How to Get Rid of Dry Scalp Naturally

Dry scalp usually occurs when the oils produced by the sebaceous glands are depleted. It also can be caused by chronic dandruff or prolonged exposure to cold weather. Dry scalp is uncomfortable as it often causes excessive itching that might subsequently lead to irritation. To cure this dryness and discomfort, the area must be hydrated with natural oils such as olive oil that are massaged deeply into the scalp.
