A sensitive scalp can have many causes, but there are simple steps you can take to avoid aggravating the problem. Here are five keythings to avoid if you suffer from a sensitive scalp.

1. Choosing the wrong shampoo

Avoid using a shampoo that’s harsh on sensitive skin and might dry out your scalp. Head & Shoulders Classic Clean Shampoois designed just for sensitive scalps. It’s a pH balanced, dye-free formula so it helps to fight dandruff but is gentleenough you can use it every day.

2. Washing your hair too often

If you’re struggling with a sensitive scalp, washing your hair too often can strip it of its natural oils, drying out your scalp and making the problem worse.

Washing your hair every couple of days using an anti-dandruff shampoo will nourish your scalp, keeping it hydrated and keeping dandruff under control.

3. Taking very hot showers

Washing your hair in very hot water can irritate your scalp, making it even more sensitive. Use warmor cool water to avoid drying out your hair and delicate scalp.

4. Over-styling your hair

Use minimal styling products. Gels and pastes build up at the roots of your hair, which can irritate and dry out a sensitive scalp. Using heat regularly to styleyour hair can also contribute to a dry scalp.

Brushing your hair too hard can also irritate your scalp. Try to use a wide toothed comb, and comb the hair evenly and smoothly.

5. Using a hair dryer too often

If you have a sensitive scalp and you use a hair dryer after every wash, try letting your hair dry naturally sometimes. As well as drying out the hair and causing it to become brittle, the heat can seriously dry out your scalp and aggravate any problems.
