Introduction

Scalp sensitivity is a common issue that affects many people. Burning, tingling, discomfort, irritation, and redness are indications of a Sensitive Scalp. Various reasons, such as heat exposure, harsh chemicals, pollutants, stress, psoriasis, product buildup, dandruff, or head lice, may cause these symptoms. An unbalanced diet or incorrect shampoo may also be the root cause of scalp sensitivity. Opt for sensitive scalp shampoo products that can soothe your scalp while maintaining natural moisture and oils as they gently clean the impurities from your hair. 

What causes Scalp Sensitivity?

There are several reasons why your scalp can become sensitive. Exposure to excessive heat, either through exposure to the sun, hot showers, or styling tools like straighteners or hair dryers, can cause sensitivity. Using products that contain sulfates, parabens, and artificial fragrances can also result in sensitivity. Some people may experience sensitivity after swimming due to chlorine and other chemicals found in the pool water. Overusing products like dry shampoo can cause residue buildup leading to clogged pores, itchiness, and excess oil production. Head lice can affect children and adults too, when they come in contact with an infected person. 

Skin conditions like folliculitis and psoriasis may affect your scalp. Folliculitis is an infection of hair follicles resulting in small pimple-like bumps on the scalp. Psoriasis manifests as sore, reddish patches with dandruff on the outermost layer. 

How to treat Scalp Sensitivity?

Avoid direct exposure to the sun, and protect your hair with a hat. Minimise styling products and opt for lukewarm water for showers to minimise sensitivity. Select sensitive scalp shampoo products that are hypoallergenic to avoid irritation. Detangle, repair, and protect the hair after a swim with gentle cleansing shampoos. Thoroughly wash your hair to ensure shampoos and conditioners are rinsed out to prevent product buildup. Scalp treatments are available to make eliminating lice a swift and painless experience. For skin conditions, consult a dermatologist and follow the treatment prescribed.
