Why Your Scalp is Itchy & Irritated — and How to Relieve Itchy Scalp Naturally

An itchy and irritated scalp can be uncomfortable and distracting, often signaling underlying scalp health issues. Whether you're experiencing dryness, dandruff, or product build-up, these concerns can affect not just your comfort but your hair health as well. Fortunately, there are solutions! Let’s explore some common causes of an itchy scalp and how you can relieve itchy scalp naturally.


Common Causes of an Itchy Scalp and How to Relieve Itchy Scalp Naturally

  1. Product Build-Up

    Conventional hair care products often contain harsh chemicals like sulfates, parabens, and silicones, which can build up on the scalp, leading to irritation and itching. If you've been using these products, your scalp might be crying out for a detox. Switching to organic products can cleanse the scalp gently while avoiding the harmful effects of synthetic chemicals.


  2. Dry Scalp

    In dry climates like Colorado Springs, your scalp can lose moisture, resulting in dryness and itchiness. Without proper hydration, the skin can flake and become irritated. For this, we recommend the Areté Micro-Exfoliating Scalp Treatment Masque and Oway Purifying Hair Bath For Dry Scalps. The masque gently exfoliates and nourishes your scalp, encouraging healthy hair growth and delivering much-needed moisture, while Oway Purifying Hair Bath For Dry Scalps deeply cleanses and hydrates the scalp, restoring balance and soothing irritation caused by dryness.


  3. Dandruff or Seborrheic Dermatitis

    Dandruff, often caused by an overproduction of oils, leads to flaking and itching. Seborrheic dermatitis is a more severe form of dandruff, resulting in inflamed, red, and scaly patches on the scalp. To tackle these conditions, we recommend Oway Purifying Hair Bath for Oily Scalps for those with oily dandruff or Oway Purifying Hair Bath for Dry Scalps for those with dry dandruff. Both products target dandruff at its root while soothing the scalp. Additionally, Oway Pure Biodynamic Thyme is a powerful botanical remedy that helps combat dandruff by purifying and rebalancing the scalp


  4. Allergic Reactions to Hair Products

    If you've recently switched to new hair products and noticed increased scalp sensitivity, it might be an allergic reaction. Common allergens include synthetic fragrances and dyes found in conventional products. Consider switching your hair products and try Oway Pure Biodynamic Helichrysum or Oway Soothing Hair Bath for sensitive scalps. Both treatments are formulated specifically for people with irritated, reactive scalps, offering soothing relief while nurturing your scalp without the use of harsh chemicals.


  5. Excess Oil Production

    Oily scalps can lead to itchiness, especially when excess oil combines with environmental pollutants or product build-up. For those dealing with an oily scalp, Oway Sebum Balance Hair Bath or Arete Detoxifying Herbal Hair Wash are excellent solutions to help balance oil production and reduce irritation naturally. These products gently cleanse the scalp without stripping it of essential oils, promoting a healthy balance while addressing excess oil and buildup.

Solutions for an Itchy and Irritated Scalp

  1. Switch to Organic, Non-Toxic Hair Products

    Switching to organic, non-toxic hair products is essential for soothing and maintaining a healthy scalp. Many conventional hair care products contain harsh chemicals, such as sulfates, parabens, and synthetic fragrances, which can irritate the scalp and strip it of its natural oils. Over time, these toxins can lead to long-term damage, such as dryness, inflammation, and even hair loss.

    By choosing non-toxic, organic products, you're protecting both your scalp and hair from these harmful ingredients. These products work with your body’s natural chemistry, promoting balance and long-term hair health. Making the switch also benefits your overall well-being, reducing exposure to toxic chemicals that can negatively affect not just your hair but your skin and health as a whole.


  2. Exfoliate and Treat Your Scalp

    Routine scalp exfoliation is crucial for removing dead skin cells, product build-up, and excess oil. Our TRU Signature Mask Treatment is the perfect solution for deep cleansing and revitalizing the scalp. This luxurious treatment helps relieve itching while promoting a healthy environment for hair growth.


  3. Hydrate and Moisturize

    If dryness is causing your itchiness, staying hydrated and using moisturizing products are essential. We recommend the Areté Heal & Hydrate Duo, which includes the perfect combination of restorative ingredients to lock in moisture and soothe the scalp.


  4. Dandruff Treatments

    For those dealing with dandruff or dry flakes, targeted treatments are necessary. The Oway Pure Biodynamic Thyme is a potent treatment designed to combat dandruff and restore scalp balance, providing relief from itching and flaking.
