Our director of creative content, Ella Dove, tried her own scalp facial at home: You can eat that in foods like oysters, lentils, white beans, dark chocolate, and tofu-which sounds like a delicious mix to me. Ferritin, on the other hand, is the way your body stores iron. You can get that vitamin D3 through products like eggs, salmon, or a vegan source like shiitake mushrooms. "Vitamin D3 internally will resolve typically around 70 percent of the cases of dry scalp separate dermatitis, dandruff, and psoriasis," he says. No matter which variety you dealing with, however, Gaunitz recommends approaching the problem from the inside out with nutrition before you use topical solutions. Again, the uniqueness of each dry scalp situation makes it a great subject to bring to your next styling or dermatologist appointment. "Styling and chemical product usage may change the level of inflammation on the surface of the scalp which may create a better environment for a negative scalp condition such as dry scalp," says Gaunitz.
It's also important to note that treatment for dry scalp doesn't vary by hair textures, but folks with certain textures may be more predisposed to scalp dryness based on the products they use. "A lot of underlying issues can cause dry scalp, such as an overgrowth of bacteria or fungus, changes in weather, low nutrient levels inclusive of vitamin D3 and ferritin, and overuse of drying agents on the scalp in shampoo, conditioners, and chemical processing." Basically, "dry scalp" is an umbrella term that encapsulates a lot, so you should, if possible, see a derm or a trichologist to confirm which of the three-dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, or psoriasis-you're tackling. This is actually a scalp condition that is either dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, or psoriasis," he says. "Dry scalp is typically a term that people use for a flaking or scaly scalp. (Look at you! You even have all the creams and oils to prove it.) But when it comes to scalp health, you might not know how to moisturize it properly-if you're doing it at all-and that might mean you're itching (literally) to make the skin up there less dry, says trichologist William Gaunitz.įirst, says Gaunitz, you need to understand what dry scalp is. You may know exactly what you're doing when it comes time to care for the skin on your face.
