5 Quick Questions to Check for Dry and Flaky Scalp

How do you know if your scalp is genuinely dry, or if it’s something else? To help you figure it out quickly, here are five simple questions to ask yourself.

1. Does Your Scalp Never Get Greasy?

A dry scalp stays dry even 3 days after shampooing or never gets greasy after washing. You can do a simple test and check how soon your scalp becomes oily after shampooing.

2. Does Your Scalp Itch Constantly?

An itchy scalp is one of the first signs of dryness. The lack of moisture in your scalp can irritate, leading to persistent itchiness. If you notice that your scalp is itching even without dandruff or other obvious reasons, it may be due to dryness.

3. Are You Experiencing Flaking?

Dry scalp flakes tend to be smaller and white, rather than yellow or oily. If you see these small white flakes on your shoulders or in your hair, it could indicate dryness rather than dandruff caused by excess oil.

4. Does Your Scalp Feel Tight or Uncomfortable After Washing?

A tight or uncomfortable feeling right after shampooing may mean your scalp is losing moisture. Some shampoos can strip the natural oils from your scalp, leaving it feeling tight and dry. If this is a regular occurrence, your scalp could be dehydrated.

5. Does Your Scalp Feel Rough or Scaly to the Touch?

When you run your fingers through your scalp, does it feel rough or even scaly? This texture could indicate a lack of hydration in the scalp, resulting in dead skin buildup and uneven texture.

If you answered “YES” to most of these questions

Your scalp tends to be a dry flaky scalp. It’s a good time to focus on scalp health: add hydration to your routine and avoid overwashing.
