Oh no—winter… and this itchy scalp? How to recover? Don’t worry! Here’s a list of home remedies to try for itchy scalp and to control dandruff problems. Dandruff may not completely vanish, but it can be reduced with a few simple remedies. We understand not all shampoos and hair-care products give long-lasting results, but home remedies are safe, gentle, and effective. Here are 5 remedies you should try this winter to curb scalp issues and minimise irritation this winter season.
Warm Coconut Oil Massage
Coconut oil keeps the scalp moisturised, which is essential during dry winter months. Slightly warm the oil and massage it into your scalp for 5–7 minutes. Leave overnight and wash in the morning. This reduces flakiness and soothes itchiness naturally.
Tea Tree Oil Treatment
A few drops of tea tree oil mixed with a carrier oil (like coconut or olive oil) can work wonders. Its antifungal properties help control dandruff-causing yeast and calm inflammation.
Aloe Vera Gel Application
Aloe vera offers cooling relief for an itchy scalp. Apply fresh aloe gel directly to your scalp, leave it on for 20 minutes, and rinse. It reduces redness, irritation, and dryness.
Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse
Apple Cider Vinegar helps balance scalp pH and fights dandruff-causing microbes. Dilute one part vinegar with two parts water and pour it over the scalp after shampooing. Leave for a few minutes before rinsing off.
Yogurt & Lemon Mask
This classic combination nourishes and clarifies the scalp. Yogurt reduces dryness while lemon’s acidity controls flakes. Leave the mixture on for 20 minutes and wash with a mild shampoo.
