Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. How to fix your dry, itchy, flaky, or oily scalp By Jill Percia If you experience itchi-ness and tiny white flakes on the top of your head and your shoulders YOU PROBABLY HAVE: A dry scalp THE CAUSE: Cold temps and moisture-sapping in-door heat contribute to the snowstorm on your LBD. "Like the skin on your body, your scalp gets flaky when it's parched," says Cunnane Phillips. Your shampoo could also be a culprit: Clear ones contain fewer nourishing oils.
ROOT RX: Do a hot oil treatment once a week, ad-vises Ava Shamban, M.D., a dermatologist in Beverly Hills. First, lather up with a creamy shampoo (try Bumble and Bumble Gentle Shampoo, $22, bum-bleandbumble.com), then towel-dry hair. Microwave 1/4 cup of jojoba oil for 20 seconds (try Aubrey Or-ganics 100% Organic Jojoba Oil, $11.67, aubrey-organics.com), then dab a cotton ball into the oil and press it over your entire scalp. Wrap your hair in a towel for 20 minutes, then shampoo again, condition, and rinse as you normally would. If you experience greasy roots and whitish-yellow
flakes throughout your (limp) hair YOU PROBABLY HAVE: An oily scalp THE CAUSE: Some peo-ple's scalps naturally over-produce oil (stress can make it worse). And when the oil mixes with bacteria, thick flakes form, fall off, and stick to hair. Too many salty, fatty, or sweet foods increase your scalp's pH, making it a bacteria-friendly environment.
ROOT RX: Three times a week, massage your scalp
with a salicylic-acid treat-
ment--it will exfoliate
flakes and control oil, says
Cunnane Phillips (try Nioxin 3-Part System
for Normal Hair, $44, nioxin.com for salons).

of factors can lead to dry hair, including environmental conditions, hair care habits, and your physical health. Environmental conditions that may cause dry hair include:
living in a dry, hot climate
spending a lot of time in the sun
frequently swimming in chlorinated water
Certain hair-care practices also contribute to dry hair. These include washing your hair too often, using harsh shampoos and conditioners, getting frequent chemical treatments, blow-drying your hair daily, and using electric curling irons or straighteners. In some cases, dry hair is the result of a health prob-
lem that makes it difficult for your hair to retain mois-ture. The following health conditions can dry out your hair. Anorexia nervosa This is an eating disorder in which a person undergoes self-starvation. People who suffer from this condition are typically underweight and have an extreme fear of gaining weight. Anorexia nervosa can cause malnutri-tion. Dry, brittle hair is one of the many side effects of anorexia and malnutrition. Hypoparathyroidism This condition causes the parathyroid gland in your neck to produce too little parathyroid hormone, which decreases the level of calcium in your blood.
What Is Dry Hair? Dry hair occurs when your hair does not receive enough moisture. This reduces its sheen and can make your hair appear frizzy, lifeless, and dull. Dry hair can affect men and women of any age. Sheen and luster are two important signs of healthy hair. Your hair consists of three layers. In healthy hair, the outer layer thoroughly protects the inner layers. Natural oils in the outer layer also reflect light, making your hair shiny. In cases of dry hair, the outer layer breaks down, which causes the hair to appear dull and unhealthy. Causes of Dry Hair There is no single cause of dry hair. Rather, a variety
Once a week, do a scalp "facial": Mix a teaspoon of baking soda with clear sham-poo, lather, then rinse. Next, combine a cup of water and a cup of apple cider vinegar with three drops of lavender oil and pour it over your scalp. "This reduces scalp pH, making it inhospitable for bacte-ria so flakes don't form," says Shamban. If you experience white bumps along your hairline
YOU PROBABLY HAVE: Scalp folliculitis,
a bacterial inflammation of the hair folli-
cles
THE CAUSE: Wearing a hat while you
exercise. Trapped sweat, oil, and bacteria
can clog hair follicles and form tiny pus-
tules. (Those with chronic eczema or acne
and methods to see which works best for your particular hair
type. Here are 3 moisturizing oils and 3 sealing oils worth
putting to the test!
Coconut Oil
Unrefined Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is the least processed
form of the oil and your best bet for optimal hair health. It
has been debated whether Coconut Oil is a moisturizer or a
sealant, but studies have proved it to be a bit of both. The
molecular structure of the oil is small enough to allow it to
penetrate, unlike most other oils, but in a very limited quanti-
ty. It is usually most effective when used with a bit of water
or a water-based leave-in. And because its penetration is
The key to healthy growth and minimized breakage is
moisture. Our primary focus, as naturals, is figuring out the
regimen that will allow us to properly apply and retain as
much of it as possible. A lot of the beauty information on
the internet can be pretty confusing when it comes to which
oils to use on our coils and why. Scientifically, I’ve read that
only 3 oils have a molecular structure small enough to
actually penetrate the hair shaft and induce moisture; while
the rest will sit on top of the strand, coating the cuticle, as
more of a sealant of moisture. An understanding of both
types will ensure an effective hair regimen. But, as always,
since no two heads are alike it is helpful to try different oils

