Store-Bought Remedies for Dry Scalp

A dry scalp can lead to flaky dandruff in your hair, which is both embarrassing and uncomfortable. The main reason for dry scalp is due to a lack of moisture on the scalp itself. This moisture can be replaced by using anti-dandruff shampoos, which can be purchased at drugstores, beauty stores and even some grocery stores.

  1. Garnier Fructis Fortifying Anti-Dandruff Shampoo

    • Garnier Fructis makes an anti-dandruff shampoo that is formulated with vitamins B3 and B6, and has fructose, glucose and fruit acids, which have been proven to make the hair five times stronger according to Garnier.com. The fortifying anti-dandruff shampoo not only adds moisture to the scalp, it also makes the hair itself fuller and heavier as you use the shampoo over a period of time. Unlike other shampoos that cure dry scalp, the Garnier Fructis shampoo has an attractive scent, which makes it enjoyable to use regularly.

    Head & Shoulders Intensive Treatment Shampoo

    • Head & Shoulders is an effective dry scalp and dandruff cures for hair, and it should be used by people who have severe dandruff and dry scalp problems. Head & Shoulders uses a gentle formula that adds large amounts of moisture to the scalp, allowing the hair to respond. When using this shampoo, it usually takes a few months before the dry scalp is entirely gone, but for those who have suffered with the condition, it is well worth the wait. However, the smell of Head & Shoulders is not as fresh or fruity as other dry-scalp shampoos.

    Aveda Scalp Benefits Balancing Shampoo

    • Aveda makes high-end beauty products, soaps and scents. The Aveda Scalp Benefits Balancing Shampoo is made for people who want to continue using their Aveda products but also want to rid themselves of a dry scalp and dandruff. The shampoo is designed to relieve itchiness, and it also smells better then most of the other shampoos of its nature. This dry-scalp shampoo is also ideal for those who have incredibly oily roots on their hair, allowing people to go a day or two between washes. However, Aveda Scalp Benefits Balancing Shampoo is relatively expensive, being two to three times as much as its competing anti-dandruff shampoos.
