Most people suffer from dry scalp, in fact studies have shown that 80%+ suffer from some type of skin problem. Whether it's dry scalp, dry skin, oily skin, itchy skin, diaper rash. A lot of people don't realize that most scalp problems are caused by the shampoos we use. Most shampoos we use today are nothing more than glorified detergents. It's horrible, it strips the hair and the scalp of the PH balance and can cause damage. It strips the hair and scalp of everything good and everything bad. Even people who have been using the same shampoo and suddenly get dry scalp, it's because there's not always an immediate effect, it can have an accumulative effect. Believe it or not, using shampoos are also some of the reasons for dry face and the rest of your body for that matter because it washes onto your body. The skin responds to natural in a simple example (If you eat healthy foods you body will respond well if you don't it won't). Skin has 7 layers (3 main ones) and that you need something that's trans dermal (travels though the seven layers) and will work it's way up to unpack dry dead and damaged cells and restore balance. Skin needs natural products and only that but the right formulation, and to add no dyes, colorants, fragrances. Over the counter creams I used (Eurcein to name one of many)

Dry scalp is rare. A diet deficient in fats and oils can cause it. If your diet contains even a small amount of fats or oils it is unlikely you have a dry scalp. You may have seborrhea which is a fancy name for dandruff. Selsun blue 1% shampoo on a regular basis is usually sufficient to treat seborrhea. I used to have the same problem. I don't know about you but I would even scratch to the point of even bleeding. I suffered from dry scalp for years among other dry skin problems. First I tried the dermatologist, who gave me Hydrocortisone or Steroid creams and shampoos, at first they seemed like they were helping but then it came back worse, almost with a vengeance. Almost all doctors and dermatologists recommend them. I later found out that they are hash chemicals with side effects (thin skin to the point of bleeding, they burn the skin, weaken the immune system and more). So learn from my mistakes and STAY AWAY. I tried Tar shampoos(with real tar) All kinds of over-the-counter (Head and Shoulders) products,

When i get dandruff what does that mean?

Dandruff is the cause of having a dry scalp ( the scalp is the top of your head where your hair is). When you have dry skin on your scalp, it starts coming off and you get little flakes of skin in your hair. It is itchy and uncomfortable. To get rid of it you can buy dandruff shampoo. The best , most affordable, and most common brand is called Head and Shoulders. Try to get a scented one, because the regular smells like glue. It should get rid of your dandruff. Also, try not to itch your head, because that will make you dandruff get worse. Hope this helps!
