You can also make your own deep conditioner, one that will probably work as well as anything you can buy in the store. Beat two eggs with some olive oil and two tablespoons of water. No, no, this isn’t breakfast! Apply the mixture to your hair while its damp and let it sit for up to 40 minutes before rinsing it out. Alternatively, you can apply mayonnaise in a similar manner.

In addition to deep conditioning, you can apply this simple remedy directly to your scalp. A sugar scalp scrub will get rid of all of those extra skin cells that are shed when you scratch your scalp. Grab a bowl and pour in a quarter cup of brown sugar and a few tablespoons of your oil of choice. Mix to get a nice paste and rub this gently into your hair for a few minutes before rinsing, shampooing and conditioning as normal.

Adding a few drops of tea tree oil to your conditioner can also get rid of this problem.

If your problem with dry scalp continues or gets worse, you should check in with your health care provider. There could be several factors effecting this condition, including:

Fatty acids deficiency
Excess heat
Products containing alcohol
Excess shampooing
Dehydration
