Help my scalp itches!
A dry scalp can simply be genetic: some people naturally produce less sebum, which causes the skin to dry out more quickly. But there are also external factors. Stress , the use of shampoos with aggressive sulphates , or skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis can all cause an irritated, flaky or itchy scalp. Weather conditions such as cold, wind and dry air, and hormonal fluctuations – for example during pregnancy, menstruation or menopause – can also disrupt the natural balance of the scalp. Fortunately, there is a lot you can do to provide relief and make your scalp healthy again.
It starts with self love
A healthy, hydrated scalp starts from within. Think of it as an exclusive VIP club where only B, D, and omega-3 fatty acids are on the guest list. Deficient? You won’t get in, and your scalp will let you know with dryness, itchiness, and flakes . Not exactly the glamorous look we were hoping for, right? Luckily, you can make your scalp happy again by opting for a healthy, nutritious diet . Think oily fish, nuts, seeds, avocado, and eggs – all rich in skin-nourishing nutrients. And don’t forget water : a well-hydrated body means a well-hydrated scalp. So nutrition is an important pillar in your scalp care – working from within pays off.

DRY SCALP PRODUCTS
in summary
A dry scalp doesn’t just happen. It can be caused by genetics (low sebum production), stress , hormonal fluctuations , cold or dry air , or the use of aggressive hair products with sulphates and alcohol . This can lead to itching, flaking, irritation and dull hair . Even if you eat healthily, drink enough water and avoid exposure to extreme weather conditions, your scalp can still become unbalanced. Because the truth is: nutrition and lifestyle are important, but without the right care products your scalp simply won’t calm down .
That’s why we developed the Serene shampoo – especially for dry and sensitive scalps , with organic plum extract , radish root ferment filtrate and linden flower extract . For daily maintenance without drying out, there are our sulphate-free natural shampoos Calm Breeze (with organic aloe vera and vetiver scent) and Dewy Spring (with a fresh, light scent). They support the natural balance of your scalp – even if you don’t have any complaints, but do want to prevent them.
In short: even if you do everything right, you still need the right shampoo to keep your scalp healthy – and thus lay the foundation for strong, shiny hair.

What is the best shampoo for dry scalp?
For intensive care, we recommend the Serene Shampoo , specially developed for dry, sensitive and itchy scalps.

Can I wash my hair every day with a dry scalp?
Yes, as long as you use a gentle, natural shampoo . The Serene Shampoo , but also our Calm Breeze or Dewy Spring shampoo are safe for daily use. They are free of SLS and other drying ingredients , and moisturize without disturbing the natural balance of the scalp.
How do I know if I have dandruff or a dry scalp?
With a dry scalp, you often see fine, white flakes and feel tightness or itching. With dandruff, the flakes are often larger, yellowish and greasier. In both cases, a sulfate-free, calming shampoo such as the Serene Shampoo helps to reduce irritation and restore the scalp's balance.
What is the difference between the Dewy Spring and Calm Breeze shampoo?
Both shampoos are ideal for daily use and contain a nourishing base of organic aloe vera instead of water. Calm Breeze has a luxurious, earthy vetiver scent, while Dewy Spring has a fresh, airy scent. Both help prevent dryness and are suitable for those prone to flakes or tightness .
How do I take extra good care of my dry scalp besides shampoo?
After washing, use a hydrating leave-in conditioner . Our leave-in is specially formulated to restore and shine dull and dry hair caused by a dehydrated scalp . For extra care, you can apply a nourishing hair mask weekly that nourishes both hair and scalp and protects against further dehydration.
Why is scalp exfoliation important for dryness?
If you wash too little or use the wrong products , styling product residue, dead skin cells and sebum can build up , which can worsen itching and flaking. A gentle scalp scrub or hydrating mask will help remove this and allow nourishing ingredients to be better absorbed.
