Treat itchy scalp with natural remedies

Dear KAMI skincare friends,

When we developed KAMI, the scalp wasn't the first area we thought of. However, through feedback from our users, we soon discovered that scalp itching, tightness, and dandruff are very common problems. Now, it's time for hats and caps, which can exacerbate the problem. Therefore, today we've summarized the most common causes of this annoying itching, along with a few suggestions for how to relieve it with natural remedies.

Scalp itching can be triggered by a variety of factors, from skin conditions to external influences. Here are the most common causes:

1. Dry scalp

One of the most common causes of an itchy scalp is dryness. If the scalp doesn't get enough moisture, it can feel tight and/or flaky. This can be caused by cold winter air, excessive blow-drying, or showering with too much heat. A shampoo with too many detergents can also cause a dry scalp.

2. Seborrheic dermatitis

Seborrheic dermatitis, a common form of dermatitis, is characterized by an overproduction of sebum, resulting in yellowish scales that often itch. This condition is sometimes associated with the overgrowth of yeasts such as Malassezia that disrupt the natural balance of the scalp.

3. Allergies and irritations

Sometimes an allergic reaction to certain ingredients in shampoos or hair care products is the trigger. Sulfates, parabens, and fragrances are common culprits. Excessive use of styling products or harsh hair dyes can also irritate the scalp and lead to itching.

4. Scalp psoriasis

Psoriasis, also known as psoriasis, is a chronic skin disease that causes itchy, flaky skin. It also occurs on the scalp and can result in thick, silvery scales.

5. stress

Stress isn't just bad for your overall health, it can also affect the condition of your scalp. It can worsen existing skin conditions or even trigger new itching by weakening your immune system.

Often, the causes of scalp itching remain unclear even after several doctor visits. This was the case for one of our most loyal KAMI users, who had tried a variety of medicated shampoos and serums. He found his solution with KAMI skincare. More on that below!

Natural medical solutions for scalp itching

Here are some ideas for natural treatments for itchy scalp. Most of these products are very inexpensive, so you can try them without any problems. Please note that nothing rarely helps the first time. Give the new remedy at least two weeks to work, unless it causes irritation and worsens the symptoms.

1. Tea tree oil

Tea tree oil is a natural antiseptic and has antifungal properties. It can help fight bacteria and fungi on the scalp that cause itching. Dilute a few drops of tea tree oil in a carrier oil like jojoba oil and gently massage it into your scalp.

2. Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is known for its soothing and moisturizing properties. It can cool and moisturize dry, irritated scalps. Simply apply fresh aloe vera gel to your scalp and leave it on for 20 minutes.

Alternatively, you can of course try our KAMI skincare 2-phase care spray, which combines aloe vera with our high-quality SOS skin care oil.

3. Apple cider vinegar

Apple cider vinegar can help balance your scalp's pH and remove excess oil and residue from conditioners and styling products. Mix one part apple cider vinegar with two parts water and spray it on your scalp. Rinse after 10-15 minutes.

4. Coconut oil

Coconut oil has moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties. Gently massage it into your scalp and leave it on overnight to soothe dry scalp. Wash it out the next day with a (medicated) shampoo!

5. Oat milk

Although it may sound surprising, oat milk is ideal for sensitive and irritated scalps. It has a soothing effect and helps relieve itching. You can make an oat milk bath for your hair or mix a natural mask with oatmeal and water.

The KAMI skincare solution

If you want to soothe your scalp naturally, we recommend the KAMI skincare 2-Phase Care Spray . It combines the power of natural ingredients with a 2-phase formula that eliminates the need for excessive emulsifiers. The spray not only provides intensive moisture but also helps soothe irritated and itchy scalps.

  • The valuable plant oils penetrate the scalp and maintain thereby intensively.
  • Organic aloe vera has a cooling and soothing effect, making it ideal for scalp problems such as dryness or irritation.
  • Caution: Shake the spray well before each use to mix the two phases.

The story of our loyal KAMI user

As so often happens, chance played a role here too: Our customer got a sample of our 2-Phase Care Spray from a family member who knew about his problems. At that time, he had been suffering from itching and very small, fine flakes for a long time, and had tried all kinds of medicated shampoos, ointments, and tinctures – nothing helped.

With this application he got his problem under control:

  1. Shake the 2-phase spray well and spray onto the scalp in the morning.
  2. Let it work! Feel free to adapt it to your morning routine, but a processing time of 10-15 minutes would be good.
  3. Rinse with a gentle, medicated shampoo. Our client uses the Ducray brand, but I'm sure there are comparable products available.

With that in mind: Feel good in your (head) skin!
