__Dry scalp is a really common problem, but what exactly is it and how can you treat it?__ 

Damage to the outer layer of skin cells on the scalp is normally the cause of dry scalp, as this lets essential moisture escape easily.

Dandruff is a key cause of dry scalp &ndash; it disrupts the moisture barrier, making it hard for the cells to retain moisture, leading to a
dry, tight and often itchy feeling.

There are plenty of other factors that can make a dry scalp worse too, from heat styling to hot showers.

If after using Head & Shoulders exclusively for 3 weeks you see no improvement, consult a dermatologist, as your dry scalp could be
caused by something other than dandruff.
