In most cases, the irritation of the scalp is caused by the presence of dandruff and, therefore, the best way to treat this problem is to wash your hair with an anti-dandruff shampoo and avoid using very hot water, as it can dry the skin and make irritation worse.
However, when there is no dandruff but the scalp is irritated, there are some natural remedies that can be done at home to improve discomfort.
1. Water spray with vinegar
An excellent home remedy for scalp irritation is with apple cider vinegar because it not only reduces inflammation and prevents overgrowth of fungi, it also promotes hair rejuvenation, helping with irritation.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar; ¼ cup of water.
Method of preparation
Mix the ingredients and place in a spray bottle. Then spray the mixture on the scalp, massaging with gentle movements, placing a towel around the head and letting it act for 15 minutes. Finally, wash the wires but avoid using too hot water, as it can dry out your skin even more.
2. Shampoo with tea tree oil
Tea tree oil, also known as Tea tree , has excellent antibiotic action that allows the elimination of excess bacteria and fungi in the hair, preventing irritation and flaking of the scalp.
Ingredients
- 15 drops of tea tree oil.
Method of preparation
Mix the oil in the shampoo and use it normally when washing your hair.
3. Sarsaparilla tea
Sarsaparilla root contains quercetin, a substance with anti-inflammatory action that helps to relieve irritation over time, being a great addition to the apple cider vinegar spray and the malaleuca shampoo. In addition, this tea also helps to strengthen the immune system, reducing the risk of having skin infections.
Ingredients
- 2 to 4 g of dry sarsaparilla root; 1 cup of boiling water.
Method of preparation
Place the roots in the cup with boiling water and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Then strain and drink the tea 2 to 3 times a day.
