Bio Shampoo , which is specially formulated for sensitive scalps and does not contain irritating surfactants.
  2. Choose products without unnecessary additives
    Make sure your skincare products are free of alcohol, fragrances, and preservatives. These additives can dry out your skin or cause irritation.
  3. Wash with lukewarm water
    High temperatures can be harsh on the scalp. Use lukewarm water and gently pat your hair dry after washing instead of rubbing it.
  4. Avoid chemical hair treatments
    Avoid chemical hair dyes or tints and use natural plant-based dyes that are gentler on the scalp.
  5. If possible, air dry hair
    Air-drying is gentler on your scalp, as the hot air from a hairdryer can irritate the skin. If a hairdryer is necessary, use the lowest temperature setting.
  6. Natural hair brush for gentle brushing
    Brushes with natural bristles are gentle on the scalp and promote blood circulation. A gentle brush massage removes dead skin cells without irritation.
  7. Additional moisture for the scalp
    Moisturizers like organic aloe vera juice or oat beta-glucan have hydrating and anti-inflammatory effects. Pure oils, on the other hand, are less suitable for the scalp, as they can only be washed out with harsh, skin-irritating surfactants.