are more prone to this condition.) If left un-
treated, follicles can become permanently
damaged, leading to hair loss. ROOT RX: Wash your hair with a tea tree shampoo after each workout—tea tree is natu-rally antibacterial and soothes an inflamed scalp, says Cunnane Phillips. (Try Jason Tea Tree Normalizing Shampoo, $10.49, jason-natural.com). For extreme cases that extend past the hairline and onto your entire scalp, your derm may prescribe a topical steroid to shrink the bumps. If you experience patches of scaly red skin that produce silvery flakes
YOU PROBABLY HAVE: Psoriasis, an inflam-
matory skin condition that can crop up in
your twenties or early thirties.
THE CAUSE: Genetics. Psoriasis can be
hereditary, and stress contributes to flare-
ups, says Cunnane Phillips. ROOT RX: Psoriasis has no cure, but it can be kept under control. Cunnane Phillips suggests using a shampoo with the anti-fungal ingredient piroctone olamine three times a week to stop itching and scaling (try Phyto Phytheol Intense Anti-Dandruff Scalp Treatment Shampoo, $24, sephora.com). If symptoms don't subside, see your dermatologist, who may recommend a treatment containing coal tar, which has been shown to help soften rough, scaly patches
is limited, the majority of the coconut oil applied will actually
stay outside coating the cuticle as a sealant. This is how and
why it can be seen as both! It is also extremely beneficial for
those suffering from high porosity strands, as the natural
protein it provides can work towards fortifying the new
growth and minimizing any further damage against the rest of
your strands.
Olive Oil
Extra Virgin Olive Oil is 2nd oil known for its penetrating
and moisturizing properties. Similar to coconut oil, it is best
used with water or a water-based leave-in. While most
Calcium is a key nutrient for healthy bones, teeth, tissue, and hair. Hypothyroidism If you have this condition, your thyroid glands do not pro-duce enough thyroid hormones. Dry and brittle hair is an early symptom of hypothyroidism. Menkes Kinky Hair Disease People with this rare genetic condition have cells that are unable to absorb enough copper. Low copper absorption affects the health of their hair and can cause dryness. How to Treat Dry Hair Several at-home techniques can help improve your dry hair. Heat and sun exposure are common causes of dry hair. If you live in a dry, humidity-free climate, always protect your hair before going outdoors. Wear a hat and avoid long-term exposure to dry or windy air. You can also protect your hair by wearing a cap when swimming in the pool or ocean, since salt water and chlorine can easily damage your hair. If you suspect that your grooming habits are causing your dry hair, a few tips can help undo the damage and restore your hair’s moisture and luster. You should:
avoid daily shampooing
use a protein-enriched conditioner to repair hair
damage
blow-dry your hair less frequently
avoid heated styling products, such as flat irons,
curling irons, and electric rollers
condition your hair every time you wash it
use a shampoo and conditioner that are meant for
your hair type; there are hair products specifically formulated for chemically treated hair
Daily shampooing can rob your hair of its protective oils and cause dryness. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, your scalp makes less oil as you age, so you do not need to wash your hair as frequently. Chemical hair treatments and dyeing can also dry out your hair, making less frequent washing a better choice. (AAD) Try washing your hair once or twice a week to retain more moisture. You can also apply hair oils or leave-in condition-ers to add luster and softness. If a medical problem is causing your dry hair, your hair may improve once you treat the underlying condition. Work with
your doctor to find the best course of treatment for you Diagnosing Dry Hair If your dry hair is severe and does not respond to home treatments, your family doctor or a dermatologist may be able to pinpoint the cause. A dermatologist is a doctor who specializes in skin and hair conditions. He or she will exam

my favorite parts of this oil is its hair softening effects; as
well as its ability to draw out impurities and stimulate hair
growth. Its honey-like consistency makes it an ideal sealant
for those with thicker textures in need of more hold.
Grapeseed Oil
Grapeseed oil is idea for those wanting to seal in the
moisture from their water-based leave-ins or water without
feeling greasy or weighed down. This light oil is extremely
effective, especially for finer or thinner textures. As well as
for those with sensitivity to fragrance, as this oil is odor-
less. It is also beneficial as a heat protectant due to its
ability to withstand high heat. For best results, try using
Grapeseed oil as a deep treatment mixed with 8 drops of
Lavender Essential Oil on a monthly basis.
Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil is another light yet highly effective oil for sealing
moisture in natural hair. It’s actually my favorite consider-
ing it is the oil closest to that of our natural oil. Whenever
my scalp is feeling flaky or dry, or for those suffering from
ailments like Seborrheic Dermatitis, a deep massage with
jojoba oil before washing the hair will help replenish lost
moisture and restore the proper pH balance.
Extra Moisture Sealing Tips:
If you feel oil isn’t enough hold or sealing enough, try a
soft but thick butter like Raw Shea Butter. If you feel
butters and oils just aren’t for you, try sealing your hair,
after applying your leave-in, with Pure Aloe Vera Juice. Its
acidity is perfect for closing the cuticle.
people would assume oil and water don’t mix, it is the
oil that will help the hair strand retain the water! Olive
oil is also known to help promote shine and managea-
bility. I love it as a twice-monthly deep treatment with
avocado and coconut milk!
Avocado Oil
Avocado Oil is the 3rd of the penetrating and moistur-
izing oils. High in essential vitamins and nutrients,
many have seen improved hair stimulation and growth
using this oil regularly. Best used as a pre-poo (before
washing) weekly deep treatment.

-ine your hair and ask questions to assess your hair habits. During your appointment, your doctor or dermatologist may ask:
How often do you wash your hair?
What type of hair products do you use?
What tools do you use to style your hair?
How long have you had dry hair?
Are you eating properly?
Do you have any other symptoms?
If your doctor is unable to determine the cause,
he or she may order a blood test to check for medical conditions such as hypothyroidism and hypoparathyroidism.
Complications from Dry Hair
Dry hair is a sign of hair damage. If left untreated, your hair
can become overly brittle and dry. This can trigger break-
age, or the snapping of hair strands.
Most cases of dry hair can be effectively treated with simple
lifestyle changes and moisturizing hair care products that
are available in drugstores or salons
